7.5/10

The restaurant is nicely decorated, and appears to have Michelin aspirations as there was a tiny stool for my handbag. I declined the bread, which meant I wasn’t brought an amuse bouche. The croquettes as a starter were lovely but tiny, I could have had 4 rather than 2. The pork cheek was delicious as was the purée but totally unbalanced in terms of size. Luckily I ordered red peppers to balance the lack of vegetables. Pear tarte tatin was disappointing. There was no char or stickiness on the pears, and the pastry was a soggy mess with no crunch or flaky layers.
