The Tartar Frigate is the chosen venue for our lunch when my friend is visiting from Toronto. The restaurant itself is a marvellous room affording a lovely view over Viking Bay where I spent many happy holidays in the 60s. The food has never been less than excellent and the staff always attentive. AND there's Gadd's No.5 in the bar downstairs!
