I’d heard a few good things about this new restaurant from some
\nwork colleagues so I thought I’d try it for myself. I took my parents
\nthere for dinner, it had been a while since I last saw them and my boss
\nsaid it had a very ambient atmospehere, perfect for a pleasant catch up
\nwith the folks.<\/p>\n

We went on a Wednesday night in September and although it was surprisingly
\nbusy, we were seated immediately by friendly staff. The first thing that
\nstruck us as we sat down was the wonderful view of the Royal Victoria Dock
\nas well as the 02 Dome and Canary Wharf.<\/strong> Before even ordering our food we
\nfelt settled and comfortable; the dining area was busy but not overly
\ncrowded, we enjoyed the atmosphere and could hear each other talk.<\/p>\n

The menu was impressive. A nice, original selection of meat, seafood and
\nvegetarian dishes were available for both starter and main. Being big
\ndesert fans, we skipped the starters even though a number of them
\nappealed, particularly the marinated sea bass and guacamole and the
\nsauteed chicken livers with roast figs. I ordered the scallop, cod and
\nprawn fish pie(\u00a313.50) whilst my parents ordered a tuna ratatouille (\u00a314)
\nand a calf’s liver with mash (\u00a312). The portions were abolutely spot-on,
\nwe felt satisfied but certainly had room left for desert. My mother, a
\ngreat cook in her own right, deemed the ingredients very fresh and of good
\nquality though this should really be expected. The waiting time was ok
\nbut I’m always happy to wait a bit longer if it is obvious due care and
\nattention has been given to the meal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were all looking forward to our deserts and weren’t disappointed when
\nthey arrived. We ordered three apple & blackcurrent crumbles(\u00a35.50), each
\nserved with a generous helping of freshly made custard and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

The bill came to just less than \u00a380 including drinks and service charge
\nwhich, whilst not affordable on a regular basis, felt was fairly
\nreasonable for the quality of our food and good service. <\/strong> We had a great
\nevening and it was all the better for the style and atmosphere of the
\nrestaurant. We left well fed and watered; this is definately a great
\nplace to come for all sorts of occasions and I will certainly be returning
\nin the future.<\/p>\n
