"Everything got an enthusiastic thumbs up, but the special I chose for my main course - a chicken and langoustine combination doused in plenty of spices - was less impressive. It wasn't bad, exactly, just a bit overcomplicated. I should probably have had the Dover sole." READ REVIEW

"You too, dear reader, could have done better at home, and you too would have been as embarrassed as we were." READ REVIEW
"Corrigan, himself a chef here a dozen years ago, has done a fine job reviving this fusty old relic, and if the upstairs grill seems sedate, that's doubtless intentional." READ REVIEW

"A Dover sole, with a chunky tartare sauce, was perfectly trimmed and separated effortlessly from the bone." READ REVIEW
"Main courses, when they eventually arrived, weren't completely hot. The fish dishes, though, were worth the wait. Dover sole, neatly trimmed on the bone and slick with buttery sauce meunière, was a reminder of how great this king of fish can be, while a cross-section of wild seabass also delivered more taste than the average fillet."

"The very good far outweighs the not so good, and things will probably even get better, especially if Corrigan keeps up his presence, and chef Brendan Farlyn keeps a certain grilled fish on the menu." READ REVIEW
