  there a few threads on this but i don't remember anyone saying that they had actually eaten there.
  
  the issue was all about when it would open, apparently they got a detailed review on an internet site before they were open for business, tony jayms will remember more.

  I have been for the Sunday lunch ( this is getting shameful , everytime a new restaurant is mentioned I have eaten there )
  It was god value for money , the food was fine , not exciting but there is not much you can do with a roast to make it different , we where offered extra veg and gravy and the puddings where lovely .
  The service was informal but very pleasant . I would go again and would be pleased to do so .
  I drove past Friday night and the place was packed .

  Hi John,
  My husband had a meal there a couple of weeks ago with some of his friends and he said it's great. The food was good and plenty of it, the prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere was warm and friendly, what more could you want! lol He says he would certainly recommend it for a nice night out. Hope this helps.

  good link tom, the thing that stood out for me was that the reviews for the "arlington west" beat the much revered "la scala" which is not bad for a newish eating house.

  I went there last week, very good, can highly recommend it.
  
  Only criticism is its hard to get through on the phone to book a table and the answer phone does not tell you that you have even got through to the right place when they don't answer, just a generic message.
  
  Food was lovely, the chips were out of this world.
