"We had reserved for our wedding anniversary dinner for 7.30pm on a Sunday evening. On arrival, the table we were offered was not acceptable and we were reluctantly given a quieter, more suitable one. Service was initially prompt, knowledgeable and cheerful. The house wines by the glass were good value. Our starters, a cheese souffle and steak tartare, were excellent. My wife chose the beef bourguignon which was OK but my belly pork Cassoulet was disappointing. It was too dry, the sausage was tough and clearly not a typical Toulouse saucisson and there was a surplus of bread crouton. My dessert, an Almond financier, was superb. By about 9pm, the restaurant was nearly empty and our waitress was replaced by a scruffily dressed manager who clearly wanted to close as soon as possible which gave a disappointing feeling to the end our meal. I would recommend this restaurant but advise against a late Sunday reservation and to try to book a table as close to the river as possible!"

"The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the bruschetta starter which was fresh and full of flavor with perfect texture. All the dishes we tried were outstanding, but the standout was the half chicken with dips. While not the cheapest option, the quality of the food makes it reasonable value for money. However, our experience was marred by poor service - despite multiple attempts to get the attention of waitstaff, it took four of them to finally bring us a glass of house red during our main course. In contrast, the gentleman next to us received his glass of water within 30 seconds. This made us feel like second-rate customers and unfortunately, it overshadowed the excellent food. While we commend the chef, it's a shame that their hard work is let down by others. Despite this, our experience may not be typical and so I have left a rating of 4 stars."

"I entered The New Inn, Salisbury, yesterday seeking retreat from the pouring rain and to meet my son after work. I was served at the bar by Harry. I sat on a lovely leather sofa with my book. Harry brought my drink to the table then proceeded to light the fire for me. I was very grateful for his thoughtfulness; the day was wet cold, and the fire was appreciated. My son and I spent a lovely two hours chatting and enjoying the atmosphere and warmth of this charming old pub with its beamed ceilings and large fireplace. I'd like to especially thank Harry who was welcoming, friendly and professional and helped to make my afternoon very enjoyable. I recommend The New Inn to everybody cosy in the winter, a lovely beer garden overlooking the cathedral Close on sunny days."

"Changes over the last few years have left a hole in the vegetarian options. In my mind, this is an expensive place to eat with robotic, emotionless staff. Maybe I came on a bad day; however, there is no excuse when your pricing is on the premium side. Vegetarian options: Last time I came here, I was very impressed. Tonight's visit left me not in the best of moods. Vegetarian options are only available on dishes where they can simply omit the meat option, yet they charge the same price."

"J'ai emmené mon partenaire à Anokaa pour son anniversaire, j'y étais allé plusieurs fois mais il ne l'avait pas fait et cela n'a pas déçu.La nourriture était exceptionnelle, des portions parfaites et tellement savoureuses! Le personnel était super accueillant, sympathique et arrangeant. Je n'hésiterais pas à recommander Anokaa ou à y retourner. Incroyable"
