A close call between deciding to eat here or at one of the other eateries in Festival City. Belgravia won by a whisker & we are both so glad we made the correct choice. First impressions - decor is fresh, stylish, with a hint of ‘period’ style. The menu was very good & not as pricey as the name of the place suggested to me. The staff were excellent & very attentive. I chose their beef Stroganoff, a dish I had not tried in years and was keen to give a go again. The first few mouthfuls were very good - I was aware that it had obviously been cooked without the touch of alcohol in the recipe I had come to expect in the UK, but nonetheless, the pieces of meat were beautifully done, tender and tasty, the sauce rich and creamy; it ticked all the boxes. What genuinely surprised me was that, as I worked round the plate continuing to eat, it just got better and better. By the time I had finished I was experiencing that rare regret that it was all gone, mingled with the sure knowledge that I couldn’t comfortably have eaten any more.
My wife chose the prawn linguini - delicious large prawns, good portion size, creamy sauce. We just about managed a karak and a coffee after our respective meals and, with ‘the entertainer’ app, we received a delightfully affordable bill before staggering out of the place, well fed and replete. Would very highly recommend!
