The Olive Branch

I went for a dinner menu. I ordered a shredded duck with fruit which was a bizzar combination with dry duck meat. The salt and pepper squid was so rubbery that it was hard to cut it with the knife. Ravioli with nduja was quite nice although the sauce was very thick. The main dish i had was curry with roasted aubergine - the rice tasted like it was microwaved, aubergine was very bitter and the curry had no actual taste and it was again very heavy.

This delightful bistro is just wonderful. The staff were friendly and professional. We were led to a cosy table for two, tucked away at the back and brought water while we perused the menu. Ordered drinks which arrived very quickly then our beautiful main courses arrived. We both had the venison, which was perfectly cooked. The accompanying dauphinoise potato , celeriac puree and tenderstem broccoli was delicious. We also ordered dessert (wow! That cheesecake!) And cocktails which were lovely. Couldn't fault the food or the service. Left feeling satisfied and charmed. Our only regret is that we live 4 hours away and can't visit again soon!

We were shoehorned into a cramped corner. The venison was so tough that eating it was traumatic. I also don't know how you're expected to cut it with a table knife. The curry is fine but unremarkable, easily reproduced at home. Desert was pretty good. Service was good (excellent female server). In short, their food falls short of the mark and they've got greedy with their use of space.
