good kitchen and terminal service

Excellent food and an even better service.

The food, views and service were all absolutely top notch!

We visited for lunch to celebrate our anniversary and had the 8 course surprise menu. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The lobster dish is genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It was great to chat to James and hear about the how they prepare and create the menu. For a Michelin starred restaurant there were some great wines at a reasonable price too. The service was reallly good, as was the atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic dinner,Highly recommend

Well worth a visit (or more). Will return again soon. Recommended...

Incredible spot for some of the best food in the area

Lovely place to eat and great atmosphere would definitely recommend going

Excellent place to eat. Would highly recommend

Amazing place to eat lovely staff and amazing food definitely be returning

Really enjoyed it - great atmosphere and very attentive.

Location and people are amazing. Food is great. Lovely food

I had an amazing experience , The food was fantastic, and the customer service was brilliant

The food quality and atmosphere were bang on. My girlfriend and I were so grateful to discover this place ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Amazing experience, well worth the trip

Lovely place, amazing staff, great food

This experience was unique for us, as we could watch the chefs working and preparing food while we ate.

Loved it, Had the 8 course menu and each one was better than the last, also a cheese course, very relaxed and calm atmosphere, can’t wait to go again. The wine pairings were spot on too , they even do a non alcoholic wine pairing if you are driving 👌

Wonderful, yes expensive, but when you see the work that goes into the preparation and presentation, when you taste the food it is so well worth it. Service superb. An experience not to be missed

Absolutely fantastic dining experience, superb service , expensive? Yes. Worth every penny ? Yes without a doubt. Anyone who has written a poor review of this restaurant has made a mistake and placed it on the wrong site. Thank you all the staff ar Home

What a great evening we had at Home, from the second we rang the doorbell to gain entry until the last sip of wine it was a wonderful experience. Food, wine and service was incredible and the atmosphere was intimate and relaxing. Every one of the 8 courses on the tasting menu was exquisite and really lived up to our expectations. Thanks to everyone at Home for making this such an enjoyable evening, can't wait to go back .

Had a fantastic evening in home last night, James, his daughter and the rest of the team are so accommodating and took the time to speak to every table throughout the night, loved the restaurant and the dishes were all delicious, would highly recommend

Poor service we arrived 5 minutes early and it was raining we were told the restaurants was not ready so we were left out in the rain which was a bad start , the taster menu was ok some courses were excellent some were poor . I eat out in good restaurants regulary and this menu for the price was disappointing the bill came to over £430 for 2 people and we only had 2 glasses of average wine for this sort of money i would expect the food to be out of this world not average .

Fabulous afternoon watching how they make the 4 course taster menu and then sampling the food Amazing food and wine Excellent ambience

Truly the best food I have ever had, and one of the most welcoming, enjoyable atmospheres of any restaurant I have ever been to. Cannot recommend it enough.

Incredible night out. Thank you so much we will be back!

Sadly it was just good and for us it was the weakest Michelin Restaurant we experienced. Dry sage leaves were put in almost every meal, which I’m not a fan, and it was a lot of salt. And don’t get me wrong I do like salt, but I was thinking that every plate will give me something new, and after mainly salty taste everywhere I was thinking that maybe it’s a preparation for really sweet dessert, but apple variation wasn’t really sweet, which make me sad about whole experience. You might think that dark atmosphere is nice, but it makes food look less colourful, less sexy and less vibrant - which influence your experience imo. Maybe cover eyes dinner would work better. Plus for fresh truffles which you can buy if you want and for interesting and diverse tableware. Nice and eloquent waiter. Intimate atmosfer which just few tables.

An absolutely amazing place. The food is delectible, the team are awesome. Definitely give it a try, you will not be disappointed. Thank you 😊

Had a wonderful meal here for my mum's 70th. The food was excellent, the welcome and service warm and friendly. The décor was very stylish, a really relaxed atmosphere to enjoy such high quality food.

