SeLAh

This is a cosy little restaurant with even a couple of couches so it's not too formal. I like the earthy tones of the decor and helped me feel warm on this cold night. The service was great. You have to pay for bread here but it's only $3. The serving sizes are huge. The enjoyable potato and leek pie that came with the scotch fillet could have been a meal in itself. The scotch fillet itself was maybe a little unevenly cooked- most was medium rare as they recommended but parts were rare. The dessert was one of the the most interesting I've had for a while. The mains was so large though we had one dessert to share between two. I'm glad this restaurant tries to do something interesting with their desserts, not just the classics. The selah bomb was delicately layered with sponge and icecream and the entire thing was covered in piped meringue. The dessert was thoroughly enjoyable, the coffee is one of the best I've had in a while. I think this restaurant is good value and I am particularly happy with the decent sized portions.
