Start
with
the
bad
news:
1.
Table
was
super
shakey,
like
it
was
placed
right
on
a
fault
line,
but
San
Diego
this
ain't
so
shakey
table
a
little
disconcerting.
2.
A
very
contemporary
approach
to
the
'classic'
creme
brulee.
A
classic
brulee
should
have
some
decent
height
(to
really
SINK
your
spoon
into)
and
a
super
crisp
CRACK
on
top.
Call
me
picky
but
crack
this
did
not.
A
super
thin
layer
of
caramelised
sugar
(colloquially
known
as
the
crack-head)
meant
there
was
no
SNAP
and
therefore
no
theatre
to
this
dessert.
Call
me
a
thespian
but
I
love
me
some
theatre.
A
creme
brulee
should
be
a
first
class
dessert.
Deep,
creamy,
velvety
and
silky
smooth.
This
dessert
had
no
leg
room,
and
a
crying
baby
on
board
-
a
truly
economy
class
dessert.
Flavours
were
good.
Cold
dessert
was
served
on
a
warmed
plate.
Weird.
Positives:
all
the
entrees
were
great.
Standout
was
the
crumbed
camembert.
My
goodness.
All
mains
were
good.
Quality
is
best
described
as
better
than
a
good
pub
but
just
below
a
good
restaurant.
The
spring
rolls
were
truly
enormous.
Enormous.
As
a
starter
these
were
more
than
I
can
handle,
though
perhaps
this
is
my
own
fault
having
had
a
late
Sunday
lunch.
Steaks
were
all
good.
Not
great
but
good.
The
calamari
is
delicious
and
not
to
be
overlooked.
Not
oft
am
I
inclined
to
order
seafood
in
a
town
so
far
from
the
coast
-
freshness
is
key
-
but
this
was
truly
a
delight
to
consume.
Perfectly
cooked
and
with
just
the
right
seasoning
made
for
an
all-round
pleasant
mouthful.
Chips
are
great.
Too
many
places
try
to
make
chips
fancy.
These
were
simple
but
done
well
-
a
valuable
lesson
to
be
learned
here.
Other
pubs
take
note.
Roast
pumpkin
pine
nut
salad
with
added
chicken
was
good.
Chicken
was
SUCCULENT.
Generous
portioning,
perhaps
TOO
generous.
Sundried
tomatoes
seemed
redundant,
they
didn't
add
anything
to
the
dish.
If
you're
looking
for
a
light
salad,
this
might'nt
be
for
you.
It's
good
value
but
quite
heavy
going.
Service
was
good.
nothing
beyond
what
you'd
expect,
save
for
one
waiter
who
had
excellent
volume
when
bringing
dishes
out
-
props
to
him.
Nothing
worse
than
not
being
able
to
hear
when
they're
trying
to
match
a
plate
to
a
name.
Separate
queues
for
food
and
drinks
was
unclear
and
a
little
confusing.
Might
be
worth
signing
this?
Overall,
negatives
are
really
just
minor
points
so
4
stars
definitely
deserved.
