A post theatre treat on our 23rd wedding anniversary
Shared the tuna tartare with guacamole and tacos starter, exquisite taste and texture, subtly spicy and smooth with a cucumber crunch and mini chunks of tuna and avocado ... downside ... 2 demi tacos inadequate in every way, please give us at least 4 and you have the perfect dish without compromising the style.
For mains my wife had the sea bream and chose to have it off the bone whilst I opted for the tiger prawn and monkfish tikka massala ... i know! Difficult to explain with so much amazing fish to choose from but I had to listen to my heart and it was asking me to try the tikka if i want to know how good a fish tikka can be.
I added burnt honey carrots and parmesan fried courgettes with tomato chutney for good measure
First to touch my lips the saffron rice is like no rice I have ever let pass my lips.

The sea bream was perfectly cooked.
No sides accompanied either dish and the ones chosen therefore struggled to compliment either dish. The carrots were one to avoid, not at all what you'd expect other than 'carrot hard', whilst the courgettes were well cooked inside the crust fitted like an oversized winter coat over a summer dress ... i just don't think it worked.


An anniversary treat that wouldn't become a regular haunt despite the awesome looking menu for pescatarians
