Prebook in advance to avoid disappointment!…read more I booked this for our anniversary meal. Despite turning up on time we had to queue outside for at least 25 minutes with several others waiting for people to finish their meals. Once inside the waiter was super apologetic, and you could tell he needed a drink himself. The restaurant was very cosy with interesting pieces of art on the walls. A nice very traditional feel about the place. Anyway the starters consisted of various seafood and meat dishes to which you can size up as a main on average pricing of £7 to £15. I had the pork cheeks and himself the clam spaghetti. While we waited we were presented with canapés consisting of cheese and carmalised onions..the other truffle oil on crackers. These were a very tasty treat. The spaghetti was well made and the sauce light smothering the tiny clams. My pork cheek was super tender, and it lay perched on perfect mash, panchetta, black pudding, pickled onions in a tomato broth. Various bits of bread was also served to mop up this juice. Only criticism clam meat is sooo small in this country so not worth the battle against the shells for such a tiny reward. For mains I had the seafood special which was a bowl filled with mussels, clams, scallop, king prawns and longuistines swimming in a broth and fresh pasta. This was super tasty, cooked to perfection and presented nicely. My only gripe was I only had one at most two scallops. My other half chose the lamb which again was super tender, in a homely bed of mash, sauce and root vegetables. Super simple dish but everything was cooked perfectly. I was feeling quite full but the orange panacotta with orange sorbet was too tasty to miss. It didn't disappoint. Overall despite the disappointing beginning the service was impeccable and food really tasty. However I did expect a bit more in terms of creativity considering this was a Michelin star restaurant. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy your seafood especially.

A newish restaurant in Keswick, the decor is modern, tasteful and minimal. The menu is small but very varied. In our opinion, the menu does not do the food justice as we were a little disappointed at what was offered. Our disappoint was short lived - homemade pate was excellent and a superb relish to accompany, very tasty moules and an excellent soup with good balanced flavours. The roast lamb was cooked just right with an interesting sauce/gravy. Salmon, again was cooked to perfection with an interesting twist of citrussy tart dressing that partnered well. Desserts were excellent. All the food was very tasty, just-right portions and served hot. Any niggles? Yes a few, -don't sit next to the cupboard (utility meters) since its VERY draughty! Same Lionel Richie CD 3 times over is a bit dull. Espresso needs working on - cups not warmed and very weak, I suspect grind too coarse and not tamped enough. Little things but they make a good eating out experience into an excellent one.

However. just before that on Station Road is A Different Taste and one look at the menu told us enough this was GOOD. So, in we went, were met by the Chef and owner, Debra Brown. What a lovely lady! The menu is extensive enough to be interesting, yet not in any way overstretched. We ordered a bottle of Viognier, which was delicious; sweet start and a dry, peary finish. Julie ordered the Different Taste Chicken Special while I opted for loin of cod in a saffron sauce, which was very fine indeed. Julie's chicken was brilliantly balanced with tarragon; moist, succulent and moreish. My piece of cod passed all understanding. Delicious, perfectly cooked, seasoned and served. I don't normally do dessert, but this time well, the poached pears in saffron and lime were sublime! I really can't say enough good stuff here. We weren't expecting a meal of this quality in what is, essentially, a tourist town. But this exceeded all our expectations. So much so that we have rebooked for Thursday. A lovely experience, managed with grace, style humour and lovely food by Debra, Emma her daughter and all the staff, who all went the extra mile to make all the customers happy. Thank you one and all. See you Thursday, Nigel and Julie Bourne
