For dinner I had the striploin with horseradish & scallion mashed potatoes and stilton & walnut jus. I ordered medium rare, but it came more on the rare side. It was also not really warm enough to my liking. Not cold, but not warm enough. But I wasn't going to send it back or anything. The wine suggestion I had was good. The mashed potatoes were okay, but not really mashed enough (there were lumps)
For dessert I had a cheesecake. It was good. Satisfied with that.
All in all, I wasn't TOO disappointed, only because the price was reasonable. You get what you pay for I suppose. But I've been here before lots of times and have had way better meals.
7/10. Maybe 7.5/10.

I had the candied salmon salad, and i loved it. my date had the springroll. i too, did not like the outside. was not crispy. Inside was as you said -- a little too much black pepper, but i found it tasty still.
I had the steak as well, medium rare. I didn'tcare for it either. The other main was the sablefish, which she said tasted 'okay'.
I had the bread pudding dessert, and liked it alot. cheesecake is cheesecake to me.
8/10 for me. everything but the entree was good.
