Food was delicious, service was disappointing. There was no proper welcome, servers were not personable and seemed rushed. Food was very nice but I expected the service to be considerably better for the price.

Beautiful starters. Let down by a very “fishy” tasting piece of cod which had me wondering if it was off. Didn’t finish it. Disappointing chips - bland and barely crisp. Deserts a very mixed bag from lovely Crème Brûlée to a leaden dense chocolate “mousse” - quite the most un-mousselike mouse I’ve eaten. Lovely service and the usual ambience spoiled by an understandable Christmas shoutathon, not the restaurants fault!

Three of us had a great meal last night at the Wild Goose Grill. Excellent food, imaginatively presented, attentive service, happy customers, friendly atmosphere, big wine list including some at perfectly reasonable prices. One of us is a vegetarian, and greatly enjoyed the meal, which is not always always the case in restaurants that cater mostly for misguided carnivores. All in all, the place is definitely worth a visit.
