"I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food and wine were excellent, with the scallops and jasmine tea burnt cream being the standout dishes. I was pleased to find that they offer decent wine by the carafe, which is a rare find. Unfortunately, the lunch menu is not available on Saturdays. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I highly recommend trying the scallops. Overall, it was a bit pricey at £100+ per person for lunch, but well worth it for the quality of the food and service."

Went for a business lunch want an incredible day. Start to finish. The team at the The Poet are exceptional. The food was delicious and Tom advised on the wine selection to perfection- though it should have been the bottle rather than glasses (that said the cost difference is minimal). I cannot recommend enough. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch View menu

The food, service, and atmosphere all receive top marks of 5 stars. The Sunday roast comes highly recommended. There is plenty of parking available, including free parking lot and free street parking options.

"Visited here with my partner in October First impressions were good ones, I’m a big fan of Mexican food and the menus looked as if they had a lot of choice and resonably priced, the restaurant was full with a decent atmosphere, usually a...good sign. Alarm bells started ringing when we ordered our main, calamari and an assortment of chips and dips. The calamari consisted of large, battered rings, clearly frozen (my guess is Iceland) and a mayonnaise. The chips and dips was a whole bag of cheap super market tortillas slopped on a dinner plate accompanied by shop bought hummus, sour cream and gauc. It’s a dark day when you enter a Mexican restaurant and they don’t even make their on guacamole….. even I make my own guacamole! However, we were hungry and ploughed through….. I’d like to point out at this point, I’m months pregnant and when it’s dinner time, I’ll eat anything. For mains we ordered the ginger and chilli tuna steaks which were served ‘turf and surf’ style. This means on its on griddle with a whole jar of what can only be described as uncle bens sauced shoved on top with peppers and onions. The tuna steak was extremely chewy and had a pungent smell. We couldn’t eat it. Praise the lord the the side of McCain’s oven cooked wedges which came with the dish (another whole dinner plates worth), for it was the safest thing to eat. Naturally after deciding enough was enough we asked to speak with the manager who was reluctant to help in anyway, very defensive over his frozen tuna and all in all, a bit dismissive. He did ask if he could get us anything else to eat, I’d rather raid the frozen aisle at my local Tesco thanks, and did offer us a drink on the house, to which we politely refused and asked for the bill. When we received this, the waitress announces proudly ‘here’s the bill, and we’ve given you a discount’ I pick up the paper with baited breath, what is it? Free drinks? Complimentary appetisers?? Nope! They’ve taken a whopping off our bill, which equates to approximately Bravo mariachi grill, bravo, i doth my cap to you in what I can only describe as the worst meal I’ve eaten out in a very long time."
