Michelin Guide
solid seafood execution and a wine program that actually knows what it's doing—the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about being fine dining.
Harry HungryHarry's headline verdict, 0–100. How good the place actually is, once the loud reviews and the timid critics have cancelled each other out.
Worth ItWorth-It Score, 0–100. Whether the bill is fair for what lands on the table. High means good value; low means you're paying for the postcode.
