A good evening
Good cooking and a fair bill. The room was loud by nine, which is our only complaint.

Faultless from start to finish
Booked for eight and seated at eight. The portions were generous and the bill was what the menu said. Andrea came out of the kitchen at the end to ask how it was.
Ordered: Eel pie with a suet crust
