We had a sharing platter for two, which included three cuts of steak, duck and lamb, multiple sauces and two sides. The sides we chose, onion rings and chips in goose fat, were good. Unfortunately the meats were not special, outside of the lamb. The steaks, even the fillet, were difficult to cut and all tasted the same. Worse, I could not tell if the duck was lamb or beef at first, it had such a "meh" flavor. The sauces also did not add much, again the one exception the mint sauce for the lamb. Overall it was a huge (and impressive) portion of meet but nothing that tasty.

A very rich creamy sauce and the bread was drenched thus there was no textural contract making it sickly. Queenies...well queenies are queenies. Malaysian fish curry soup. Red curry with some tasty fish and a couple of shrimp. Again very heavy and creamy - no bread for contrast or a few noodles. Lastly beetroot over a creamy something piped with pesto around the side. The beetroot was overpowered by the creamy stuff. Again no bread to spread it on or anything to draw contrast - a parmesan crisp might have worked. I asked for more bread or crackers to mop up all these soupy things. Half a very small slice of "artisanal" bread was brought for which they charged me a squid fifty. Its a small cafe, very nice with a great view and some great ideas but 6 hours later my tummy is still reeling from those sauces. A lime and mint drink (soda chanh ) was delicious but beware two thirds of the glass was ice leaving a few inches for liquid. Fifty Five pounds, not bad but no need to go back.

I found it a little sweet but it did all the basic well and is probably the best onion soup on the island. My main was a special of the day and definitely the highlight, dover sole grilled in butter and garlic. They had offered to prepare it however I liked but the waitress suggested it in this manner and I loved it. The fish was very tasty and the butter and garlic were great. Had creamed spinach with it that was also very good. For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse. Nice strong flavour and relatively light dessert after three courses. They also had a good, reasonably priced wine list. Finally, found the service quite friendly and French without the bad parts of French.

Think about it. It's the 27th of June, i.e. mid summer and in a packed restaurant everyone is eating piping hot soup even as sweat beads are building up on their foreheads. The right amount of cheese to soup ratio. Cheese and onion perfection. We also shared some garlic snails and they were good. I only wish there were more of them! For the main we had the chateaubriand (the tenderloin fillet) and it was good. It was originally served rare when we ordered medium rare but this was quickly corrected. The staff were very attentive and service was good. The chateaubriand came with sides of mushrooms, fires or potatoes, veg and onion rings. We decided to instead order sides from the menu and got creamed spinach ( very good and you should order this! my wife raved about this.) fries ( crispy and salty as they should be) tomato salad ( It was ok but nothing to rave about) mushrooms ( again, ok but not something to go crazy about) and baby potatoes. (surprisingly they didn't charge us extra for changing our sides. Very impressed with this as I expected and was prepared to pay for this.) We wanted to have dessert however I was too stuffed! I will come back again for the soup and to try the creme brûlée. The wine list was also very good. We had the pinot noir and it was nice and generally we felt that the wine was priced very reasonably. Downside is the layout of the restaurant. Its very tight and you should try to get a window if you can ( i asked for this with the reservation but did't get this even though I was promised it.) My wife could barely avoid the guys ass next to us when she stood up! Thank goodness he wasn't one of those silent farters you get on airplanes! The tables are also too low and not wide enough. If you are above 4 foot in height and more than 150 lbs then you need to be aware that this restaurant is not built for seating comfort. Still, will I be back? You bet I will. The food is a 5. Good atmosphere and staff. Just a shame about the seating / table and it being too tightly packed. I will be back for the creme brûlée. It is calling me!

One of the best, if not the best, restaurant on the island. Started with a Blue Cheese Souffle ( a…read morespecial that day) and it was great. For a main course, I went with another special, a seafood medley. It included wonderful fish, manx scallops (also perfectly cooked) and tempura lobster. The lobster was my favorite, as you could still get the full flavor of the lobster and the tempura added to it rather than just make it feel like it came from a chip shop. Very hard to do classy, AAA, fried food but they pulled it off. The wine list also a big plus, nice selection at quite reasonable prices. Service was stellar, very good pacing between courses and professional without being stuffy. Again, one of my favorite dining experiences on the island (and would be very good almost anywhere).

Basically just one big room with a kitchen out the back, we ordered from their fish heavy menu with me really enjoying the scallop and lobster fritter to start off with. I found the rack of lamb to finish fairly enjoyable but nothing too ground breaking. Even though I was lucky I wasn't paying (thanks Dad) I did find it a bit overpriced at being £37.50 for 2 courses and £45 for 3. At these prices I'd be expecting something a bit more wow-filled as opposed to decent homestyle cooked food. I also thought the beer selection could do with some work, just rubbish generic lagers and one bushy's ale served warm...plus the wine by the glass menu was pretty limited. No pinot noir... Overall a nice night and enjoyable, very friendly waitress.

We were put in the very rear by the back door, which, when opened, occasionally required us to get up from our seats to let someone in. My pasta was great, the garlic soup was AMAZING (I've never heard of a creamy garlic soup with pesto drizzle before but now I pretty much wake up dreaming about it), and my boyfriend loved his personal pizza. The lattes we got for desert were too huge and watery. Had difficulty finishing them, and they weren't very good. The only thing that has room for improvement, though. The customer service was great (a well-spoken foreign exchange high school student was our waitress), and Leonardo himself initially took our order and stayed a while by our table, talking boisterously and cracking jokes. He was an amusing character. We wanted to come back once more, but time did not permit us to.
