   Way too overpriced for the quality of food and service. They’re shooting for one Michelin star here but they have a lonnnnnngggggggg way to go.

   We were very much looking forward to our dinner as we had seen Niklas Ekstedt a number of times on Saturday Kitchen and were very excited to try his food. Having emailed with the restaurant a number of times to prepare for our celebratory dinner (it was a special birthday celebration for our son and myself) and choose our menus, we were rather taken aback that our table did not have the correct menus nor were the correct amuse bouches served to our vegetarian guest, even once the menu selection had been corrected. In fact we felt that one of the front of house staff even dealt with us in rather an 'offhand' manner. We chose the tasting menus with wine pairing and very much enjoyed each course with its respective wine, particularly the New Zealand Mahi Boundary Farm Sauvignon. Our only disappointing course was the beef, which we found rather chewy. Whilst we very much enjoyed the Baked Alaska, our final disappointment was the fact that there was nothing 'special' prepared for our birthday celebrations. We would like to make a special mention of the sommelier who we thought was excellent.

    Excellent food and service. We had the Midsummer menu and it was a perfect representation of Sweden and the foods I love. Outstanding flavours and although I är first thoguht to myself that this will not fill me up, boy was I wrong. We left well fed and completely content. Both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic pairings for the meal were excellent and well worth choosing. Also highly recommend the Flambadou Oyster. Hands down the best oyster I have ever had. Will definitely bring friends and family here whenever there is opportunity.

    Our dinner at Eckstedt was a fantastic experience. The food, service and decor were all wonderful. We got the 6 course tasting menu and it was a sensually exciting meal and not too heavy (though we were STUFFED at the end). The staff was sweet, attentive and knowledgeable. Overall just an excellent time.

    The food here is outstanding, all cooked on open fire / wood oven in the restaurant and every course on the tasting was superb. Seriously talented chefs, amazing flavours and the atmosphere and decor is good. Only drawback is the service is behind the food - we had a long gap between the first two courses (think they had forgotten us and had to be nudged) and forgot the wine list. They did make up for this by topping up our glasses and a tour of the kitchen to meet the chef. With a bit of finessing on the service this would be Michelin star. Definitely go!

    The experience was extremely underwhelming. From the moment we arrived it felt as though we were being a little processed and pushed for additional purchases. As a Michelin starred experience, this was way below par. The service was sloppy and slow, and overall pretty poor. Courses taking way too much time to arrive, and then when the food did arrive the wine flight didn't, and i had to ask the staff where the wine pairing was. There were dirty glasses presented to us, the glasses for the previous course weren't cleared away before the next course was served. The dessert was terrible and not thought through, as the baked Alaska wasn't prepared properly and therefore the flavour profile was completely off due to the bitterness created by burning off the alcohol. I complained and they said they would cook another one. They brought another one and didn't clear away the first one so we had a random dessert just left in the middle of the table. The second dessert was better but not good. Ultimately it just didn't work, the accrid bitterness just threw the whole dish off and it was very unpleasant to eat, plus the middle was was frozen solid rather than just cold. Overall I was hugely unimpressed and a felt let down. It was a birthday gift to me from my Wife and we felt the whole evening was tarnished because of the poor experience, which is a shame as I am a big fan of Niklas and his food ethos, but this did not do him justice, and I think if he was there to witness it then he would have been extremely disappointed. My Wife and I have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world, so we know what to expect. This was so far off previous experiences, so I felt I had to write this to highlight the issues. I understand the landscape is tricky at present, but ultimately it isn't the problem of the customer. If the restaurant cannot deliver the standard expected then it shouldn't be charging as such. Currently Ekstedt is nowhere near good enough.

    Interesting concept with innovative food & truly great presentation. The salt content on several dishes was too much despite our prior request to limit salt. The dishes were variable some good while others were average & over thought. Overall conclusion, significantly too expensive for the experience for a restaurant aiming for a Michelin.

    Ekstedt at the YardResponded on 17 June 2022Dear Spud, Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you felt salt content was not limited as requested. We can confirm additional salt was not added in the final cooking process. A fair amount of the ingredients we use are preserved and traditionally Scandinavians have been using salt in their preparation of food methods, including fermentation which all contain salt. We hope this helps understand why the salt presence cannot be completely removed. Warmest Regards, Ekstedt at The Yard Team

    Would recommend with caveats. The food is always usnusal interesting, but loses something in translation with the adoption of British ingredients, and the slightly odd hotel restaurant decor is an odd setting for the wild exuberance on the plate.

    First time here. Warm welcome. Nice corner banquet table. We had the 3 course dinner @£80 and added an extra langoustine and waffle. Good cocktails and very wine list with some good affordable wines; we had a St Joseph blanc for £73. Lots if interesting canapés to start. Delicious langoustine, nicely cooked turbot and good beef. one small suggestion, serve the sourdough bread with the starter rather than after, then one can use it to mop up the delicious sace with the fish course as well as main. V pleasant modern baked alaska accompanied by a stunning Ch blanc desert wine from SA. Particular thanks to Klearhos the head sommelier, who was very engaging and knowledgeable, a pleasure to chat with him. All rounded off with innovative petit fours. All in all a really enjoyable evening.
