A very pleasant evening, with a party of 4. We all ate from the £13 special menu. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented. The staff were, without exception, excellent. The maitre d'hotel, although just a young man, was extremely knowledgeable and struck absolutely the right balance in making informed and helpful suggestions without appearing overbearing or supercilious. His professionalism was echoed by the waiting staff who were attentive yet unobtrusive - testament to their thorough training. The main dinner menu is extensive, well thought out and sensibly priced. You may certainly dine here with full confidence in the Falcon's ability to deliver upon their deservedly good reputation. We will definitely return.
