So what was this meal like!!?
Walking into the Waldorf was a lovely experience - I asked the doorman where the restaurant was and he said "This way Sir, please follow me...." He looked very dapper in his bowler hat.
The maitre d was very polite and escorted us into the gorgeous dining room - white pillars, chandeliers and immaculate tables.
The offer we had was 3 courses and 2 glasses of wine for £30 a head. Not bad for this standard of restaurant - and nice to try something different for a special occasion!
Have to say I love the bread basket! Gorgeous fresh bread regularly brought round - on the waitresses third visit I had to decline!! #breadfest
I started with caramelized figs, crumbled goats cheeses, pine nuts with a yoghurt and cinnamon dressing. Ummmm....
Then a delicious roasted sea trout on a bed of grilled broccoli, pesto gnocchi and brown shrimp butter sauce.
All nicely washed done with two glasses of Merlot.
After a pause to let the starter and main go down....and the bread, I opted for the random medley of plum and celeriac mousse with a white chocolate glaze, berry compote!!!! Celeriac in a desert???? But it worked!!
It was a great meal and mum and dad thoroughly enjoyed it!! Only embarrassing moment was we thought we paid the bill at the entrance....however, you pay at the table and our waitress ran after us though we were making a dash for it - the Trees ooze class....
