We went to Indigo (yard) on a saturday night for a 8:30 sitting, it had a great atmosphere and the food was pretty good. Had mixed platter to share for starters (perfect for 2)and then the Salmon and the Tuna for mains. The Tuna was overcooked, despite a request for it to be med-rare, but lack of check-back and busy staff meant that I did not get to send this back. Chocolate desert was nice. When ordering wine, worth asking if they have any Bin-ends, as we got a bottle for £10 instead of £17.
