the rectory

the rectory is a classy little place on saint paul's square at the heart of the jewelry quarter. the traditional english food is great quality, wellpresentedand tastes delish. the 2 for 1 cocktail deal on thursdays is also a nice touch, although the free cocktail has to be the same as the paid for one and they aren't a touch on the bitters & twisted venues. i had baked brie boxes for starter and the 8oz sirloin steak for main course, both were beautiful and really well cooked, and the belly pork looked fantastic. service was a little sporadic with dishes served up at different times but all in all, a great tasting meal and nice little venue.

fabulous food!. we stumbled across the rectory by accident on a rather busy saturday night and what a piece of luck that turned out to be!
the waiter did extremely well even to seat us and when the meals arrived we could see why it was so busy. i opted for the beef wellington on the recommendation of the waiter, my wife plumped for the sea bass. both great choices, cooked perfectly andpresentedwell. only a small choice of desserts but since my wife commented that her cheesecake was the most delicious she'd ever tasted in her life, i guess i'll have to forgive them for that.
overall the atmoshpere in the restaurant was perfect, and the service throughout was attentive without being overbearing.
definitely a place we will hurry back to.
