Simply delicious and decadent.
I started off with the beetroot, goats cheese and lentil salad. The beetroot tart, the lentils retained bite while absorbing dressing and the goats cheese smothered on the crostini added a creamy finish, a great combination.
For mains I went for the Mushroom Rotollo (like a pasta swiss roll) with crispy sage. The mushrooms where bursting with flavour and the pasta was soft but then also had some crunch from being in the wood fired oven - heavenly.
The boy had the octopus for entree and then the Swordfish. He enjoyed the octopus and said the swordfish was cooked to perfection and was very happy with his choice. We managed to share The River Cafe Chocolate Nemesis for dessert, simply sinful bliss.
Every person who came to our table knew their stuff. I asked Slav various questions and he answered everything without hesitation. Water was re-filled constantly, wine topped up and plates cleared efficiently. Superb.
Chilled out, great copper plate on the wall, chairs comfy. Love how they have done the lighting.
Overall:
There isn't too much to choose when it comes to vegetarian options so won't rush back, but will be making huge recommendations to anyone who will listen that this place is fantastic and deserves a visit. Book now you will not regret.
