Two truly excellent meals at this new restaurant in the last 6 weeeks. Don't let the entrance put you off - you have to go through an upmarket mobile home park which is a bit odd but the restaurant is a very pleasant, modern style. Sofas to enjoy pre- and post- dinner drinks, plenty of space and a bright, well lit atmosphere. Did I mention the food is excellent? The chef really knows his stuff. Scallops done to perfection and very well executed duck confit last night. Menu choices are good and not too many of them. All of enjoyed everything. Was slightly let down by the service. The gaggle of staff at the bar (including managers!!) pretty much ignored us when we walked in until one came to their senses and offered us a seat and a drink. Nobody offered to take coats and nobody offered us a wine list (when we asked for it, it came quickly and the choice was good). There were two office party tables and a small disco (!!) at the other end of the restaurant but at least we were seated well away from this and I don't think this would be a regular Friday night feature.
Hope this place succeeds - it's quite a gem.
