Lanes Restaurant & Bar review by jpswalsh
My friend and I had dinner here last night, taking them up on the 50% off the food bill deal that was on offer.
We floated out of the restaurant. I was sceptical as we approached, but the staff were impeccable, the ambience was gorgeous; beautiful and calming.
The menu was simple and very British (knickerbocker glory?). My friend opted for the calfs liver and I had the rack of lamb. When our meals arrived, my first impression was 'if I was paying £23 for the lamb, I'd be a bit annoyed by how small it was.' It was very tasty though, a little overdone by my taste, but I actually hadn't been asked how I would like it cooked and I'm nit-picking. The sides were simple and really delicious, the cabbage especially. We both had the sticky toffee pudding which was gorgeous, and he finished with a coffee. We asked for the bill when the waitress cleared the table and she was quick to assure us that there was no rush for us to finish and that we were welcome to stay as long as we wanted. Never before has that happened!
All in all, it was a fantastic experience. The staff and service were impeccable, friendly, helpful and accomodating. Wine and water glasses were always topped up without interrupting the conversation, and we had completely unwound by the end of the evening, very full and very happy, floating off down the street. Would go again ni a heartbeat, 50% off or not!
