Still outstanding.

Been coming here for several years and despite trying lots of restaurants, the experience here is consistently excellent. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

The dishes have such a depth of flavour and everything is cooked faultlessly. Every course made us stop and savour each mouthful. Service has also sped up recently, and staff were friendly. Despite it getting a bit more expensive in recent months, it is still worth a trip.

Have tried others eg Amelie. Not in the same league. Not even close actually. This attained a Bib Gourmand for a reason.

Absolutely fantastic food and service here. Servers are all super friendly and leave you alone just enough to have privacy while being attentive when you need them.

Chef is great and everything I’ve ever eaten here is delicious.

Had the classic order of fish and chips. The fish was nicely battered and crispy - decently sized but not huge. I asked the chips to be modified to be truffle chips (as was offered as a side order) and this was kindly accommodated for. Unfortunately these chips were a bit underwhelming, both in terms of truffle flavour (which I couldn’t really taste) and in terms of chips themselves (which were a bit soft, not very crispy and not very remarkable). We also ordered the provincial seafood stew which was okay - notwithstanding they forgot to add the potatoes to the dish until we reminded them late into the meal and this was served a separate bowl of plain boiled potatoes.

We had an enjoyable anniversary dinner.

The food was very tasty, though some bits were a tad on the cold side (whether through design or accident I'm not sure).

The service was complicated, we had a number of different people visit our table, but not the additional attention to detail that you'd expect when dining at £50 per person.

I likely won't return.
