Maris

A group of us had a very good meal at Maris.   Maris was quite renowned a few years back, but for some reason doesn't seem to be quite as "in" these days.  Perhaps it's a little out of the way.  However,  if our meal is anything to go by, the standards have been maintained.   

I had the crab soup, which came with a little side dish of prawns, followed by the roast duck flavoured with juniper and other things, which was great (and I don't usually eat duck).   I think everyone else also enjoyed their meals, with the slow roasted  lamb in particular coming in for favourable comment.  

The prices were OK value for what we got, and the service was professional.   We liked the fact that you can BYO (even though corkage is $9 per bottle), although the wine list appeared to include a varied and interesting selection.
