Number 16 (West End)

• Hogmanay) is traditionally a big party night with plenty of drams to keep everyone going
• The last couple of hogmanays have been quiet for me with work but this year I decided to arrange a big get together with some friends of ours
• Number 16 had a special hogmanay menu on with three courses and a glass of fizz for £
• I have eaten the pork belly main course in here before and this starter was like a mini version
• Three or four people that I have been chatting to about this restaurant mentioned the pork belly dish so it is not just me who loves it
• My only gripe was that it was a bit sweet for me so I would have preferred less of the sweet stuff on the plate and more puree or a savoury element
• The seabass was a close second for me when choosing what to have because I loved the sound of it but my friend who had it said it was delicious
• The only reason that I never chose the panna cotta is because I had poached fruit with my main but it went down well with the others
• The cheesecake was rich and tasty
• Ve ever eaten) sticky toffee pudding was not on the menu but this made up for it
• Our waiter was also very helpful with tweaking the dish for Mr S so that it did not contain nuts
• Rather than lacing the main element with nuts leaving allergy sufferers little choice on the menu
• ) the meal was a success and we were ready for continuing our night at Ashton Lane
• Went in on a weeknight with no reservation and the staff were happy to seat us
• We started with olives and shortbread
• The shortbread had a cheese flavour and went really nicely with the olives
• Again we were delighted with the quality and flavour
• That goes hand in hand with fine dining and great food
• The service was really nice
• Here the staff were really friendly and nice
• The salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in mouth
• I thought it was very reasonably price
• I myself had the Striploin of beef that was cooked to perfection
• Chocolate ice cream and there was something else but can&rsquo
• It was one of the best deserts I have had in a long time
