I have wanted to come here after various blogs I follow raved about the place I then found this great deal through dimmi for 50% off and I knew I had to go.
Luckily my friend was interested in joining me So off we went on a quiet Tuesday evening.
The restaurant can hold over 140 people seated.
This is a relatively new buisiness around 9 months old hence why they are not in the 2013 good Food Guide.
I can almost guarantee they will be in the 2014 guide.

Greeted nicely upon arrival I said I was waiting for a friend but I had a booking.
They showed me to my table which they then
presented me with a wine list that covered many pages which was in a leather bound folder.
Finally my friend walks in and finds where I'm sitting.
We were presented with menus each & found out that the bar food unfortunately was not part of the 50% off deal which was dissappointing as we were quite interested in ordering some dishes from there. Oh well there were some other great dishes we could order.
We both ordered a red wine the waiter recommended mine which we liked,mine especially though.

One of the reasons why I really liked this restaurant was
the fact that they don't use chilli,ginger,corriandar,lemon grass, thai basil all of which I heavily do my best to avoid.
It seems nowadays it can be quite difficult to order a dish without these flavours.(I'm talking about in a european restaurant not a chinese restaurant where you would expect these flavours to be in some dishes.

We ordered and shared
Some beautiful foie gras cigars which were on the bar menu but nonetheless we had to have them as they were recommended to me by someone and they just sound too good to pass up.
We also ordered the kingfish ceviche which was nice but i think it could have had more seasoning.
Quail and mushroom terrine was one of my two favourite dishes,absolutely divine dish.

wagyu bresaola,baffalo mozzarella,roasted figs,grissini was also a nice dish but I think the mozzerella could have had more flavour.
smoked steak tatare was pretty cool,tasty served in a jar that we had to open ourselves.
scallops & black pudding stuffed pigs trotters were oh so divine (my other favourite along with the terrine)

My friend also ordered the swiss cheese and macoroni croquettes, a special of beef cheeks.
I couldn't fit any more in so didn't try the beef cheeks.
But I did try 1 of the 5 croquettes and they were yummy.
I had to have dessert and wanted my friend to have one too so we could share but he was full so I ordered the salted caramel & banana sundae which I liked he tasted and didn't.

Overall I would recommend this restauraunt to any one who likes delicious european food,good wine,great service,decor
I will be back. There are many things I didn't get to try that I would have loved to.
(the whole menu pretty much)
