Dominiques review by Francesca Evans
I'm not sure who the ex Londoner snob is but can I just say we aren't all like that! I have come from London and I can't believe the patronising attitude that this person thinks that anyone outside the M25 isn't even worthy of an opinion.
I have been to this restaurant on several occasions and the food has been faultless. I would say its better than chez bruce which was in my local wandsworth which was a complete rip off. My only comment would be that the restaurant needs a bit more atmosphere. Its not cosy enough to be romantic and not interesting enough to be trendy. However it was great when we went as a big group of us, all of us had main courses and desserts. In my experience in London it is a feat in itself for a group of 8 people to get what they have ordered and be served at the same time, let alone really enjoy their food!
I usually order fish and it has always been cooked to perfection (inlike a raw mass of sludge I was once served at the Bridge in Putney, supposedly a michelin starred restaurant).
The puddings are out of this world, the trio of chocolate is my favourite so far. I haven't had chance to sample the wine list to any great extent as I usually have to drive as it is a bit out of the way for a taxi. Maybe thats the reason they don't put all their efforts into the wine list, mr high and mighty. I'd rather they spend it on the food and staff to be honest.
