La Grillade - Crows Nest

Accogliente piccolo ristorante francese sul lato tranquillo di Crowie. Il servizio del tavolo era brillante, allegro e informativo. . Non ho lasciato questo ristorante sentendo come se fossi stato in un ristorante francese. Sembrava un ristorante francese di imitazione dove avevano fatto del loro meglio per impersonare la cucina francese. Non era male, ma non è un posto che tornerò in fretta. .

Got a groupon deal for entree, main, dessert & 1 portion of wine per person. Entrees: Escargot (beautiful big decorative shells (which waitress told me I can't take home as they reuse them!)) but snails tasted a bit bland. Duck liver pate, very classy pate & presentation but the small hard as stone crispy bread slices & hard long cracker-like thingie you dip into it weren't that great. Mains: Coq au vin, some authentic classy ingredients & flavours but a little bit bland. Wagyu beef steak - one of the best steaks I have ever tried in my life - lovely to slice & literally melts in the mouth with very good sauce. Wines: The 1/3 of a wine glass portions of red & white wines were very good quality, pretty strong in alcohol content & a good match for the food, but the lukewarm red wine was a bit off & you could tell it wasn't freshly opened, maybe they opened the bottle a few days ago. Dessert: The coconut & mango jelly in a cup could have had a bit stronger flavour. The chocolate mousse was OK but not outstanding. The waitress was respectful, friendly & attentive so we left a tip. The atmosphere here has a nice quaint old vibe, classy & charming.  The food I give a 3.5/5 as they could tweak it to have stronger flavours, but the overall experience created by the owners/management/staff brings it up to a classy rating of 4.

Molto sottovolto - avevamo un voucher scoopon così posso capire che il menu è un po 'limitato, ma tutto era piuttosto blando. Avrei pensato che avrebbero provato ad impressionare per farti tornare - certamente non era niente da scrivere a casa, ero felice che non avevamo pagato! Abbastanza sicuro del vino che avevo era aperto troppo a lungo. Deludente

Cosy feel although even though they had the heat on, it still felt a bit cold as we were seated near the window Great foodGreat portions sizes.
