Comments: 

- Mushroom soup starter was good but chicken main was dry, very disappointing. Presentation looked good though.

- Pork steak was very tasty. Looking forward to desert - milk tarty stewed fruit thingy.

- Lovely mushroom soup starter. Beef fillet excellent. Looking forward to deep fried ice cream. Busy place. Good service. Waitress very knowledgeable & friendly.

- I once saw a man walking down a busy road, pole over the shoulder suspending a cloth  bag at the end. A man like this has very little appreciation of the nuances of gastronomy, one would assume. But as we know, assumption is not a preferred science, experience counts for much more. Hence, my experience more than my opinion is what I express. Food and wine, as opposed to revenge is best served warm to hot as company maketh the meal. Today that is what coloured the gastronomic experience, both from the waitress and the group.As for my duck, it certainly passed muster, being tender and moist within, while crisp without. Accompanied by an excellent 2011 shiraz, emblazoned with awards, how could I say any more than excellent?

- Chicken dish was incredible and very tasty - I need to come back!

- Dessert was delicious. Wine superb! The duck was crisp and tender.

- Creme brulee delicious.
