    • 1992, David Kemp, The Pleasures and Treasures of Britain, page 249:
      Tables in the courtyard and a nice restaurant. Even the pub part has a restauranty feel. I really like it.

      Meanwhile the food at the Parakeet is really quite, well, restauranty. Which isn’t an adjective, but should be.
