The Forge review by Sarah

Monday-pre-theatre dinner meant there were only 3 or 4 other tables occupied, so service was good - friendly and efficient. Our glass of champagne (£6.50, fruity and very more-ish) and Kiwi Sauvignon (about £5 for very large glass) arrived within 2 minutes of ordering. Food was also delivered promptly and was very good indeed.

The langoustines in garlic came with crackers for us to attempt to get more meat out of the claws. The scallops in a mint foam were large and perfectly cooked.

For mains, venison cutlet was served with roast carots and parsnips. Gamey and tender. The salmon fillet wasn't as good - covered in a sesame crust and not very flavourful. But overall, an excellent meal. £80 (roughly) for 2 courses for 2 plus 4 large glasses of wine, bottle of water and service.

Excellent choice for theatre district and we will be back soon.

(We've also tried the cosy downstairs bar which is run by a super-charming and super-friendly manager. Will be even better once the smoking ban comes in.)
