   Food wasn't very warm, service was slow, pre-ordered drinks but didn't receive them until after 20 minutes when asked what we would like to drink - wasn't impressed.

   Night out with daughter - so we tried this restaurant . Been here several times before. I noticed in the booking it says the table is booked for 1hr 30mins ? We were there at least 2 hours. It took well over 20mins to receive our drinks order & we hadn’t ordered food then. Anyway, our starters arrived - I had the black pudding - which was fab, my daughter however was brought the wrong starter & had to wait for the goats cheese she ordered to arrive. She felt it was a bit too rich - too much goats cheese & it would have been better with something to offset the richness. Our mains came - mine was the catch of the day - trout with potatoes & veg . The trout was lovely the rest was nice but not very warm. My daughter liked hers - the sausage & mash etc - could have done with a bit more gravy/jus. I decided to have the lemon cheesecake - sorry couldn’t taste the lemon very well. Although we did overall enjoy the food - fab cocktails 👍, and the wine, felt the service let it down. It won’t put us off booking again though 👍.

   Dined after work on the Early Dinner Set Menu which was priced at £28 for 2 courses or £35 for 3 courses. When we arrived the restaurant was busy inside and out, it was a lovely evening so we opted to sit outside. The courtyard is beautiful and the food was delicious we couldn't fault a thing! The Set Menu was definitely value for money and I would recommend Blackfriars as a great place to dine after work, it has been a while since I last dined here and I forgot how good it was!

   Unexpectedly great food. Went for a work dinner meeting, not really focused on the meal but the food was so good it grabbed our attention and made us slow down and savor the moment.

   Absolutely lovely food & wine, with impeccable service. We had 2 courses on the afternoon set menu & was stunning value for money. All the staff were first class, friendly & very helpful....I'd happily go every week. Great job!
