Anna-Loka

My husband and I had the tasting menu with matched Icon wines - it was splendid. The stand-out dish for me was the salt marsh lamb with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, pea puree and a jus. Every mouthful was just stunning. It&#39;s not the cheapest restaurant but I believe the quality of the food justified the price. I would recommend this place for those who love good food. The reason for not giving a 5 star rating is that I reserve those for only the most outstanding places and although the food was outstanding, the whole experience wasn&#39;t. The decor of the restaurant needs serious updating. It&#39;s like an old gentleman&#39;s club but it&#39;s tired, not just old fashioned. The glasses needed an extra polish - in fact one was not really clean and another had water spots on it. I know that&#39;s being picky, but to me those finer points are important when you are spending 300 quid for dinner for two. The maitre d&#39; is probably not to everyone&#39;s taste - occasionally almost verging on rude but quite funny. He seemed as if he was reeling off a learnt script with the course descriptions, however, rather than genuinely understanding what he was saying. The same too of the sommelier who is very young - pleasant but perhaps without that air of authority you would expect. Having said that, it was a wonderful *food* experience and I cannot fault them on the food itself - delightful, well-presented, with just the right amount. I will remember the evening - and for the right reasons: the food.
