A quaint looking building in its locale, so one we’ve always been drawn to, yet never frequented. Whilst dining out the weekend prior, we’d both discussed this restaurant, so I booked a table!
We were greeted welcomingly, and guided to our table. It’s a small, homely, beautifully presented interior dining area
The menu is extensive, and varied. The drinks offering is good, though the draught option is poor
Our order was taken after what felt like a little too long-a-wait, but as the menu is impressive, and the setting is cosy, it’s not something to be overly concerned about. As it happens, the wait meant we were ready to order Nibbles, Starter, Mains, and Drinks in one visit
Drinks were served promptly, and our Prawn Crackers arrived shortly thereafter - homemade and so tasty!
Our (shared) Starter arrived as we were finishing the Crackers, and its presentation impressed immediately. We had the fishcake. Unlike the British variation, this was pure fish (no potato). It was beautifully flavoured, and perfectly battered
The Mains were delivered to the table shortly after our Starter was cleared and more drinks delivered. They looked stunning! As it was our first visit to this Thai restaurant, we ordered dishes we’ve enjoyed previously elsewhere
Neither of us were disappointed. The food was perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes matched…and again with the presentation! Not Michelin standard, but not far behind
Booked online - 2 adults - Saturday early evening - Starter (shared); Mains; Drinks - February - Main Dining Area full by the time we left - Reasonably priced for...
Read moreBest dinner I've had in a long time.
A tiny little cosy, homely restaurant in the city centre. Despite being next to a Revs De Cuba it's quiet in there. The decor is lovely and the whole place has the feeling of being invited round to someone's house for dinner, which we loved.
The food was beyond good. We had a range of starters, chicken satay, prawns, wings, gyoza dumplings. Everything was delicious. The peanut dip was the best I've ever tasted. The mains were something else. My massaman curry was so creamy and full of flavour and the fried rice was so good. My wife's seabass curry was also delicious and our friends loved their food too. Even the prawn crackers we ordered were so tasty I considered ordering more to take home.
Presentation was amazing, every dish looked straight out of a fine dining restaurant, no corners cut or flourish spared. It looked as good as it tasted.
Throughout the night the service was also excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, our server was attentive, polite and friendly.
If you want to eat amazing, authentic Thai food at good prices and be made to feel like a VIP then Finale is the place to go. We'll be heading back soon and bringing friends to experience this gem of...
Read moreThis was on a Tuesday, for a 13 th wedding anniversary. Please do not go to this place, as it is not welcoming. The host was so unpleasant, curt and rude. The host was telling us off, when we asked to increase the brightness of the light, zero hospitality. I understand it was a romantic place where the lights are dimmed, it was so low that we could hardly read the menu. The place is very small, dingy, over crowded with tiny tables and dark. Difficult to spot the place. And the set menu is a rip off. Says £30 for a starter, main, and rice. Also says a max of two people can eat from it. We were shocked to see that they charged us twice, since it was 2 of us who shared the meal. The host then shows us a fine print that says, price per person. So why would you say that 2 people can eat from it. And was trying to justify that it would have worked out expensive if we ordered a la carte. Poor portions, there were literally 3 chicken wings on the starter plate and 4 gyozas. It's such a sham and a huge rip off. Half a star really. So much for a 13 th wedding anniversary....
