Anthony's Restaurant

Alan (21 April 2008)

We ate there on a Saturday after booking a couple of months ahead. We arrived at 7pm and were surprised that the restaurant wasn't busy. However, the place filled up as the evening progressed. We opted for the £60 taster menu. Being served eight dishes meant that it was difficult to recall the details, but the staff printed a copy of the menu we'd had, which was helpful. Of all the dishes we ate, I think the pig's cheek with garlic squid was the most memorable although the smoked goose gave it a run for its money. The service was serious and professional. Dining there is expensive but you can see where the money is being spent - the cookery, ingredients and the linen and china. This place is a class act and I'm busily saving up for my next visit.

Not a place for celebration (17 April 2008)

We were very excited about trying this restaurant as it was my daughters twenty- first birthday, which we wanted to celebrate with close family members. The reception was pleasant - we were offered champagne, which tasted good and the waitress was lovely. We were unable to fault the attention, but once we went downstairs the atmosphere lacked warmth. The food was okay, nothing special, and pricey. We would have been seriously disappointed had we booked this for a bigger celebration.
