Wedgwood (Old Town)

• A visit to Wedgwood is certainly not to be missed
• Wedgwood on the Canongait is one such place
• General consensus is extremely positive
• The restaurant filled up and was positively buzzing by the time we left
• The restaurant is comfortable
• You can tell that the focus for Wedgwood is very much the food
• A pea soup with truffled honey and blue cheese for me
• I personally felt that the soup was under seasoned
• Soil a few weeks ago was more to his 'adventurous' tastes
• On this occasion was coley with chorizo
• The flavors were both fresh and robust
• Knowing that the produce was of the highest quality was a treat
• The dishes were quite good
• Our amuse bouches were a salmon and scallop tartar
• It was an easy decision although there was a really good range of dishes on the menu
• It was creamy and rich but came with a Bloody Mary sorbet that helped cut through the cream and a delicious Parmesan shortbread
• Hiding at the bottom of the pot were chunks of tender lobster
• Soothingly creamy on the inside and with a heart of melting blue cheese
• The cheese was strong enough to be a presence but not so strong as to drown the rice
• The restaurant is on two levels
• The upstairs is the main dining room and has about 30 covers
• Except when the reflections of the waiters aligned with the chef&rsquo
• The pass and the waiter area are on show which gives an open and friendly feeling to the restaurant
• That friendliness is carried through by the staff
• Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional
• Comfortable but smart grey dresses or tunics with the restaurant&rsquo
• ) The tian was simple and very tasty
• Ve enjoyed having flavoured carrot purees recently and the vanilla one that came with the rabbit worked well and balanced the heavy umami flavours of the meat
• We used to go foraging when I was a child and would eat wild mushrooms on toast for weeks in the autumn
• Dotted around the rabbit were perfect pieces of potato and crunchy bonbons of dark meat
• Each element was delicious and tasting them was like unwrapping an early Christmas present
• S great to see a dish like the hazelnut and blue cheesecake with spiced poached pear which gives you both on the one plate
• The poached pear was wonderfully seasonal &ndash
• The poaching liquid was warm with spice and had a good
• Focused on the cheesecake which was big on blue cheese flavour and fabulously smooth
• Two of the staff recommendations for dessert were honey roast parsnip crè
• Dessert was a very difficult call but I eventually decided on the coconut panna cotta with sweet cicely sorbet
• The pistachio crisp was lovely and I enjoyed the crunch of it and pistachios with the silky panna cotta
• Wedgwood (Old Town) is fab what more can I say
• The service is unobtrusively excellent
• Truly disappointed with the service
• We have no problems with Japanese food but they should at least make it clear on the menu or explain the dish properly to the customers so they know what to expect
• The waiting staff were rude and unhelpful
• First evening there a few years ago with a much missed friend who now lives in Toronto
• It was also my first choice for my recent birthday meal and I was sad to find it was closed for the dates I required
• We were quickly escorted to a white linen clad table downstairs and were happy to be away from the bustle of the busy upstairs room
• The menu at Wedgwood is always exciting and it can be difficult
• We also ordered a bottle of Chateau Ka a Lebanese wine filled with the flavours of strawberries and black pepper that I can never resist when it appears in a wine list
• First to arrive on the table was a little plate of homemade bread served with a garlic and thyme dip
• The bread was absolutely delicious soft and cakey with a sweetness akin to brioche
• The dip made for a perfect accompaniment with the tangy sour and sweet flavours reminding me of an aromatic stew I ate once as a child in the Canary Islands and never quite forgot
• It's not that Wedgwood is good or that it's bad
• The soup was pretty disappointing and was more like chicken stock
• My trout dish was also very tasty
• This was the month that I was supposed to be not eating out due to serious over spending on holiday
• Especially since a few of them were on my wishlist
• In the end it was the menu at Wedgwood that excited me the most
• A fine dining atmosphere but an intimate venue with delightfully friendly staff
• I chose two starters and dessert rather than a main as I was intrigued by some of their 'starters masquerading as desserts'
• The bread basket arrived with a beautiful thyme and garlic olive oil for dipping delicious
• My first starter was the Isle of Mull cheddar and onion bread and butter pudding with fennel ice cream and confit tomato
• In the form of raspberry coulis with ginger beer in a shot glass
• The flavours were perfectly balanced
• Chocolate torte with caramelised hazelnut
• As well as the attentive staff who made me feel just as welcome as if I was with a much larger table
