"We had a fantastic meal at a great value of £20 for two courses, a glass of wine, and coffee. The only downside was that the restaurant was very quiet, lacking atmosphere. This may have been due to the Yorker Eating and Wine Festival happening nearby. We heard that the evenings are busier, but unfortunately, we couldn't book a table for dinner earlier in the week."

"The wine list is one of the best I've encountered, and I commend the sommelier for it. It's not just extensive and well-stocked, but also diverse, offering many standout selections. The sommelier on duty during our visit (January 19) was particularly helpful and made several high-quality recommendations. I chose a more affordable option from the menu, and it pleasantly surprised me with its quality. One critique I have is the limited menu options—at least on Thursday nights, there was only a set menu available, with a six-course option priced at £140 and an eight-course option at £180. While I understand the desire to adhere to strict Michelin standards and maintain profitability, a few more flexible choices on the menu would be appreciated. Overall, the staff was attentive and contributed positively to the dining experience."

"My mother and I had been following the Masterchef Pro comp ' last year and were really keen to sample some of the winner, Tom Hamblet 's, food. We travelled a 4 hour round trip for the experience. We don 't eat at fine dining restaurants often but we are foodies. Firstly, the setting of the restaurant is very lavish and comfortable with warm low lighting. That said, the dinner experience was a little too dark for my mother so that 's something to think about if you struggle with eyesight and low lighting. The service was friendly, attentive and speedy/efficient. The food: I 'll start with the dessert because that was a real pleasure for us. We both loved the flavours of Tom 's end of series winning dessert so the meal ended on a high (we ordered the Olive Oil sponge with lemon curd). I recommend not ruining your palette with the overly sweet petit four that are placed in front of you following dessert unfortunately ours were more sugar flavoured than any other identifiable flavour. Our starters and mains were very VERY underwhelming. They arrived looking beautiful, neat and tidy but failed to deliver on taste. I had wanted the celeriac themed starter but the waiting staff told me the vegan/veggie starters and mains were created by their head chef and not Tom. That was disappointing as his 3 month residency was the reason we 'd visited the restaurant. We ended up both having the lobster starters after the waiting staff recommended it highly as either a starter or an additional dish to share. The claw meat was minimal and tough and the foam mousse took centre stage on the plate. Whilst the plate had lots of textures to it, we felt it was unbalanced and generally with no 'wow ' to it. We enjoyed the coffee and rye bread with butter and pollen/fennel that came prior to this thought. I ordered the Guinea Fowl as a main after the waiter described it as a gamey, dark and tender meat. I feel like a better description to someone that hasn 't had guinea fowl before would be 'it 's like a chicken breast with a different flavour '. This is what arrived in front of me and I actually found it was quite dry and not dark at all! I would never have ordered anything that resembled chicken breast anyway so I felt ill informed about my choice. I also thought the girolles were overwhelmingly tart. I didn 't enjoy my main. Mum 's Hogget was nice but average for her too. Last comment I 've never in my life paid £6.50 for less than 1.5ltrs mineral water beware! I don 't care how much money you have it 's water!!!"

"Amazing delicious beautiful creation for each of the courses of this imaginative tasting menu, definitely worth reserving a table before it becomes impossible! The service complimented the food and explanations were fantastic. We had a great lunchtime experience and hope to come back soon."

"Really lovely, quality innovative food in lovely surroundings. Service good and all staff seemed to have a smile on their face. This is not a cheap restaurant, but you do get what you pay for. One minor criticism would be the wine list. I understand that wine is an opportunity for restaurants to make money, but there were a dearth of options in the £30 £40 range (let alone £20 £30). Also £5 for a bottle of water seems a bit excessive. This is a restaurant to go for a celebration. We would love to go back."
