Frommer's Review

In the old Pilotage Building down by the dock, this is a haven of modernity, serving not only the best of Britain, but also dishes inspired by the cuisines of the Pacific Rim and the Mediterranean. Sean McCarthy roams the world for inspiration and finds it in his spicy and savory combinations. He is addicted to Asian flavorings, such as a sweet chili sauce used to perk up pork tenderloin (ginger and garlic help, too). Well-crafted starters include pressed terrine of pheasant with mulled-wine jelly, or a ravioli of salmon with lobster with artichoke purée. Mains include pan-roasted corn-fed chicken breast or chargrilled rib-eye of Aberdeen Angus with Jerusalem artichokes.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
