Nicos is an excellent chef. He provided us with an evening full of delight. When he served the scallop as a starter I knew it was going to be a delicious evening, it was fantastic. The main course was a real treat - something you wouldn't cook for yourself - a whole bowl of wonderful seafood in a rich bisque. The gin and tonic sorbet was a refreshing end to the meal. Nicos was charming and attentive and I would definitely recommend him!
Nicos cooked us his signature 'Lobster Love-in' dish, it was clear that he put a lot of love into the whole meal. The scallop to start was delicious, I had never tried Café de Paris butter before but it was a wonderful new experience. The pot of crustaceans were extremely fun to eat and it was so nice to eat some fresh seafood. The gin and tonic sorbet finished the meal perfectly. Thank you Nicos for a very fun and delicious evening!
The starter was absolutely delicious - I was astonished by how good it was. I also enjoyed the main course but it was fairly stressful to eat due to all the shells - but made it feel like an achievement afterwards! The dessert was also good although a tad too alcoholic for my tastes! Great evening all round though - thanks so much Nico!
Delicious fish and I absolutely adored the sorbet! Still dreaming of it now... Could have done with some help cracking into the lobster!
Nico had clearly gone to a lot of effort to produce a fantastically fun Friday night meal. As a seafood lover his bucket of favourite Crustaceans was a real treat! The gin and tonic sorbet was a perfect palette cleanser to finish.
