Racks
The interior of Racks comes as a bit of a surprise! The outside is nothing special, under a hotel on St Paul's Road and not in the most fashionable part of Clifton. However inside it's a cavern of small intimate tables in little rooms. It's cozy and warm and a little bit different. On a Friday evening it's really buzzing.
Unfortunately the food here is a bit unreliable. I've had lovely food and I've had mediocre food. Today I ordered the steak and Guinness pie with green beans and chips. The meat was very small and unevenly shaped chunks making me wonder a little about it's origin. I was also expecting a good rich gravy for the meat to swim in, but what I got had no hint of Guinness, was rather thinner, and rather blander than I was expecting. It was served with a small portion of green beans and portion of chips. Unfortunately this was not Racks at it's best, a rather disappointing lunch.
The service was friendly enough and is included in the final bill.
