This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
It may not be the most distinctive, and it has a corporate whiff about it, but this restaurant blends wood, leather and glass to create a smart, contemporary yet comfortable diner – well suited to business lunches, shopping bites, office nights out or a romantic date. Service is very good, crisp and attentive without being over the top. The menu has an Asian twist with Goan fish-cakes and chilli squid to start alongside oysters and mussels. The king prawn tempura is good – satisfyingly large prawns in a tasty tempura batter. The scallops were on the small side – but tasty enough. The restaurant chain has it’s own heard of Limousin-cross cattle and the 8oz fillet is good, hand cut by their in house butchers. Salmon fishcakes are filled with a generous amount of fish enriched by the spinach and dill butter sauce. Peanut butter cheesecake was very rich, the accompanying lemon sorbet so bitter they were odd plate mates. Ubiquitous sticky toffee pudding was good, if a little predictable. This is a reliable restaurant that won’t surprise you.
- High point: Reliable food and good service
- Low point: Not a place for adventurous foodies

The food was great risotto perfect and deserts were delicious and well presented, great atmosphere for a family event or a romantic evening. Will most definitely return.
Food pricey but worth every last penny.
