NCW has been a restaurant I have been wanting to go to for a while since my husband saw its review in Visi magazine comparing it to Mosaic (perhaps not a good thing as it set my expectations very high).

Firstly, the restaurant was very accommodating when our fellow diners had to cancel and it was just the 2 of us. I called and they advised that it was ok. This is really incredible. Thank you.

The welcome service was full of smiles. I really enjoyed that. The gentlemen and lady who served us during the night were courteous and knowledgeable about the food.

The food itself was both good and ok. The meals that stood out were the starters, an amazing pea soup on cold basil ice cream that just complemented each other so well - real genius; and a great chickpea and red pepper salad, where the vinaigrette was the star of the meal.

The desert was tasty. It was creme brûlée and made well.

The main of seafood risotto and the pre-main chicken were let downs. I could not finish both. The chicken was a bit dry and did not go well with the hard sorghum; and the seafood risotto was too hard and not a pleasant flavour for both my husband and myself.

The Mac ‘n Cheese was definitely better (which I tasted from my husband) - it had marrow bone, which was very nicely seasoned and cooked.

Overall, it was good value for money for the Restaurant Week Price.

I’m certain that as the restaurant grows, they will get better and better.

We were greeted and taken on a tour of the space and were warmly welcomed and looked after - it was wonderful service.
The menu seemed simple to execute and I looked forward to it. The pea soup was outstanding and I loved the ice cream. The amuse Bouche fun and the wines paired to perfection.
The chicken course seemed a bit bland and lacked va va voom - my osso bucco was fine but simon’s Marrow bone was raw - we were offered another but I declined. The chick pea course seemed an after thought and didn’t gel with the rest of the evening it could have been served with the chicken. As a stand alone it was missing something as it was more like a dip. The dessert was delicious and I enjoyed that very much. Perhaps I’ll come
Back when it’s not restaurant week to try the normal menu.

The restaurant is a hidden gem and my wife and I loved the fine dining experience. On arrival we were met with a massive smile and a tour of the restaurant and other facilities. Such amazing features and such friendly staff. The menu was amazing and we enjoyed the presentation of the food, the amazing flavors, great wine pairings and most of all the exquisite staff. We will definitely be coming back again and again.
