Customer Review Summary
Complaints are few but specific. One reviewer objected to a discretionary service charge printed in tiny letters at the bottom of the bill, and a group of four on a Tuesday night found one diner's duck forgotten while everyone else ate. Their table shared food, and the restaurant brought a couple of free desserts.

“We were a group of 4 on a Tuesday night for dinner. Wine was great, we all ordered- I ordered the duck. The 3 other people in our group were served their dinners, waitress never said anything about my dinner. Finally got her attention, seems they forgot my order. They were willing to get it going, but it would take too long and everyone would be done. Everyone at my table starting giving me some of their dinner. I didn't get my Duck, but a taste of other items. They did give us a couple of free deserts. I did not leave hungry.”

“Very accommodating at seating us earlier than out 20:00 booking. We were shown to a nice table close to the windows as the sun was setting so nice natural lighting. I had the gin pickled mackerel for starter and my wife had the tomatoes and pesto salad. Both delicious. We shared a bottle of the Portuguese Red. Goes down a treat. Then mains were the steak and and pork loin. Equally delicious. Service was fast and friendly and highly recommended a visit.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was presented beautifully, with so much attention to detail on every single plate. The flavors were incredibly fresh and vibrant. My favorite part of the meal was the tender meat served with perfectly cooked green peas. I was also very impressed by the dessert, which featured lovely pieces of poached fruit served over a bed of crunchy oat-like topping. Every bite was a delight.”

“New Spring menu is amazing! This gem of a restaurant has done it again with the Spring menu. Firstly, the staff are wonderful - attentive but not overly. Talented chef! We both had tempura broccoli and fennel- Tempura of Tenderstem Broccoli and Fennel, Thai Green Curry Sauce, Toasted Coconut Shavings Fresh spring Vegetables coated in a crispy batter, sit with a fiery coconut sauce made with green chillis and coriander. Toasted coconut adds aroma and flavour whilst a broccoli and sesame puree balances the spice - delicious. Then he had the lamb Roast Lamb Rump, Slow Cooked Shoulder Wellington, Buttered Lettuce Heart Lamb Rump, roasted and served pink, is paired with a wellington made with slow cooked shoulder wrapped in a herb crepe and a pea duxelle, all encased in golden puff pastry. A buttered lettuce heart adds bitterness to contrast the sweet lamb and peas and I had pork - Pork Tenderloin, Crispy Sesame Prawn Toast, Char Siu Pork Belly, Bok Choi Their twist on a surf and turf, Tender pork fillet is served with pork belly cooked in hoi sin, soy and rice wine vinegar. A prawn toast adds texture to the dish whilst Bok choi adds a freshness. Puddings were divine- rhubarb and custard and a baked cheesecake yum. Not too sweet and both delicious. Bottle of Merlot and a great supper out again. This please is so good. Use it.”
