Had a wonderful meal last night celebrating the end of our daughter’s A levels. We all had the 9 course taster menu. Exceptional presentation & taste! Worth every penny for an experience that we’ll remember for years to come. Our daughter’s summary “this is the best meal I’ve ever had”
We had a 7-course meal plus an extra dish. They gave us different wines with each course, which made the food taste even better. The food was really good and we had a great time. The staff were really nice and explained everything to us. It's a bit pricey, so it's more of a special occasion place rather than somewhere you'd go all the time. Definitely come back again.
The food presentation was good, but it's overly salty and didn't justify the price compared to other Michelin-starred restaurants. The staff were attentive, and the service was pleasant.
Food was great, but a bitter taste left - having eaten at quite a few starred resultants now, I kind of know what to expect. When we arrived, nothing was explained to us, we were handed, what appeared at first inspection to be a drinks menu, only to then be asked what we’d like to eat. We asked whether there was a tasting menu, to which the chap replied “yes of course, how many courses?” We opted for the larger option, with wine pairing.
We were a party of two and over the next couple of hours food and wine came out, all tasty and well thought out. Once we’d requested the bill, we were shocked to see the price - almost £500!! Well, little did we know, the menu is ++ (plus service, plus VAT), which throws the recent publicity of “Bristol cheapest Michelin” into question!
The food was great, but was it worth someone’s monthly rent? Not at all. Service was off, food was on par with Wilson’s, but charging plus vat left a sour taste in our mouths and generally ruined the experience.

Absolutely outstanding, both the food and the service were completely faultless and it truly was an unforgettable experience. Every course brought incredible new flavours and combinations I’ve never tried before. The attention to detail was phenomenal and the skill and passion of the chefs clearly shone through in every mouthful. The service was fantastic, everyone was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and recommend to all, it really is the perfect setting to celebrate a special occasion and enjoy simply stunning food.
Loved every second of this culinary experience. Fantastic service which we can't fault and the food was just amazing - interesting ingredients, flavour combinations and textures - all presented beautifully. Would highly recommend paying extra for the sommelier - we were introduced to some absolutely delightful wines and all were perfectly paired to each course. Atmosphere was surprisingly relaxed and not too pretentious at all. We would highly recommend this restaurant to any 'foodie' who likes to try new and exciting food.
Fabulous food, beautifully presented. We enjoyed the nine course tasting menu and shared a wine flight (half a glass each - highly recommended whenever you’re having a tasting menu). The presentation of each dish and every glass of wine was passionate and knowledgeable, the flavours were great and sometimes really exciting. The restaurant took the trouble to mark the wedding anniversary we were celebrating in a very sweet way which was lovely.
As many reviewers have mentioned the pace of the service was very slow with long waits between dishes. This meant we were there for three and a half hours. Much as I enjoy savouring a meal this was far too long.
Overall we enjoyed our experience. The quality of the food (which would clearly take a huge amount of time, effort and skill to produce) justified the price tag.

A culinary experience, that's for sure!
Staff were brilliant, service was great. We were given complimentary drinks too when we arrived due to having a nightmare day and we weren't sure if we were going to make it so that was also lovely of them to do that.
Went for the 9 course tasting menu, and a wine flight each.
Would recommend the wine flight with the courses, some of the flavour combinations were just brilliant and the wine really helped bring the dishes together.
I'd say don't go in expecting anything, as whatever you think you're going to get, it will be served in a way you're not expecting!
