Seafood and Steakhouse - Salisbury, Wiltshire





Seafood and Steak is part of the Milford Hall Hotel but non-guests are welcome. The restaurant name is a little misleading. Yes they do offer up good quality steaks and seafood but when I hear the words Steak House it conjures up images of questionable chains serving mediocre food in a dark generic setting. This restaurant however is far from that. I can best describe it as being a fancy, semi-romantic restaurant with well dressed waiters and high quality food.

I had the Pan Seared Scallops with Cauliflower Puree, Black Pudding and Truffle oil (£8.25) and my mother had the Mussels, Smoked Bacon, Cider Cream, and Tarragon that came with Garlic Toast (£7.25). The Cauliflower Puree was a little watery, the Black Pudding was crispy and rich and the Scallops were slightly underdone. Overall I didn't rate it. My mother however enjoyed her Mussels. The sauce was nice and the addition of the Bacon gave it a pleasant salty kick.

The restaurant was nearly empty when we went however I was told by one of the waiters that they are usually very busy and booking is required. I'm not sure about that as we went on a Friday night.

I think I'll give it a miss next time I'm there, not because it's bad necessarily but because it required us taking a taxi to get to it (it's not walking distance from Salisbury center) and I don't think it's worth the cab fare.
