The setting is relaxed, the staff friendly and very well informed, and the 8-course tasting menu (with an extra cheese course) is amazing. There was not a single course that we didn’t really like (rarely happens even in a 3- or 4-course meal), and the accompanying wines were excellent. Certainly the meal was of Michelin-star quality. All in all, this was an amazing and really enjoyable dinner. We will be back – and will also try to make an excuse to try Stuart Ralston’s other (new) fine-dining experience at Lyla.

Everything else from that point onwards (including the two main courses) was a disappointment. The fish course was overcooked, the duck course was undercooked. The staff didn’t even bother to remedy the situation. Very disappointed given the more than 500 GBP bill for a dinner for 2

Every course was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely delicious. Paired wines complimented the food perfectly.

The food was nice enough, the service professional and the surroundings pleasant but there was something missing. The food lacked flavour and balance, the way it was served often made it difficult to eat, there was a lack of continuity of service with different wait staff for each course, the paired wines were really underwhelming and the sense of being in a hotel lobby made it difficult to relax. It felt like style over substance but obviously we’re in a minority here so maybe we were having an off day.