Home is second to none. I have never experienced such intimacy in a restaurant. James and his staff were so thoughtful and their knowledge of the food and wine, very commendable. You could see the food being prepared in the open kitchen. No rushing, no panicking, just mellow. James made us feel like he had known us for ages. A massive thumbs up from us both.

Beautiful atmosphere 5* service and the food absolutely stunning. A perfect birthday 🎉

We came to Home and had a 4 course tasting menu over lunch! From the moment you enter you know this is going to be an experience! The kitchen is set in the middle with tables all around! You are going to watch a show and then eat the results! This was a wonderful touch being able to see how they worked and how the plates came together, each course then served with ingredients explained and presented with precision. Yes the food can be rich and indulgent but I would expect that for the luxury you are having! You have to be prepared to try new things as it is all served as a surprise! You need to go beyond your own preconceptions. I think it’s always great to try something new! Drinks wise we didn’t do the pairings as that pushed our budget whilst we didn’t miss out the drinks themselves are pricey but I suppose that’s expected in a Michelin restaurant. Lovely touch with James coming over and talking with you as well and he was very generous with his time! The petit fours were a lovely surprise and a lovely way to end the meal! Definitely a treat and wouldn’t say no to going back!

Have wanted to experience a Michelin star restaurant for ages and finally got the chance last week. From the moment me and my fellow foodie best friend arrived, we were made to feel like VIP guests. We had the 8 course taster menu and chose to add on the optional cheese course and I can honestly say it was the best food I’ve ever eaten. Each course was served to us either by James Sommerin personally or by one of his team, and everyone was so friendly and so knowledgeable about the food. The timing of each course was perfect, and the menu being a surprise and only presented to you (signed) afterwards was a nice touch and added to the magic of the evening. I also loved the ambience inside - there are only 8 or 9 tables and thick dark curtains block out the outside world which makes it feel very private and cosy and really makes the food and service the stars of the show. It’s definitely not a cheap night out, but it was worth every penny!

FABULOUS DELICIOUS INNOVATIVE FOOD AMAZING SERVICE PERFECTO Great to finally find a brilliant restaurant in Cardiff by far THE BEST we shall return

Sublime and excellent for vegans. Fine dining of the best kind, posh with no pretentiousness.

We had a meal at the Restuarant "HOME"on February 14th, to celebrate both St Valentines Day and my birthday. The staff were attentive, pleasant and courteous as was James himself. All courses were served beautifully and the contents of the dish explained. We had an 8 course taster menu plus canapes for £135 each, this was further increased by £15 each for a choux bun filled wiith truffle cream and grated truffle over the top, The early courses including the canapes were delicious and exquisite in flavour and appearance. The Jerusalem artichoke and mushroooms was incredibly tasty and you could have easily eaten more. Salcombe crab on a finger of crumpet with spiced butter and coriander was equally amazing in flavour. Hispi cabbage with black garlic, smoked blaenavon cheddar and cauliflower again stunning flavour. Liquid pea ravioli with crispy serrano ham and sage, and parmesan had superb flavour, again you could have easily eaten several of these. The cod with white beans, hazlenut oil and crispy cavalo nero was quite bland with both the cod and the beans having little flavour and a combination that was a little sickly for me. The majority of courses were served with a foam, sabayon, or creamy addition which after a while became rich and sickly. The course with the chicken stuffed with truffle mousse and served with crispy chicken skin and other accompaniments was quite bland, lacking seasoning and flavour. The crispy chicken skin was tasteless, chewy and could have been from anything ! This was served with the additional course of choux bun filled with truffle mousse and topped with freshly grated truffle was not the flavour I expected and disappointing. Maybe after all the previous distinct and exquisite flavours of the previous courses affected my taste ? The dessert courses, one of which again, was a creamy concoction of ice cream and italian meringue with pink rhubarb slivers and ginger, the rhubarb being so tart with the hit of ginger and quite hard was not a pleasant combination. I felt the rhubarb could have been more tender and sweeter to balance the flavour with the ginger. This was followed by a cinnamon bun and some Madagascan vanilla custard . After 7 courses and feeling stuffed I could not manage a bun with custard the texture of thin cream. This meal, I felt could have been better balanced with the incorporation of a fresh fruit sorbet to cleanse the palate after so many rich and ceamy dishes, but this is only my opinion and may differ from someone elses. The crockery was unusual and used creatively, the Restuarant was decorated with the theme of grey, whilst it is on trend and fashionable, I find it dull and uninspiring. The cutlery for each course was held in small units positioned by each table and therefore conveniently on hand for each of the 8 courses and also served as a stand for the wine, water and wine menu ( which was incredibly extensive and purchased by the bottle or 100ml servings rather than the standard 125ml you would get at most other places) My husband selected as one of his drinks a particular sherry, which should never have left the kitchen/bar ! it clearly had sediment in the bottom of the glass and was cloudy, easily seen and should have been picked up as it was poured. When he commented about it to the member of staff, she said after apologising that there was no more and she would replace it. We did not expect to be charged for the original sherry that was replaced with a less expensive sherry ! ! Aside from the sherry our other drinks included 2 glasses of wine, a bottle of beer and a bottle of water. Given that it was St Valentines Day, I had expected a nod to it in the form of something heart shaped that would appear in the menu somewhere or on the table, but no ! it could have been any day of the year. The total bill for the two of us was £412.85...... with service charge of £53.85...............I leave you to decide if this was value for money.

