One of the best fine dining establishments we have been too. Hence why we do return. Food not only is presented beautifully and looks like an art form but tastes amazing. We just never want the experience to end. Service always so friendly and very efficient. Last two occasions when being seated we requested a change in seating only due to our preferences and each time they were happy to fulfil our request. Thank you to all at The Box Tree …. We look forward to our next visit.

Not my first visit to The Box Tree which is always excellent, but genuinely feel this was the best all-round experience I've had there. The food was superb from the tasters of chicken liver parfait on crispy chicken skin and the parmesan custard with onion, through the wonderful agnolotti of goat's curd with wild garlic and asparagus to the pork main (beautiful silk sauce) and a fabulous chocolate pre-dessert with amazing textures and contrasts of temperature. The final Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Mille-Feuille with strawberries and macadamia nut ice cram was fabulous. We had the wine pairing with it, expertly explained by the wine waiter, all excellent matches with the food (especially the Kika chenin blanc with dessert!). The service was, as ever, top notch, great attention to detail and my partner and I were completely relaxed throughout the whole experience. Highly recommended.
