"Lovely tranquil decor with comfortable lighting and good acoustics. A suitable spot for bringing a date. It can be a bit warm in the back at the restaurant because the wood burning pizza oven has an open fire. The toilets were quite beautiful. Service was nice and discreet. Exceptional value for money. Portions were very large, and the pleasant house wine was only £14.00 per bottle. Cooking could be a little uneven. My starter was a rocket salad with grilled vegetable and mozarella. It was dressed with good homemade pesto and served with oil and balsamic vinegar on the side. Grilled veg consisted of aubergine, courgette and red peppers. The peppers weren't peeled, but that detail didn't detract from the dish at all. My companion's garlic mushrooms were a little bland. Oven baked button mushrooms flavored with garlic and butter. A sprinkle of thyme or oregano or chive and a wedge of lemon would have improved the dish. Also a dusting of parsley would have helped its looks. I had the mixed grilled fish which was extravagant at £21.95. However, it turned out to be fantastic value given the ingredients used. There were three large scallops with corals attached, a langoustine tail, several peeled tiger prawns, squid, clams and mussels as well as salmon and sea bream. My prawns were overcooked but all the other elements, including the squid, were fine. This came with sauteed snow peas and carrots and really good sauteed potato. My companion had the more homely dish of meatballs in tomato sauce with mashed potato. Really great simple mash, that tasted primarily of potato. I find restaurant mash to be often far too rich. Nice fresh tomato sauce spiked with peas and tasting mostly of passata. Meatballs were tasty, if a little dense in texture. We were too full to try dessert. There was no embarrassment about packing up leftovers in a takeaway box. We plan to return to sample the pizza's and pastas. The portions that passed our table looked enormous so we will probably order two salads and share a pizza or pasta."
