We arrived way to early but were welcomed in and seated very quickly considering how early we were. The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly and the service fast. More

Food is excellent except for Beef teriaki. (Much too dry). The atmosphere: Much too noisy. Everybody is shouting over the too loud music. I would recommend to friends but warn them for the loudness. The service is oustanding as well as the interior. The food is overall excellent. More

Lionel is a personality! Booked again on spec yesterday, and arrived at the somewhat confusing uni campus but found my way with good signposting. I last visited this building 30 years ago for a training conference, wow has it changed. Walking through the building signage to the restaurant could have been a little bigger. The restaurant itself is partly a training environment for students, and my traineee was very sweet if a tiny bit quiet. The menu is separate from the main menu and is Lionels own creation reflecting his past. The waiter had a few gaps in his knowledge (trainer not trainee) but he was very good obtaining the info. The amuse bouche was a delicious mushroom aranchini. Starter was a smoked chicken and ham hock terrine. Quite chunky but very nice, could have done with a bit more dressing as the toast was Melba like so all a bit dry. Then came a palate cleanser of a lemon sorbet with lime vodka. Very nice bit moreish. The main was a whole trout, I love trout but couldn’t remember why I hadn’t had it in ages, then it arrived and wow lots of filleting to do. No choking so bonus there. The fish was gorgeous the butter sauce just buttery. The potatoes were odd, tiny bullet shaped and crunchy, quite odd by nice. Then came a strawberry cocktail as a pre dessert. The dessert itself were profiteroles, well made nicely creamed but a cold sauce would have been a little nicer with heated sauce. Overall a lovely experience and venue lots of bonuses to the experience and a good feeling that you are involved in training. Lionel does like to check up n you to see that you are enjoying the meal.
