    Fantastic as always. The salmon starter was so much more refined then anywhere else and the venison main course was the best venison I’ve eaten this year. Really enjoyed the banana souffle too. And such a good wine list

    Unfortunately incredibly poor. We’d booked for a Christmas Eve meal expecting at least reasonable quality food and service. The starters were bland and cold, the steaks were practically still walking, and the staff clearly didn’t want to be there and spent the whole time chatting by the kitchen. Not what you expect and won’t be going back.

    A beautiful restaurant - relaxing surroundings -wonderful food cooked to order using fresh ingredients hence a small menu. The down side for me is the gratuity charge added at the end. I. Simply don’t like it. I think we should be able to make our own decisions about the tip and it not be an assumption.

    All of the meat was dry and lacking flavor. Soufflé was just mush. I have a fairly small appetite but left hungry. Staff were superb. Food massively let this place down. It was our 2nd visit and unfortunately it will be our last. Not a patch on the Elderflower and food was less enjoyable than majority of places in Lymington or Milford. Very disappointing.
