The food was extremely tasty probably best bit of pork I've had. Would recommend.
P.S. Women washroom didn’t have hand soap nor toilet paper.
All of that was so surprising as we went here for lunch before and it was lovely. Nothing overly impressive but tasty and fresh. No idea what happened this time.
Generally the food was lovely but all of the main courses were dry and could do with more sauce. Two of our party carried on and ate their mains but two of party struggled and ended up sending their mains back. The rotolo pasta was very dry containing almost no sauce, with two pasta rolls on the plate which made them so dry they were inedible.
The venison had a fricassee of mushrooms/onions as its sauce, but it was more mushrooms/onions than actual sauce. The venison was plentiful and very well cooked but as it was all veg and no liquid in the fricassee it meant the dish was pretty much hunks of meat with no sauce.
The waitress spoke to the kitchen and asked for more sauce for the venison but we were just given another bowl of mushrooms which again didn’t address the dryness.
From a service perspective two of the mains were adjusted on the bill which was appreciated as we couldn’t eat them, but for £50 a head for 3-courses there are better food options in the city.
A few of the menu items may seem unfamiliar to the average diner, but be a little adventurous and you won't be disappointed. I tried the duck liver parfait (something I was unsure I would like) and thoroughly savoured every mouthful.
The portions are generous and filling. There's a good selection of drinks on offer. The staff are very knowledgeable and eager to make sure you have a great experience. Can't wait to go back.
