"Arriving at The Griffin I was immediately impressed with the interior – a fantastic mix of exposed beams with a cool, contemporary bar and stylish dining space. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu, which comprises of a delicious mix of meat, fish and vegetarian options. My husband and I both opted for the pan-fried scallops to start, served with fennel compote, pickled apple, seaweed and caviar sauce. I then chose the grilled skate with capers, brown shrimp, cucumber and chicken butter sauce, which literally melted in the mouth, while my husband enjoyed a chunky fillet of halibut, complemented by parmesan gnocchi, chanterelle mushrooms and a shellfish sauce. He was then too full for dessert, but I personally couldn't resist, asking my server what she'd recommend. She suggested I try the Paris-Brest, choux pastry filled with praline mousseline and topped with a warm chocolate sauce. Baked to order, it was absolutely worth the wait! We both left with full and contended tummies, knowing we'd return with friends so they, too, coulds ample The Griffin's delicious cuisine."
