Review:

I had a flying visit to Baltic en route to the Young Vic and enjoyed a glass of Soave with the two-course theatre menu. We had gravdalax and ham hock salad followed by duck confit with cabbage and currants and a delicious salmon and haddock fishcake.

The service was friendly and efficient; I’d like to go back when I have more time, and the location is great if you’re going to the Old Vic or Young Vic.
