My friend and I went for a meal here recently. Given the current situation it was relatively quiet and we were shown to our table as soon as we arrived. Unfortunately there was a very big Great Dane dog by the bar owned by one of the customers which was slightly off-putting especially as the owner would let go of its lead every now and then and it would come towards our table. Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs but not in a restaurant and especially not those the size of a small horse!! Given this we did ask to move tables to get away from the onlooking dog and the staff totally understood our concerns and we moved tables. Not sure what would’ve happened if the restaurant had been busy? The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive so we can’t complain about that side of the evening. However given the bar is in the same space as the restaurant I would suggest the venue re-thinks where dogs should be allowed and ensure they are kept on their lead at all times.

Firstly, to say I love the surroundings at 185 and am usually more than happy with my meal. On Sunday the beef was lovely, very tender, cannot fault. The Yorkshire puddings were in my opinion more than a little overdone and the “roast potatoes” were very disappointing. Service was faultless though.

We were really disappointed with the quality of the food at 185. We ordered simple food ‘burgers and the salmon ‘ they were poorly presented dry and the salmon salad was watery and tasteless. Definitely gone downhill - atmosphere was also dire. Not been to 185 for some time and it’s dramatically gone downhill so won’t be back

Drinks and ambiance good but food a let down

Convenient place to meet but sadly 185 had gone down since the early days. New lunch menu but cooking not so good. Great place to meet for drinks and a chat with friends but not for the food.
