We have been to this restaurant before, when it first opened... The food was fantastic, though it was very dark and at times hard to see... We thought that we would go back again for Marks birthday and have another round of the degustation menu - awesome that they have a meat and vegetarian option... The slow roasted lamb the first time was the meat highlight of the year for me, unfortunately that wasnt being served this time...
The food was pretty good, not as great as the first time, but the lighting was better, and the service impeccable... Our waiter - Dan - was extremely helpful on the pregnancy front making sure that I could eat everything on the menu, and changing dishes accordingly...
Appetiser: Zucchini flowers with mint and ricotta in tempura batterA yummy start, I think that it was Marks favourite
Vegetarian 1st course - we both had this: bruschetta with a creamy cheese and broadbean mash and peasThis was divine!
Vegetarian Course 2: Minestrone

We only barely touched this, after 2.5 hours with the flu we were both ready to go, and full up on the prior yummy dishes...
