We got the call about 2 weeks ago saying that we’d been reviewed and could we send some pictures. We were given no indication as to the content, and my schoolboy style interrogation left me no wiser - made mental note to watch re-runs of Cracker on UK Gold.
It’s felt like I’ve been waiting for exam results, but I’m extremely pleased to say that the review fared better than my academic achievements.
Tracey MacLeod describes the menu as “seasonal, unpretentious, ethically sourced and you want to try everything on it” and has awarded 4 stars out of 5 which tops my 2 O’levels hands down. The décor has been described as “glamorous and high-style” and that the restaurant would be “quite at home on the Upper East Side”, I couldn’t have written it better myself!
The piece is finished off with “in a town where fine-dining opportunities are severely limited, Alimentum deserves to find an eager clientele. In fact, I’ll go further, and say that if you live anywhere near the place, please go there as soon as possible” wise words indeed…
Like any new business there are still areas we can improve upon, but the only thing I would disagree with is Tracey MacLeod’s perception of the location. The station and Hills road area has undergone, and will continue to undergo major redevelopment that will make this side of town a hub for both business and leisure clientele. All in all an extremely positive review
Alimentum definitely looks inviting from the outside (I pass by everyday!) and I have been thinking of trying the food for a while.
Hopefully will make time and be there soon!
