My husband and I treated ourselves to a three-course dinner yesterday evening and we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was despite a recent review I'd seen in the Guardian. We both had beef tartar to start which was prepared at our table exactly to our liking. I had the dover sole for main, which was a bit pricey but well worth it. My husband had the sirloin steak which was tasty and cooked medium to precision. Our desserts were a gloriously sticky ginger pudding with cinnamon ice cream and a selection of smelly British cheeses. Excellent food overall and the waiters were extremely attentive. For a Thursday night, the place was buzzing with a combination of hotel guests and business meetings so there was a bit of atmosphere but in general I think it's a relatively demure and grown-up setting. Would definitiely recommend it but beware of extortionate wine prices.
