I've been here twice, once with work for a leaving do and another with friends. The tapas is great for both mains or starters, I've also had the linguine that was really nice. The cocktails are very well made and no scimping on the booze.
I’ve had this place on my list for a while now. I took the opportunity to book it as a surprise meal for me and my wife 🥘
A stunning restaurant, with a great ambient atmosphere. We got a nice warm welcome and service was offered pretty quickly as opposed to having to wait around. It didn’t take long and the restaurant was ‘buzzing’, it filled up pretty quick which is always a good sign. The menu is very good with extensive options, including a tapas option. The drinks Menu is excellent, including non-alcoholic drinks and Mocktails.
We tried the scallops which we’d never tried before, definitely a hit! 👌🏽 This was whilst we waited for our main meal which we were told would be a 40min wait. (At least we knew it was getting cooked fresh). My wife had the steak and I had the Lamb. I’d never tried a lamb dish like this, a very different way of serving Lamb, a dish I enjoyed, but sadly wouldn’t order again. The gravy was far too thin / watery and the chef evidently likes to use the signature pea sauce. The chips with the peppercorn sauce along with the steak complimented each other well. A Beautiful combination.
There are many attractive options on the menu, so even if you’re picky there is something for everyone.
The dessert Menu has some great options too. Being a diabetic I didn’t want to risk it but definitely would have had the white chocolate pudding.
Sadly, right next to our table one of the customers passed out. The Restaurant staff were very accommodating and helpful. They didn’t make a fuss but assisted in getting some help for the young individual. The downside was staff put on the air-con to provide the customer with some cool air, which then meant the rest of the restaurant and food would be affected. (Go Cold 🥶)
All in all, a great experience, I can’t fault it. Beautiful Menu, great atmosphere, very good staff and definitely worth it. 💫
I had the opportunity to dine at The Dial for breakfast, and was impressed by the high-end atmosphere of the restaurant. The glassware and decor had a classic touch, and the servers were polite, well-groomed, and efficient at taking my order. The bar was well-stocked with a variety of spirits and mixers, and the cocktail menu offered both classic and modern choices. The bartenders were also willing to accommodate requests for drinks that were not on the menu or to create something tailored to the customer's preferences.
The food arrived hot and well-presented, with the exception of the toast, which was not hot enough to melt the butter. The full English breakfast was a standout dish, with perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful bacon, black pudding, and mushrooms. The beans were also nicely cooked, but the spinach and tomato could have benefited from additional seasoning. The hash browns tasted a bit generic, possibly due to being frozen, but overall the dish was still enjoyable.
Overall, I had a positive experience at The Dial, with excellent customer service and an attractive atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of menu options to accommodate different dietary needs, and the chefs maintain a professional appearance. While there were a few areas that could be improved upon, such as the seasoning of some of the items and the temperature of the toast, the full English breakfast was a standout dish that was worth the cost.
