The bottle of Australian Pinot Noir we purchased for 40ish Euro was young and didn't open much even after being open awhile. But we should have chosen differently. They offer tastes before purchase on wines available by the glass. It would be nice to see a few bolder options such as from California. Friendly staff, cozy and inviting environment. I would definitely return if in town.

We instantly felt part of the family, loved the local art on the walls, and enjoyed our choices: - Goat's Cheese and Caramelized-onion Bruchetta with Dressed Rocket, Pomegrante and Pine-nut - Mezze Plate with Homemade Flatbreads, Falafel, Hummus, Mint Yogurt, Basil Couscous and Pomegranate Salad Also not to miss is the desserts... We sat near the dessert display and everyone had a hard time deciding - it was quite entertaining! After much deliberation our daughter picked the Lemon Meringue Pie. We'll be back later so we can try one of the Brownies...

The space itself is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and a private room, which gives it that intimate, tucked‑away feel. I'd 100% go back. They offer two specialty cocktails and a wine list, and while the cocktail selection is limited, the wines are unique and fantastic -- definitely worth exploring. The food was outstanding across the board. The monkfish scampi isn't what you might picture, but it's fantastic -- super crispy and full of flavor. And you have to get the bread: tomato focaccia or brown bread, then topped with the fennel, thyme, and maple butter were all unforgettable. The bavette steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were truly out of this world. The sea trout was incredibly fresh; just a heads‑up that the gremolata is spread over the whole dish, so it ends up almost poached in olive oil -- worth noting for anyone sensitive to that, but the flavor itself was excellent. Definitely end the night with the affogato and the shortbread cookies (chef's kiss). Who doesn't like to dunk their dessert? Highly recommend, would absolutely come back.

So I waited in the (fast moving) queue inside Sherdans, looking over the crackers, cured meats, sauces, jams and the other treats before I was helped by a very pleasant young woman behind the counter. I provided my wants - a firm or hard cheese not from cow milk - and she instantly knew what was available. A sample of the first one and a sample of the second one, and I took a small wedge of each. Reasonably priced and wrapped properly. They lasted in the bag for about an hour or so until I shared them with my friend for a picnic in Eyre Square.
