5* place and people We had the best evening for our group reunion and birthday celebrations! Some of us arrived early and were able to enjoy the beautiful restaurant with some cocktails. We were warmly welcomed by Itesh (apologies for the spelling). He was very attentive and a wonderful host.
Food We tried quite a lot of the menu between us. We met chef Osman at the start of the evening. Some starters included, homemade bread served with olive oil and balsamic, olives, haddock and Leek fishcakes, scallops and crispy chorizo and jumbo shrimp. My personal favourites were the scallops and shrimp. Cooked to perfection. The jumbo shrimp was served in a garlic, lemon, and chilli butter, which was so moreish.
For mains, we had a selection of steaks. The T Bone steak was the most magnificent steak I have seen. It was cooked beautifully and served with a very tasty green peppercorn sauce. I got to try some, and it was gorgeous.
I had the pan-fried corn fed chicken supreme, which was so tender. It was cooked in a creamy, parmesan sauce, served with spinach and mashed potato. It was delicious. I would definitely have it again.
The lovely staff did a birthday surprise at the end of our meal, which was really appreciated. It was a rather yummy cheesecake and a sweet chorus of 'Happy Birthday to you'.
Our cost per person was higher than average due to the drinks and us wanting to try so many starters. Otherwise, I would expect to spend £30-£40/per person on a normal day. You can also get the set menu through the week, so you would get 2 courses for £19 or 3 for £23 (see the website for times which vary). We there Friday evening which it doesn't apply to.
Most importantly, the toilets are very clean.
Ultimately, this is a top quality restaurant with the most charming staff. We were treated delightfully from the moment we arrived to when we left (which was about 5+ hours).
We would be happy to return in the future and will consider it for any...
Read moreFirst time writing a review but had to for Flame & Fire.
A few reasons why they are a must visit for at least locals and anyone wanting top quality food and service:
Good communication and children welcome: Initially wasn't sure if children were allowed but emailed in advance and got a quick response that they were. A high chair was available and colouring pens too on arrival!
Superb hospitality: Frances definitely looked after us and our 2YO making sure they were happy. It was one of our birthday's and they made sure there was a candle to blow out. Thank you Frances!
Amazing food: We ordered the calamari to start, then salmon steak, wagyu sirloin and mac+cheese bites for the little one from the kids menu. Creme brulee and brownie+ice cream for dessert. Amaretto sours to drink (2 for 15 during happy hour). Honestly, we have not see our kid eat as much (they had already had tea earlier), which must have meant that the food was good! The salmon steak was tasty and the wagyu cooked perfectly with a peppercorn sauce that matched. We agreed that it was easily top 5 in quality of food from places we've dined at, matching/surpassing Michelin stars.
Chilled atmosphere: We went on a Wednesday which was fairly quiet but was perfect as it was chilled in a spot that is well designed+decorated. We recommend to visit on a Monday-Wednesday to take advantage of this, Wednesdays is steak night (free bottle of wine with a sharing steak but we opted not get a sharing one).
True value: You definitely get the attentiveness of service and quality of food that you pay for (which is not often said in London). We were pleasantly surprised by the portion size of the salmon with mash and spinach and it was an effort (in a good way) to finish for one.
Overall, as others have mentioned, somewhere that we will definitely be visiting many more times and we encourage everyone else...
