Gingernut (28 August 2011)

We ate there on Thursday 25th August 2011. I can only say it was a mixed experience. The starter of salmon fishcake was nice enough, though too salty, and I speak as a man who loves salt. the hollandaise sauce accompanying it was the real deal and no complaints there.

The risotto with mushrooms and parmesan was edible, but whatever it was, it was not a risotto. The rice was dry and separate, more like a pilaff, and there were but a few token slices of supermarket mushrooms and a hint of parmesan. Given the cheapness of the raw ingredients, the serving was stingy, not that i would have wanted more of what was a travesty of risotto. Fellow diners were generally satisfied - chips were tasty and probably fried in dripping as they should be, salmon was not overcooked, though the steak was not rare as requested. Waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. I would summarise the experience as no more than (just) acceptable and I would not eat there again.

I went to Bradley’s last night and as usual the experience was very good. Andrew, the proprietor/maitre de is very attentive and the food was great as was the service, and indeed the bill. This is one of the few restaurants I eat that gets it right every time and I never feel that I have been stiffed.
