Nice Theatre. There is plenty of leg room in our seats anyway. Section G in the Dress Circle (Floor 3). Never been a theatre with 2 dress circles and on 2 different floors. Seats were quite comfy. We think it needs a bit of a spruce up. The items at the interval are a lot cheaper than at the Playhouse. Ice cream was £1.50 cheaper. The view of the stage was good. Just unfortunate that the Play was not great. No fault of the theatre for that one.
We went on a Sunday at the back of 5pm. We booked in advance.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
We started with the Lentil Soup and the Tempura King Prawns.
My wife's Lentil Soup was served in a large bowl and she loved it. It came with 2 slices of nice bloomer bread. I had the Tempura King Prawns served with sweet chilli sauce. I absolutely loved the 5 King Prawns. The sweet chili sauce was not too sweet, but had a nice little kick. My wife had the Scampi and I had the Haddock for our mains. We had a side of Onion Rings to go with it. My Wifes Scampi was really nice. 9 large plump breaded scampi with a portion of mushy peas and a large portion of chips. My Haddock was nice. The flesh was white and clearly fresh. The batter was underdone for me and could have been a lot crispier, but was still really nice. The chips were really good as was the onion rings.
We were going to have a pudding. But we were full and would not have managed it. Disapointing as I wanted to try a deep fried mars bar for the first time. Even though we stay 15 miles from where it was invented and never tried it. With a Pint of Fanta Lemon, a Coke Zero and a pint of Birra Moretti came to £55.95 it was good value.
We will go back to City Restaurant, next time at Festival Theatre.
