A boring dinner at the Gallery Restaurant (6/10)

We weren't very organised on the Sunday night in Brighton and the first two places we tried to go to for dinner were booked out. We ended up at the Gallery Restaurant, which looked pretty cool. It was a converted townhouse, so had lots of little nooks where the tables were scattered around.

Bad start - our table hadn't been cleared from the previous guests and we had to ask for it to be done (and then give the waiter some hints on how to use the spray and wipe!).


I decided on the scallops to start and Kyle went with wild mushrooms and stilton on brioche. The scallops were tiny and bland, the other dish was cheese on toast.

And quite frankly, from that point, we pretty much gave up. Kyle ordered a seafood pasta for main and I had duck fillet with avocado salsa. All pretty boring and blah, blah, blah . . .

The only thing that redeemed the night, was that we ended up chatting with the other couple in our little nook (well, commiserating over the boring, disappointing food really) and they recommended a place for our lunch the next day. Lunch at The Ginger Pig will form the basis of a separate post . . .
