Very underwhelming.
My wife and I are huge seafood lovers, we thought outlaw new road would be right up our street. However, we left disappointed with the food. Sure the emphasis is on the seafood, but to have 2 thin slices of beetroot, 3 baby cherry tomatoes, half an olive and a teaspoon of squash in 8 courses was measly. Most seafood doesn’t need much with being so delicate in flavour, sadly 3 of the 8 were totally spoilt with having pickled shallots covering them. I’ve never eaten lobster and not been able to taste the juicy sweet meat, until I ate here. You guessed it, covered with shallots. I had to ask the waitress if anymore courses were in fact going to have shallots on as that’s all I could taste in my mouth. The worst course was poached tuna in a herb infused oil. Talk about ruin something, it looked like something out of a tin, and sadly just tasted of herb oil. It could have been anything I was eating, and guess what, covered with some shallots. Also the total lack of carbs/veg meant despite paying £175 each we came out hungry.
On the plus, staff were lovely, the room was nice and the view lovely. Would I return, sadly not. I’ve been to many far better Michelin restaurants, that have provided a real experience, more beautiful decorated creations for a lot less.
£175 is only £5 less than a 4 course silver service dinner at the Ritz.
