    My partner & I had a wonderful lunch with you. The amuse bouches were amazing. The 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing was all perfect and pure Michelin star standard. Alice & Matt gave us very good attentive service. Thank you for a memorable experience, Helen & John. Duncan

    My wife and I had the 8 course menus with accompanying wine pairing. Both the food and wine were excellent as was the service & ambiance. We were expecting something special from a Michelin starred restaurant and certainly got it ! We will definitely return

    We had the six course set menu. Beautifully presented but three of our party were underwhelmed by the flavours. It is an expensive evening out and frankly not our best experience of late. Excellent service.

    Our lunch at Lumiere was a great experience. We had the four course lunch. The canapés were delicious and artistic. We had a sea bass starter, venison main and damson souffle. Each course was superb and meticulously presented. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We will definitely return.

    The chef produced some delicious morsels and they were tiny morsels. The six course menu produced plates of scarcely a mouthful. Both of us felt hungry at the end of the meal. The food and the wines were expensive. Food £115 for six course menu & average price for wines around £70. We felt overpriced. We wouldn’t eat there again.

    Another outstanding meal at Lumiere. Excellent service friendly, knowledgeable and without hanging around the table. We will be returning in due course to have another evening out.
