Our recent visit was at least our third and maybe fourth (all superb evenings), so time for a second review. Once again, they were turning people away who hadn't booked, and some tables were filled twice during the evening.
Of course you could fault the...décor and I'm sure the service falls short if you're looking for fixed smiles or obsequious waiting staff. The emphasis here is on the food! We've always found the quality to be superb, the service adequate, and the welcome understated but certainly not unfriendly. The wine list is perfectly good too.
We're still refining our choices and enjoying the research massively. We shared the mixed starters this time (sweetbreads, liver, kidneys, black pudding and chorizo). They were all gorgeous. We appreciated the fact that we could choose to eat them anything from rosy-pink to "cremated". Then we opted for a skewer and a petit entrecôte along with a selection of vegetables. The skewer came with some veg, so we'd over-ordered on that. Both dishes were lovely. We finished with our absolutes favourites for dessert, namely my sorbet with Cava and his dulce de leche.More
