    Really good quality lemon sole and the koffmann fries very tasty too. However, nearly £70 for 2 people without wine is a tad steep to make Ember a "must go back soon" kinda place. For a special occasion though it has a lot to offer.

    Love this place. The ambience, service and food are all incredible and unique. However there is a real lack of meat/dairy free options. They’ve happy to accommodate and usually there are some more veg focused dishes but on last visit there were none beyond a starter salad. Would be good to balance the menu a bit more with 1 or 2 veggie dishes.

    Frank’s was an absolute treat! Every dish we ordered was flavor packed and delicious. We had tickets for a show at the Park Theatre and thought it was a slightly closer walk and there was a train delay so we ended up in a bit of a rush to make curtain time. The staff was knowledgeable, accommodating and very kind. We plan on coming back when we have a bit more time to savor the full experience. I can’t recommend this charming place highly enough.
