"First time I’ve tried this restaurant, attracted by the word fusion. Also I’m a vegetarian and the veggie menu looked so amazing (not usually the case) so I was keen to try it out. BTW they even do vegan food unheard of in Belfast. Though fish and meat are also prominently featured on the menu. I had toasted paneer with a coconut sauce and lentil and chickpea type of patty with beetroot coulis absolutely delish! My friend had the chicken with rosemary and was equally impressed. Staff very friendly and easy to get their attention. And all reasonably priced. Lovely vibe in the place would highly recommend and will definitely be back!"

"Came here for a Sunday roast. Overall we enjoyed our meal here. £20 for two courses was much better value than most places. The starters we ordered arancini and calamari were tasty and well sized. We ordered the beef and pork roasts. Serving size was very good. Lots to enjoy on the plate. The beef was very good, had a delicious taste and cooked just right. The trimmings were all cooked well, although would have preferred the potatoes more crispy. Gravy was a bit thin too. Cauliflower cheese was delicious, very rich and cheesy. The Yorkshire puddings also very well done. Service was good. Atmosphere somewhat lacking due to a very quiet day. But it didn’t take anything from the experience. Happy to recommend and we will be returning."

"we celebrated our sons, so we wanted to impress something. the service was excellent and the ambiente was good. classic eating, nothing to fancy. all our decisions were very good, well prepared and presented. the only one settled down, our soufflé star, it was quite bland and not very hot. other than that would definitely come back for a special occlusion."

"Our experience at the restaurant was good, but it was slightly spoiled by a family with two young children who were loud, walking around, and not well disciplined by their parents. We had chosen to dine here instead of going to the local Wetherspoons in order to celebrate my wife's birthday in a peaceful setting. Despite mentioning my wife's birthday when booking the table, it was unfortunately not acknowledged during our visit."

"Simply the best roast dinner of my life Everything was so superlative I had to force myself not to eat fast. Each individual item on the plate was the best of its kind I have ever had. Before you think I am a friend of the restaurant owners I am visiting from England and went with friends : Met at the door by a lovely gent who sat us and took our drinks order. Served by others who were non Intrusive and only interested in making our meal an excellent experience. I cannot explain how amazing the roast was. The meat was perfection, the honey flavoured veg was divine. The potatoes were unlike any I have ever had. Now the “Skirlie” I have neither seen nor eaten before. What a treat!! It was like the chef wanted to show off and this was his opus. Simply brilliant from start to finish. I am positive I will never have a better roast dinner Amazing work to all involved Thank you. Peter “The American” living in England."

"Great meal attentive and friendly service, beautiful setting and fantastic wine list. I got served prosecco in an old fashioned champagne boat which I loved. We had the lobster burger menu which is a pretty good deal for £15.50 for a whole lobster. Only slight criticism is it was a touch cold and the portions of chips are very small (but probably the size we should be eating! . The desserts are incredible! Best I've had in ages, really inventive. Only thing was the whole thing was about £40 a head which is a lot. But the wine was good and we had two courses..."

"to whom this may concern.... me and my husband booked a table on 5th jan at 22.30 for our anniversary expecting that we would have a 3 course meal. we even got there earlier to have a drink in your bar, so when we turned up a waiter finally came over to tell us that we wouldnt get served, after asking why and getting no explaination he gets a manager to talk to us to tell us we r only entitaled to a main meal, i dont get why you would take a booking at that time if your not willing to serve, theres so many lovely restaurants in beckenham and we thought we would try yours, wished we hadnt have wasted our time now, the service is discusting, and i certainly will not be recommending you to anyone. your sincerley victoria lotay"

"Amazing view which made for a pleasant visit. Staff were super friendly and efficient. Sadly food was disappointing. I had the chicken liver parfait which was really good apart from the bread could have done with more toasting as it all felt one texture. Then I had the lamb which was delicious but Luke warm and the gravy had made the carrot puree too runny. My friend had the beef roast but had the same issues. Plates were cold and so was her gravy so she had to send it back. I followed it up with a panacotta which had great flavour but was the wrong texture and the rhubarb was so tough I couldn't cut it. It was a shame because it was small things that spoilt our visit even though it was tastey."

"For our main course, we both had steak, and it was delightful; they truly serve the best steaks I've ever had. However, I ordered dauphinoise potatoes on the side, which turned out to be extremely dry and tasteless, resembling boiled sliced potatoes with a crispy top instead of the creamy goodness I expected. We also ordered a side of mixed vegetables, but they forgot about it. We assured them it was no problem if it would take a while, but they ultimately prepared it, arriving only after I had finished my meal. When we spoke to the waiter, he mentioned that the usual chef was absent (as we had requested something from an old menu), so I suspect these mix-ups were due to a new chef or perhaps a less experienced one working on Wednesdays. Overall, we were quite dissatisfied with our meal, but we’ve enjoyed the restaurant in the past, so we will return—just not on a Wednesday!"

"We had a fantastic lunch here to celebrate a birthday. We were made to feel really special from the moment we entered to the moment we left even though they were very busy. The food was first class, some of the best fish dishes we have ever tasted. Top quality produce served with flair and finesse. Expect to pay at least double in London for this quality. All staff were on the same page, helpful, aware, happy and knowledgeable. A real treat."

