1. Cherry Hegarty ★★☆☆☆

   Staff super friendly but food very poor indeed, lacking taste and badly cooked, although very well presented. The restaurant floors looked very grubby, as if they hadn't been cleaned after a busy Saturday night. My prosecco cocktail was flat, but was replaced with a fizzy one. This was our second, and most definitely last time eating here.

   If any word could be used to describe this place, it would be "quaint". A stone's throw away from James Street station, it's a convenient little spot to eat. Regrettably, the building next to Silk Road had scaffolding/fencing, and the signage outside didn't feel like a restaurant. On a Monday evening, the restaurant was a little lacking in atmosphere, with only 2 other tables in a large dining room. The food, however, was another story. Some dishes were exceptional. Stand-outs include the chicken satays, which were notably moist, and the lamb shoulder stew, which had incredible depth of flavour. The nasi goreng was very interesting, too. The portion-size of the chips were excellent, but it lacks the truffle-flavour expected of "truffle and parmesan" chips. However, there were some dishes that weren't exceptional. The white-pizza was a little too "creative", leaning into the territory of weird, with a sickly-sweet base of caramelized onions and extremely sweet balsamic glaze. The aubergines were very bland, and the sea-bass dish was fried so it lost a lot of the delicate taste/flaky-texture of bass. It would probably go better with fresher greens (pureed spinach, for example) as a pan-seared dish, and the aubergines would probably be a better dish charcoal-grilled as slices instead of luke-warm chunks. Overall, 3.5 stars. The outside environment and lack of atmosphere on a Monday marred the experience, but there were enough exceptional dishes to warrant a return. There are some dishes that should be avoided (or otherwise cooked differently and improved), but there are other dishes that are to die for. A restaurant with very good potential, and excellent value for money.

   Recommend booking a table in advance if you are going during weekend! Maybe I had too high expectation…the foods were alright, nothing too amazing. Portion was a normal tapas size.

   Service was quick and staff were super helpful. There's loads of options which means this is an ideal place for groups. We tried 8 dishes as the extensive menu meant it was difficult to choose! The steak, calamari, nasi goreng and chocolate cake were the stand out options, all cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The ribs weren't very good but the staff were more than happy to listen to our feedback and also swapped the dish without hesitation. Worth a visit, if you get the chance

   Brilliant staff, very quick service and fantastic food! 2 tapas for £8 or 3 for £12 - very reasonably priced; especially for the quality. Pictures are ham croquettes, forest chicken and fish goujons. Would highly recommend all 3!
