Yak Bar

I enjoyed dinner here recently. They have very nice food - my companion and I had drinks, but also enjoyed their entre servings of Chargrilled Calamari and a generous serving of Steamed Mussels. During our meal I confirmed my developing view that they have fabulous service. Why? I actually managed to drop an entire tumbler of sparkling water onto our table (and yes ... into my dinner). While I valiantly did my best to mop up, my companion asked the server for another napkin and when he came over and saw what had happened, he immediately took my flooded dinner away and appeared within 5 mins with a totally new one!

It's been a while since I visited yak, and wow how impressive. Their new decor looks great and both mine and my husbands meals were Devine.

I sampled my partner's gnocchi and it was really lovely - quite meaty but delicious. My agnolotti was beautiful - really delicate flavours that were combined so well, but the serving was just not quite enough to fill me up, even with the bread and oil we had before the mains were served. Unfortunately we did not have enough time for dessert, otherwise we would have ordered the Italian doughnuts with pistachio ice cream and orange sauce.
