Diamond in the rough

Amidst a lot of other adequate restaurants, I have to say that on the off chance I visited here and it was not regrettable. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the decor was very nice and presentable along with the staff there.For my starter, I sampled the stone-baked Garlic Bread & Funghi Alla Aglio which was very well presented and correctly cooked; the former being cooked to the point that the flavor was well kept but soft, and the mushrooms retaining their soft yet crunchy exterior and prominent garlic flavor.For the main course, the Fillet Oorton Blue was very well-presented; minimalistically placed in the center of the plate and very adequately sauced, garnished and seasoned lightly, providing an excellent culmination of flavours for any palate.The final dish, a specially-made Crepes Suzette was simply as it was expected - very well presented and simple - no flourishes and exceptional ingredients made the dish stand out from others I have tasted, and dare say - attempted to make.Overall, I would say that aside from the odd minor error in the food, the menu was very adequately made and the food, for the prices offered was of good value. The staff were very friendly and contributed to the atmosphere and I will be going back there with friends very shortly.Definitely one of the best in the area, and a good place to go with family or friends on a night out.
