We visited CDJ on Sunday. It’s a beautiful restaurant and the decor is amazing. I have been to the previous restaurant on several occasions and have always had a fantastic meal. We ordered starters which we thoroughly enjoyed and then we had the roast dinners. I opted for the beef and my husband and son had the lamb. The beef (pink) was perfect, the lamb shanks had plenty of meet on that fell off the bone. We order a side of cauliflower cheese which was plenty for the three of us as there were plenty of vegetables. I would say that it is the best roast I have had for a long time. The only downside that I would mention is that although the playlist was fantastic it was very loud. The volume did go up on a few of the songs which was quite unbearable. I do wear hearing aids and struggled to hear the waitresses. Also when having a meal you would appreciate being able to talk to people on your table without raising your voices. I have spoken to a couple of people who have visited and they also mentioned that the music was far too loud. I really hope this can be rectified as we can’t wait to revisit as the food is superb.
