The Clerkenwell Dining Room and Bar review by John McNally
I went with my wife and another couple on Saturday 1 September. Only 3 or 4 tables full when we arrived but was probably 70%full by the time we left.
Service was fine, if not hightly skilled and I was brought a jug of tap water without demure, which is always a good test.
Starters were large:my octopus was a little lost in the various accompaniments, I snatched a tasty tempura prawn and the tomato consomme with garden veg was particularly appreciated.
Mains were equally ample, if again with a few too many ingredients. My halibut was much better than the last ime I'd ordered it (20,July at Inside SE10), though I would have sooner had more fish and done without the oxtail ravioli. Everone else seemed happy enough though some comments in the same vein from the rabbit eater in the group.
Obviously 90% on the Saturday night i.e. non-business customers are here on 50% off the food deals. My personal taste would be to have things 50% simpler and charged on a straightforward basis. Don't refuse an invitation to eat there though.
