Overall, it was good but since we had most amazing food experience in Barcelona and it was 2 Micheline star restaurant, we really expected more. Food was very good, deserts i cant even remember, and wine ok. Service was amazing, everyone very polite, however for 1000£ dinner we really expected more.

I booked a dinner at 9:30pm with my partner to celebrate (the only available table for two was either 6:30pm or 9:30pm). The tasting menu was delicious as always—Claire’s dishes never disappoint but perhaps somewhat lack the wow factor as before. The potato was perfectly cooked, both firm and tender, and the duck was equally tasty. However, the service felt rushed, which was a bit frustrating and dampened the experience. For example, the waitress was clearing my plate before I had even set down my spoon. It felt like the staffs were eager to finish up, possibly because it was a Thursday night, but that shouldn't affect diners. If that’s the case, perhaps consider moving the last seating time earlier.

As expected absolutely wonderful. We chose one of the Classics and one of the Seasons tasting menus and it’s easy to share them. Each dish was delicious. Especially the potato and roe dish was amazing!! The staff is so sweet and helpful :)

Fantastic service and food from start to finish. The staff were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. The food was amongst the best we have ever eaten. The wine pairing was outstanding. It is also nice to see and meet the chef Clare Smyth. She deserves every accolade that goes with this 3 star Michelin restaurant. Many thanks, it will stay with us forever.

It is always a lot to eat here. The food is exceptional and well presented. The staff explain every dish. The drinks list is great although I suspect it is better value for money to go with the flight of wines. An unforgettable experience.

Exceptional food. Wine recommendation was excellent and as it was the last bottle we got it slightly cheaper too! Service was great, everyone so friendly and Clare greeted us as we walked in too. As it was a late lunch service we felt we were a little neglected towards the end of the meal but made up for it when we sat in the bar at the end of the meal. The stand out for us was letting us have one of the menu options each and swapping out one dish too which made it very unique and special.