One of the best eating experiences I've ever had (apart from the last time I was there)

Clearly the best dining experience of my life. We went there for a 50th pre rugby match. The food was a total knockout. The flavour experience was just mind blowing. Plus the passion on show from the staff made the whole episode so enjoyable. I will definitely return for more of the same. I'd pay twice the cost for the experience I had. Plus, do not forego the cheese course. Epic! 😍

Great food, impressive service, really personal. Thoroughly enjoyed it. You'll need to save up though, the addons are too tempting!

Everywhere i get a chance im leaving top rated reviews for this lovely restaurant! We were so happy with our visit. Food, service, attention to detail, decor, friendliness..absolute perfection!

Excellent is the only word, lovely present from my grandson for Xmas. Great experience all round.

We absolutely loved Home, our first visit to this gem in Penarth. 8-course taster menu, accompanied by appetisers, bread and a cheese board was excellent. The chicken, cod and desert courses especially stood out. The small restaurant provides an intimacy and calmness rarely experienced in other restaurants, with an open kitchen visible to all. I now get why it’s called ‘Home’. James provided friendly chat and explanations to each course, while staff were friendly and attentive. Any fears of a stuffy or pretentious atmosphere were quickly quashed and the entire evening was just pure enjoyment. A Welsh chef, plenty of Welsh produce, on the outskirts of the Welsh capital, what’s not to love?

A proper treat! We went for lunch (4 courses) as a Christmas treat and we enjoyed every part of our visit. The food, the staff, the experience of the restaurant, watching the food being prepared and eating it! Everything is thoughtful and the focus is on giving us a lovely experience. The team are friendly, put us at ease and had some lovely conversations with us around our courses. You can add additional courses - so we were offered the addition of a truffle based course and the cheese course (we couldn’t manage the cheese course but the range of cheeses to choose from was impressive). We loved the focus on celebrating seasonal and local food - and just the magic they make with food. A wonderful experience and a proper treat! Thank you! I hope to come back again!

A one of a kind experience in the area. Everything is elevated through attention and consideration: welcome, comfort, service and of course cooking. Highly recommended, naturally: Home is impeccable.

Sunning food. Attentive and informative staff. Great ambiance. Can’t wait to return for the 8 course. Exceptional value for money.

