    Absaloutly lovely food was beautiful, im not a big eater so the portion sizes were just right for me , if you like huge portions then this isnt for you, im also very picky we dine out a lot and one thhing i cant abide is food chucked together looking a mess and no flavour,Vitos food is presented looking like it should like a work of art you can tell the chefs take pride in what they cook and tastes phenonemull, i love how you can see the kitchen and watch them making the food whilst you wait, my only gripe is the seating it feels like your encroaching other diners, your that close you hear every word everyone is saying so iit takes away from what should be a romantic setting which is a shame

    My wife and I made our first visit to The Broad Chare for lunch, upstairs in the dining room, to celebrate my birthday, and what an excellent choice we made. We decided to mark the occasion by having the T-bone steak to share - we realised that neither of us had ever had that cut before - and I can't imagine it could be better. The meat was perfectly cooked, the blue cheese salad was delicious, it was a memorable dish. The starters were excellent as well - can't say much about the desserts because all we were capable of by that stage was lemon sorbet each! When we arrived there was only one other table occupied, but it soon filled up and was a really good atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and efficient. A bit pricy, but it was a birthday lunch and definitely worth it!
