I had dinner here after checking into the Carrington hotel. Food selection was ok, but not as tasty as I would have liked. The steak I ordered turned out to be medium, even though I asked for rare. Staff was very friendly and the service was relatively fast. Overall, a good place to eat if you don't want to venture... More

We went on a Saturday night with no booking. We were advised we could have a drink down stairs and go on a waiting list, which we did. Within 1/2 hour we were called up to the dining room where the staff were very friendly. Food was good without being amazing and came in a timely fashion. Atmosphere was good... More

This was a delicious meal and we thoroughly enjoyed the excellent ranges of drinks on offer. The service from waitstaff was excellent too. Highlights were the pork belly and a fantastic rum and raisin affogarto for... More

We had a decent meal but service was painfully slow, it stopped us going back a second time. Would recommend the guiness and ale pie as long as you can stand the wait. More

The Old City Bank is a lovely old place, well turned out and matched by the quality of the food. We had a good meal, all very reasonable too. My only niggle is that they have squeezed as many tables in as possible and space is a bit too tight to be comfortable. Apart from that, all good. More

The Brasserie is right next door to the Carrington Hotel and you can charge you meal to your room account if you are a guest there. The menu is not that extensive but they do what they do well. Its no fuss and no frills but a satisfying experience. More