The food is great - but you guessed that already! A great culinary experience requires much more than a perfectly prepared and presented meal. I will not give too many spoilers here but something to think about before going. Design Home has a soothing color palette and elegantly designed, yet highly functional interior. All excess is stripped forcing your senses to focus on the main feature. There are no busy paintings, flashing screens or other unnecessary distractions. Family James and his family have designed their own restaurant to feel special, welcoming and warm. They run it as a family and source all ingredients and other necessities from local producers and professionals. Ingredients are hand-picked every day and seasonal products are served to maximize flavor. Food All courses are effortlessly and smoothly served at the pace of each table. The food itself is always surprising and pleasant and served at perfect temperature with bursts of full flavors without overpowering spices. Mouthfeel has layers of texture, creamy smoothness and crispy details for balance. At times a perfect salty or acidic kick waters your mouth. Heaven. Experience We had a wonderful evening with great food and memories and for this Home took the #1 spot on my gastronomic scoreboard. The bill for two persons for the tasting menu, matching wines, a few drinks and some other extras along the way was approx 500£. You should make a reservation several weeks in advance. Hope you are not late already!

What an amazing experience. The food was out of this world yet the atmosphere was still warm and friendly. The service was exceptional and we would highly recommend.

Brilliant experience. Good Welsh locally sourced produce. Very relaxed and engaging Wesh humour. I have already booked to come to the cookery school Bastille Day. Congratulations to one and all.

The food was of course, exquisite. The set up was lovely, with an intimate setting. For a taster menu, the portion sizes were incredibly generous, to the point that I couldn't finish the last few courses. Most of the staff were friendly, especially the French waiter, who was amazing (sorry to have forgot your name!), however some of the other servers, in particular the front of house, could have been friendlier and less glum.. The carpets were also a little tired and could do with an upgrade, but overall it was a great evening and I would return, but with a vastly empty belly to fully enjoy the courses.

What an amazing experience we had at Home- truly faultless. The ambience from the moment you walk in you know you are somewhere special. The food was out of this world and really challenges your taste buds. To watch the team prepare your food is unique and they really do work as a team in a quiet and calm manor far away from what you see on TV food shows where there is shouting and tension- total reverse of Home. The food is explained to you and James gave really helpful suggestions about our wine choice without any pressure. Members of the team come to your table to engage and are friendly. We can only describe our entire experience as outstanding. As I said early in this review- faultless. Well Done to all the team.

This was a very different experience for us, because you get to see the chefs working/preparing while you eat. They also all come up to talk you through the meal. It was a really lovely experience and felt personal. If you had any questions, they were happy to answer. The food was all delicious and didn't feel pretentious. As the menu changes regularly, we'll have to come back at some point! We didn't utilise it, but they offered alternative menus for any/all dietary requirements.

Had the most fabulous experience at Home.. From the moment you step through the door and past the drapes, you know you have arrived somewhere special. In short, the food was spectacular, and the service and atmosphere were superb. Would highly recommend.

Superb food, and excellent friendly service, far better than some 2 and 3 Michelin * restaurants, I've eaten at. Surely only a matter of time before they get another *

An incredible meal and experience. To see a father and daughter team be so happy work together was a delight. As was every mouthful and element of each dish. Keep up the great work, it is truly appreciated

Exceptional fine dining experience. Every dish was beautifully presented. The wine pairings were smooth and delicious. I strongly recommend having the optional cheese board. Staff were all friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

Had the 8 course taster menu last night. The food was outstanding and highly presented . As for the atmosphere, it was relaxing and homely. The service was very friendly and informative both when presenting food and drinks. Look forward to my next visit.

A flawless presentation of a fantastic range of perfectly cooked dishes. Very competent, friendly, efficient staff.

Well what an I say. We took the family there for the surprise 4 course lunch. hoping for a very special experience as they came from New Zealand, Exeter and New York for special birthday celebrations and goodness me they didn’t disappoint. From start to finish the service the was absolutely amazing. Loved the whole concept and the food was literally out of this world. As a party of 9 each and every one of us couldn’t praise the food enough. Well done chef and staff it was an experience we will always remember 💕

Sadly I am nowhere near eloquent enough to do this fine dinning establishment any justice. Suffice it to say that we are already looking forward to our next visit. Chefs James and Georgina run a tight ship that serves up the most exquisitely delicious food that is both appealing to the eye and taste buds. They were also warm and engaging and the whole night felt world class. My faith in the culinary scene in Cardiff has been restored.