"It was a sunny evening, so it was quite busy, especially outside. Yet there was only one member of staff to serve everyone. She was friendly but didn't know what she was doing. We had to wait very long for everything. Food didn't arrive at the same time. When she gave us our menus, she also handed us the set menu lunch menu, I asked if we could still order from that because it was after seven, she said it was all fine so we ordered from the set menu (normally we don't order a starter, but we assumed the portions would be smaller because the price was considerably less than the same dishes on the normal a la carte menu). Even though the main was supposed to come with a side, we forgot to order and we were never told to pick one. Once the food finally arrived (two dishes were exactly the same, but one came about 5-7 min later than the other) we couldn't bother asking for our sides because it would probably take another hour. We also decided not to order coffee or dessert because of the long wait. In the end my mum went inside to pay because no one seemed to be serving us anymore. When she showed me the receipt when we got home I was shocked to see that we were charged full price for every dish and not the set menu prices. We had very small portions and no sides. At this point I couldn't be bothered to go back or contact them about it, also because we felt bad for the waitress who had to everything on her own and was friendly. The location is great, but it's overpriced and bad service. I wouldn't go back unless this changes."

"Buy all accounts the previous reviews, the real kitchen skill evident in the delicious starters, and the courteous discussion with the owner/chef, this would normally be a five star across the board review. Unfortunately we dined on an evening when inadequate temporary front of house staff (and one main course that we returned) resulted in a less that perfect experience. Our starters (Korean Crab Octopus stir fry, Seared Scallops) were terrific the complex flavours and presentation spoke of a truly gifted and skilled hand in the kitchen. When we returned the undercooked main, there were no quibbles and we were quickly offered apologies and an alternative and, on opting to have a further starter (Crab Delica Pumpkin Ravioli), we received a double portion by way of compensation: this was again excellent and very much appreciated. However, the fact that we (two)were the only diners in the restaurant but had long waits for each course to arrive, emphasised the organisational glitches, which the owner/chef subsequently explained. I'm sure that these issues are not the norm, and this restaurant will provide a really good experience. Please try all the starters if you possibly can."

"Sadly not the best experience here. I asked for a mocktail and was met with a blank face after waiting a lot time to get served for drinks. Our table was late and our meal came out incorrect after specific requests for meat to be cooked through (pregnant woman) and had to be sent back. This meant we couldn’t eat together. No apology from the chef or management and no reflection of this in the bill. Not currently worth the hefty price tag to eat there sadly. Disappointed and won’t be back in a hurry."

"I have dined at this restaurant on several occasions previously and had a very positive experience, which was the case again on this visit. The decor and ambience is very understated and elegant and the atmosphere is relaxed with friendly and motivated staff. On this occasion, I felt the service at the beginning was a little slow in terms of acquiring menus and taking orders. This was possibly due to multiple tables all ready to order at the same time, one main waiter that I could see, (there may have been more) and not wanting to overwhelm the kitchen. Having said that, both the waiter and Manager were very professional and attentive when you did require service. I had the 3 course set lunch menu which was great value, a high standard of cooking and a generous portion size. My friend chose from the al a carte menu and she declared that her roasted cauliflower dish was truly delicious, so full flavour and beautifully presented. We did not feel rushed during our visit having spent approximately 2 and half hours over lunch and the settlement of the bill was easy and correct. The restaurant is spotless as are the restrooms and it is very clear that the Manager and his team take great pride in making their clients experience a positively memorable one. This restaurant deserves it's many accolades and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for good authentic food and friendly service."

"When it comes to eating out at the moment, my life has become a little crazy, impulsive and damn right greedy – not to mention the dreaded weight gain which comes with it. Being all so busy eating, drinking and writing about food however does have some perks (apart from the obvious). You get to meet interesting new people, top chefs and some influential critics – the weight gain is worth all of that alone. Another unexpected thing that happens is you end up finding yourself a “safe haven” where you can forget about everything and relax – for me that has become Augustine Kitchen. I may have written about this place twice before already but if you go back through the reviews, read the content and look at all the photos you’ll see just how far this restaurant and its head chef/owner Franck Raymond has come. A group of friends and bloggers alike all came here one saturday (through my demands) so I could show them exactly what they’re missing – plus it was an excuse to drink buckets of chilled Champagne at noon."

"today, some colleagues visited and I am am amazed at a free lunch for the second time, as our work Christmas was so terrible. I wish we hadn't. Christmas celebration (main points or we will be here all day. shocking service no waiting staff long wait for pre ordered eating from set menu, between starter and dinner 1.5 hours and dinner and dessert another 1.5 beverage order had never arrived bar to lack it from the netzen including kartoffels horrific desserts some large few little bits about cooked some not cooked at all. lunch today (only 4 employees came the others did not want to waste their time very bad service, was not asked if eating was in order, not asked if we wanted more drinks, that was dropped and spilts over the whole place. cold eating blue bark, if said, would be more rarer table beside us complaining too. the personal runs like headless chickens like the Christmas party. at the end we had tired of waiting for our drinks bill, went out and paid at the bar. I can certainly say I will not come back, I will not receive my high time here and I will never recommend this place. what a waste of money to have a bad call. as a local person and business owner I am very disappointed and can recommend much better places for them to spend their hard money. I'm sorry that the woman is getting married here next week, much luck her and I hope we gave her enough warning to ensure that the team has correct staff levels and skills before the big day. they can't even be finished with a Sunday roast."

"It was fine, but not sure what all the rave reviews are about. Menu was basic the 'fixed choice all year round so we 're going to print it as your placemat ' type which always makes me smile. Disappointed not to see a specials board, if only to indicate the chef tries out new seasonal dishes. Food was pleasant but for the price I didn 't think it was great value. We had a camembert to share to start and fish (tuna/sea bass) for main. Cooked nicely but lacking flavour. Decided to skip pudding! Service was good. But other than one other couple, we were the only ones on a Friday night, so you 'd expect it to be I suppose. Overall, have had better meals in Poole."
