The 1917 2-course lunch special was a wonderful way to sample traditional British foods, as the menu is composed of options that have been served since the restaurant opened in 1917 (hence, the name!). I opted for the haddock and salmon fish cake starter and the main course shepherd's pie; both were flavorful and filling. And, if you're a woman, make sure you check out the restroom!

The roads themselves have been walked by Kings, Queens, Lords, Ladies, scholars and authors. The staff was super kind and helpful. They explained the offerings and made helpful suggestions on what to order. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant were breathtaking! Being here almost felt like being a character in an adventure novel. There is a functional wheel from when it used to be a mill. You just can't help being enveloped in the history and the ambience here. The food was also excellent here, which made it one of my favorite places in Southern England. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would eat here again!

As I looked at the menu prior to coming here, I was oscillating whether I want the lobster risotto or the famous ribeye that they are known for. In retrospect, I should have gone for the rib-eye, which was the safer bet, but I already had steak for lunch, plus, was feeling adventurous and so went for the lobster instead. Oops, my bad... The lobster hardly stood out and the risotto was undercooked. The risotto was also very bland, which I actually appreciate because I like my foods bland rather than salty. I was proud of myself for finishing my dinner, but dessert was necessary to make up for my underwhelming experience. The molten chocolate lava cake wasn't amazing, just exactly what you would expect it to taste like. Again, I think Browns deserves another shot considering they are known for their rib-eye steak.

The menu is a fun mix of sandwiches, salads and small plates. I went with the soup of the day (split pea and mint with ham) and the peach prosciutto salad. Each dish was beautifully presented and SO flavorful. I enjoyed every bite and the rest of my party seemed to enjoy their choices as well. I loved the outdoor seating with sweeping views of Trinity College and excellent people watching.

We called at The Senate for breakfast and I was very pleased to see something unfamiliar to me, namely the sauté potato breakfast, on the menu. It was very enjoyable, though I wish that there had been pepper mills full of black pepper on coarse grind on the tables. That would have really made it as I would have dosed quite liberally on the stuff. Sitting al fresco provided a wonderful view for the holiday snaps and the service was excellent. Those teapots were impressively heavy - presumably of cast iron. I initially thought that mine had stuck to the table but it was the weight!

I tried: Seared Scallops - they came perched on top of black pudding, and the flavours went together perfectly! These are soooo good. Suffolk Lamb Barnsley Chop - This chop was looovely too. The accompanying veggies weren't completely amazing (which surprised me as the potatoes were cooked in goose fat...which I normally love)but this chop made up for it. I had food envy in all directions as between us we ordered the whole menu, and everything looked delicious! Two of the ladies with our group are vegetarian...and there wasn't much on the menu for them to choose from (that's fair enough! It is a chop house after all!!) BUT the veggy hotpot was apparently really nice so meat lovers can even bring their veggy friends here without feeling TOO guilty.

They seem to take their food quite seriously and the service is attentive but unobtrusive. The only things that were really wrong were that the complimentary bread was rubbish - basically just large chunks of a sandwich loaf (they'd really have been better not bothering) - and the music selection was incongruous and awful but was thankfully on very quietly.

When we finished our drink we went inside to pay and I asked her if it was possible if we could have the exact same balcony table, she replied not necessarily the same table, at this point an older man from behind the bar commented "we cannot guarantee a balcony table at all" we looked at the waitress and said "Oh, we thought you confirmed a balcony table" she looked at the man who then commented "no, I have allocated them downstairs" we responded to the waitress that we particularly wanted a balcony table therefore any availability for the following evening, she looked and confirmed availability when the man (barman/manager?) said 'No, I told you we cannot guarantee balcony tables, I allocate on the day, therefore will decide tomorrow, do you want a booking or not" I asked why he was being so rude, my husband then said we just want to pay and leave, at this point he became verbally aggressive and told us to get out, my husband said to the embarrassed waitress please just take the payment we want to leave, the man just repeated "get out I do not want your money, get out and do not come back". We have absolutely no idea what triggered his shocking behaviour towards us as we were just trying to make a reservation.
