    Always a wonderful experience. Food of high quality although one could argue a little on the high end price wise for the main courses….even when sharing. That said, when the restaurant is full it is a testament to the quality. Vibrant atmosphere although perhaps a tad loud when sitting directly under the speakers. Menu / wine list always offers something slightly different to the norm allowing it to stand out from the crowd. Lovely evening.

    Got to try the new menu by the new Head Chef Sam - I saw a preview and booked ASAP 🥳 Suckling pig taco tasted more delicate than normal pork BUT the pork was in a cube with perfect guacamole on a hard taco..........defying expectations on aesthetics! The lamb was a knockout in flavour - deep, rich - with the courgette & mint salads making the dish look even more vibrant 🤤 Here, the Chef pours the jus/gravy in the centre of the plate 😎 The banana soufflé with miso caramel + run & raisin ice cream also superb! They pour over the caramel & drop in the ice cream for you which I would rather do myself BUT having tasted the miso caramel by itself, it's better mixed in. The salt/umami alone is a bit overpowering. Max also gave me a solid red wine recommendation (the French Pinot Noir) that I was already leaning towards but a small taste of the Chilean light red sealed the decision.........former wouldn't stand up to the lamb dish. Also, the fruity but dry worked with the dessert too!
