Loved everything about it! Friendly courteous service. Delicious beautifully presented dishes - everything was good and had a special something. Dishes are pretty small so if you are hungry you need to order 3-4 dishes each - we went pretty wild on the menu and got more but left pleasantly stuffed. I appreciated that the menu gave clear information on that so there were no surprises as to the portion size. There was seating both inside and outside and both were bright relaxing spaces. Would definitely go again - in fact we may even go back this week. Apparently the dishes on the menu change fairly frequently so we’re looking forward to trying some new dishes.

Visited this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Absolutely fantastic service and excellent food. Presentation was amazing - definitely a memorable evening for us. The prawns, steak and pork are a must try! Wines were matched brilliantly with the food.

While a couple of dishes stood out, overall, the food and service were satisfactory at best, bordering on mediocre. Even as a resident of London, I find the pricing unjustified considering the quality of the experience.

The initial dishes, including sourdough with marmite butter and scallops, were delightful. However, subsequent dishes failed to meet expectations. The chicken terrine lacked presentation, the buffalo chicken was overly tough, and the carrots were soggy and sour. The pork belly was particularly disappointing with a very unpleasant smell; thankfully, the restaurant was willing to take it back and not charge us for this dish. Except the pork belly, we felt hesistent to feed back as we were never asked whether we liked the food until we asked that the pork belly be returned to the kitchen. The rhubarb dessert, although decent ingeneral, came with dry rhubarb and cream with minimal vanilla beans.

We were gravely concerned about the apparent lack of food safety knowledge of a particular waiter. Our request for dessert sooons was met by the said waiter taking utensils from another table with customers waiting for their food without even first asking them, which we found unprofessional. Proper practice should be providing clean cutlery from designated drawers.

We do not recommend this restaurant. Surely there are better options available in the area that offer superior quality, potentially at a lower cost, and with better service.

"Small plates restaurant" becomes more and more popular concept nowadays. But the Gaff still does it better than most I've been to. It's a mix of different flavors, but out of 7 dishes, we didn't have a single that I would consider weak or boring. Oyster tempura were very interesting, so is bang-bang cauliflower, so are Moroccan carrots. You'll be surprised even by fishes you think you know well, like the sweet&sour duck.
All in all, great dinner, super friendly service by Kelsey, very happy that we picked that restaurant for our first night in Abergavenny !
