Heard great things about the restaurant from friends, so took the opportunity to try it with a new colleague and his wife. Exceptionally friendly service, very creative food, and modest portion sizes meant we could enjoy the completed tasting menu and not feel overly full at the end. The matching flight of wine was excellently paired with the food. Quality of food was outstanding, unusual variations on standard themes.

Such a great spot! Ideal for a date or a family gathering. The space was Elegant but comfortable, Our waitresses were warm but professional, and the food was exceptional. Elevated takes on classic dishes and all still approachable and cooked to perfection. Nice wine selection too, and all at reasonable prices. Worth the walk along the river from Cambridge!

Had a lovely lunch here. The dishes were all well balanced in flavour and thoughtfully put together, presented very nicely. Although at the more expensive end of restaurant pricing, the quality and portion size matched this, with my family leaving feeling well sated. Would definitely recommend.

The restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was superb and the staff were lovely. Every single dish on the tasting menu was delicious. I also thought the prices were quite reasonable. Perfect for a birthday celebration. Cannot wait to go back.

The most charming, wonderful little place. But the food is really next level. We couldn't have enjoyed it more. Bib gourmand kind of food, but obviously done by someone who knows how to deliver at even higher levels. Precisely what we wanted.

We came for lunch with my father, who had recently had a stroke. The staff were particularly warm and hospitable, without ever fussing. The food was excellent. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended.
