Wonderful from entrance to exit, I’d highly recommend for those that enjoy a fine dining experience. The food was exquisite and flawless and their wine list could keep you entertained for some time! An expensive but not inappropriately priced wonderful restaurant, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We’ve been previously and had the most amazing food. This time didn’t match that experience. I think to be fair, on a tasting menu, it’s luck of the draw. This time, about 50% of the food wasn’t to our taste. That said, it’s clearly well prepared and beautifully cooked. The front of house staff were discreet and accommodating at all the right moments, whilst also being friendly. The meal for two people and with three glasses of wine between the two of us was >£600.

Quite simply one of the best dining experiences you will have in this country. The food is magical, mixing flavours, textures and temperatures in an amazing way. Every course has such intense flavours it takes your breath away. Staff are attentive, friendly, interesting and helpful. Do the wine pairing: just wonderful. It’s not cheap but it’s worth every penny.
