Starters that caught our eye included scallops in beer batter with black pudding and a pea puree, Glamorgan patties (cheese and leek) with tomato chutney and mustard cream, and whisky-cured Scottish salmon with Michaelmas Salad. Main courses are equally appetising, though I just missed out on the herbed goats cheese filo parcel with spinach and honey roast vegetables - that had tempted more than just me.However it wasn't difficult to make another choice, and a rib eye of beef with homemade chips, spinach and a red wine sauce was tender, delicious and cooked to perfection. Roast halibut was also a triumph, very fresh and melting in the mouth, and presented with hazelnut dill potato and mustard cream sauce.

The design of the restaurant is quite minimal with a touch of opulence - glass, steel, teak and granite - a style that suits the cuisine perfectly. Which means that a meal there ceases to be simply that and becomes a spectacular experience. Like all Japanese restaurants the menu is huge and varied. However there are no weaknesses at all and everything is as close to perfect as it is reasonable to expect. If you fancy just a drink there is a lounge and sake bar offering more than 20 types of sake as well as cocktails. There's also a sushi counter if you are dropping in on a whim.
