Good Neighbour

Was wonderful to be town with the family but it presents a mixed bag of food requirements. Good neighbour has a small menu and the vegan options didn’t contain many calories. The menu was limited and the dishes where small, as expected and perfectly formed but personally they didn’t sing with flavours. The service was great and about the right pace not rushing us through our meal and the plates arrived at the right intervals so we weren’t swamped with dishes. The drinks menu was excellent and they catered for non drinkers with plenty of virgin cocktails which were excellent. They also had a good wine list to choose from. The atmosphere was buzzy but on a hot summers night the traffic noise and passing emergency vehicles could be penetrating. Would I go back? Don’t think so but never say never.

Great cocktails especially the espresso martini, and the pumpkin arancini was delicious (though would have liked more!). My only criticism was that I was expecting a bit more flavour from the cauliflower dish. Good range of vegan options, which is why we were there. A great place to go for a drink and a bite, and the ambiance was lovely too :)

This was an amazing experience from the front of house service all the way through. How the chef (Garry - you are a star) manages to prepare the number of plates for a packed restaurant, in the time that he does and the space thdy he has, is nothing short of astonishing. Great atmosphere. Great night. Thank you.

The food is really good. I was cynical about the whole small plate thing, as the portions aren't big, but everything is really well prepared and extremely tasty. The service was friendly and attentive and the large has a nice buzz. Eating upstairs is much nicer as the downstairs room can feel a bit like an overspill.
