"We went here on 3 September. If my review was only about the food, I 'd give five stars, as it was excellent value for money at £25 for five small courses on the 'total trust ' menu. It 's certainly worth that price and more. My only criticism concerning the food was the lack of variety. I know the whole point is to put 'total trust ' in the chef, but three fish courses was a little excessive. This didn 't bother me as I love fish, but my mum, who I was dining with, was a little disappointed. The service had a lot of glitches. We really couldn 't understand the man who was serving us, but that 's nobody 's fault, of course, and we would never be critical just for that, but there were other problems. I got given the wrong wine to start, but it was perfectly pleasant, so I didn 't say anything, thinking that it was just a one off error. We then ordered bread and butter when he came over to the table it never came for 20 minutes, during which time other people had ordered the same thing with other waiters after us and got it. He clearly hadn 't put the order in and we had to chase it up. I was asked if I wanted 'cheese or dessert for my final course ' and I picked cheese he had to come over and tell me that it wasn 't available on the menu and that he made a mistake, which is fine, but it was then made clear that I would have gotten both and that the cheese was just an additional course, which wasn 't made clear originally. I also ordered a double espresso to finish my meal, but when it came it was a single. I mentioned this to another woman passing who rectified the situation. My mum thought she overhead the waiter saying 'he said a single, not a double ', but I can verify this, however I can say that I definitely didn 't say that. The man who made all the mistakes said that the espresso was on the house, but, somewhat predictably at this point, it was added to our bill. We enjoyed the aspect of guessing what ingredients were in each dish and being told by the waiter how much of it we got right or wrong. The waiter said we got everything right on one of the courses but then also said the table next to us got everything right on the same course, despite having two different answers. It seems a shame to come up with an interactive and novel concept only to have one waiter who appeared not bothered enough to actually look at our answers properly. We might go back as the other waiting staff seemed excellent and the food was very good, but we 'll not be in any rush..."

"beautiful restaurant good menu and eat. the restaurant was very busy, but had a good ambiente. it's easy to move because tables beautifully apart and good layout in restaurant. booked on Friday for 3 and partner had gluten-free menu. it is not on the website as a printed option is given at the arrival. this is very clear with which gf are and which can have a gf option. partner is always comprehending that fried menu points are the worst for cross-contamination, but our meal times did not cause any reaction. we all had appetizers and nets that came out immediately, although a very large table was served around the same time. all were hot, well portioned and presented and waiting personal cared with gf option, as 1 was normal. I had a frito mistake, which had a nice selection of seafood and had muddles for the main thing. both were well seasoned and looked nice. partner and friend had both lamm, a gf option and were really good. lamb was served with roasted polnta chips with vegetables. everything was really well cooked. cocktails were good. each 2 rounds ordered and they came fast, although it was so busy. they had a nice classic/temporary selection and they were good value, along with a few signatures. gluten-free storage was also available. had not dessert as for time, but menu looked good out of place looked flawless and toilets were clean and modern. menu was quite large, so defo will try the rest soon. there is a connected separate activated bar and functional room, but its well separated from the restaurant. I can't wait to come back."
