5 /5 Chris Madge: Yet another excellent Birthday lunch at Forty Four. Modern Mediterranean/Japanese fusion. All the dishes are faultless, beautifully presented, lovely mix of flavours and cooked to perfection. The Scallops, Calamari and Tuna were popular choices, be careful of the wasabi with the tuna dish as it’s the real deal not the fake stuff you see in most sushi restaurants. The Black Miso cod was sublime and chosen by 4 of us, it did not disappoint. To finish great selection of deserts, clean plates all round. Andrea (recently returned) was an excellent host and happy to share some chef’s recipes as it’s so good. We’ll be back again very soon, possibly the best restaurant in the area, what a gem!
