We choose the Xmas menu which was nice and simple. Salmon roulade and 3 sardine balls to start, followed by Sea Bream and Halibut. Whilst each dish was very small, covering only the centre of a small standard plate they were cooked properly and very tasty. That said, I did feel that at the end of a £150 meal I should not need to supplement it with fast food to ensure complete satisfaction.
