Another place which does great beer on Burton Road! Huzzah!…read more I've been to Volta a couple of times now, once to check it out and have a drink, and once for a meal with the in-laws. They have a wide range of ales - three on cask (I believe) and a number of keg offerings, from continental lager to lovely hoppy pales. The decor is relaxed, vintage and classic, reminding me of a small underground continental bar. Their food menu is wonderful, lots of various nibbles/'small plates' and cheese boards to share. A special mention has to go to their pork belly, which was absolutely divine, and perfect to share so it doesn't become too overwhelming. The star of the show for me, though, was the hanger steak, which I had cooked rare. Insanely flavoursome and tender, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was the best steak I've tried so far. My partner was a bit less impressed with his dexter steak, and both he and the father-in-law said that they wanted to come back again so they could get the hanger steak themselves. The staff are attentive, personable, and very knowledgeable about what they're serving. There's no reason for me not to give it full marks, so well done Volta! I think it's a marvellous addition to Burton Road, and judging by how busy it seems to be all the time, so do my neighbours.

The first time I tried to eat at Volta it was too busy to get a table but the staff ignored me for…read moreages, so didn't realise and had chosen half the menu, which looked great. I was therefore keen to go back but this time the changed menu wasn't nearly so packed with choices and we struggled a bit to select enough between the two of us. The padron peppers were nice, nice to see those outside Madrid. The chorizo was just fried chorizo. The monkfish goujons were quite good but the prawns my friend disliked and distrusted because of their fishy smell - I also didn't think they were that great. We loved the halloumi and fig though, and sweet potato fries were good although in a foodie place like this I would have expected maybe a more interesting dip. The lamb shawarma came with a super spicy harissa - always pleasing when heat is not compromised, but ultimately I think I could get as good in any Middle Eastern restaurant. It was a very sunny evening and the windows were wide open which would have been great to sit beside had it not been for the terrace full of people smoking right beside the window - unfortunately that gives me a headache after a while so I would advise to sit at the rear of the restaurant if it's a warm day if you have the same problem. Which is too bad as it effectively deprives you of the best window/terrace seats in favour of people who don't even have working taste buds. Cocktails I thought were lacklustre and expensive relative to the quality/price ratio of NQ offerings. We had a nice bottle of prosecco. I'd go back if the menu changes back to something I find more appealing, otherwise I wouldn't pay that much again for a fairly average dinner.

Yes yes I know, another 4 star review from Matt *eye's roll* but truth be told, Erico's is another…read more4 star place! It's a really nice place and the food is good - I had Tagliatelle Della Casa which in their words is ribbon pasta cooked with chicken, ham and peas in tomato cream sauce - all I know is it was very tasty. If I'm being picky there could have been a higher chicken to pasta ratio but none the less a great dish. I came with my family for my brothers birthday and each enjoyed their dish; my dad had Linguine Con Gamberoni - prawns and scallops with linguine, my mum a Risotto and the little brother a pizza - everything spot on! In a decent spot for a date night, a family me as I did, or somewhere to grab a quick meal before a night out as there are several nice pubs nearby. It's not setting the world alight, but with an extensive menu, competitive prices and good quality food, Ericos is a solid bet.

Came here with bf's mother on Mother's Day and it was relatively quiet in the large and pleasant…read moreinterior although we were quite early. Service was attentive and efficient throughout. I didn't think the food was amazing and the large menu includes some random dishes e.g. Mexican that make it pretty obvious they are not trying to be an authentic trattoria etc. Nevertheless, the garlic bread with tomato was fine and although I didn't like the slight sour sauce on our prawns very much, they were at least good-sized ones. Overall though, that starter is not good value at over £7 for 4 prawns. For my main I got cannelloni which wasn't greatly above supermarket ready meal standard but you can't go too wrong with meat, melted cheese and tomato. My bf's mum had ravioli which was served on a massive plate covered in orange sauce - I thought it looked like it had way too much sauce and also the colour was weird. However, she ate it all so it can't have been that bad! Boyfriend's pizza looked ok but due to his hangover he didn't even get through half!

The Brasserie on Portland is located in the Princess on Portland Hotel (now there's a tongue…read moretwister for you) on you guessed it, Portland Street. It's not ordinarily a restaurant you'd think about going to but I heard that the food was excellent and that on the weekends it's a great spot as it doesn't get overcrowded. I like the grandeur of the old cotton warehouse that this hotel is located at, and despite being part of the Best Western chain it has maintained charm and elegance. The restaurant itself is very understated and stylish and the well trained staff are very amenable and accommodating indeed. The set menu for £14.95 is worthwhile investment in my opinion with simple classics or soups, salads, salmon and even wild boar being made to a very high standard. There could be more atmosphere in here but the service and the relaxing environment certainly make up for it.