We had a fantastic evening. Faultless. Delicious, innovative. Theatre. They even had the best products - Goodwash - in the bathroom!

An experience that was 100% from start to finish. A wonderful 8 course tasting menu, prepared by very talented people using superb ingredients. Everything about the evening, food, service, wine, environment was to be highly recommended. A very special place.

Visited “Home” for the 4 course set lunch. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the ravioli, and all beautifully presented. We really liked the general ambience and it was really interesting to watch the food being prepared. The team, especially Mr Sommerin himself, were very accommodating of our group (attended with a baby) and it was greatly appreciated that he took the effort to serve a fresh main course for the new mum as she had been caring for the baby when it was originally served. Will definitely be returning again soon (without the noisy baby!!).

Booked this place for my partner's birthday back in 2022. Unfortunately she tested positive for covid, which meant we couldn't go. We emailed the restaurant and explained even sending proof of a lateral flow test but they would have rather we attend with covid and put other customers and their staff at risk than refund our £110 deposit or even allow us to move our booking. They said they would try and advertise the table on twitter but when we checked their account, nothing was posted. We kept trying to come to a resolution but in the end they just ignored our emails and just ran off with the money.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. I took my son for his 16th birthday to the cookery demonstration as he is an aspiring chef. Each dish was expertly explained to us and you could clearly see the demonstration from where you were sat in the restaurant. The food was incredible and the service was brilliant! Each course was better than the next and paired with the perfect wine. The staff ensured our water glasses were never empty. Had the pleasure of meeting chef James Sommerin who took the time to talk with us and give my son some insight into life as a chef. Highly recommended. Will be returning!

Such an amazing evening at Home. The food was sensational, the atmosphere was brilliant and the staff were insanely good! The whole evening felt so intimate and personal, especially when James came over to our table for a chat at the end of the meal. Out of the Michelin star restaurants I’ve visited, this is by far the best. We can’t wait to visit again!

Was unsure what to make of the restaurant when we arrived outside, withthe black curtains shielding the inside from prying eyes. Once inside we were taken back to what could be described as a theatre style inside, with the cosy 8 tables all facing the small open plan kitchen. We had the 8 course tasting menu, but expect to have a few other surprises. We also had the wine flight, which complemented the food amazingly well. The tastes within each meal were amazing and how he can not have 2 stars is beyond me. If you go be prepared to have an outstanding experience and taste sensation with James himself coming to your table with dishes. Just one word overall from us, spectacular.

From start to finish, this was the best dining experience we have all had. We had the tasting menu and the food was absolutely sublime. The tastes which were conjured from the ingredients was incredible - who knew that such divine flavours could be elicited from the humble celeriac! The lobster dish was incredible, enhanced by subtle spicing. The special wine pairing was genius and enhanced every dish, especially the beautifully cooked cod which was taken to the next level by the wine. The ambience in the dining room was spot on for us. Relaxing music was at just the right volume to carry on a conversation, and the intimate lighting and large curtains blocked out the outside world, intensifying the experience. Service was impeccable, exactly the right balance between professional, informative and friendly - thankfully none of the superiority and arrogance of staff of some other restaurants we have visited. Cannot wait to visit again and wholeheartedly recommend to food lovers.

What an amazing experience we had for a special birthday….highly recommend….

Firstly we would both just like to say thank you to every member of the home team 😊 We chose to dine her as part of my partners 40th birthday celebrations and it certainly didn’t disappoint. This isn’t just a meal but an experience, from the atmosphere created at the entrance to the music, and our favourite part was being so close to the kitchen and being able to watch the chefs create plates of literal heaven in front of our eyes. Every single course was so beautifully plated and tasted out of this world. The restaurant is intimate and immersive and we loved every moment. Thank you again home team, please keep doing what you are doing so we can visit again one day.

An excellent experience worthy of the Michelin star. The food from James & Olly in the kitchen was stunning and service from the front of house team (including Georgia from the kitchen) was friendly and professional. I always struggle to choose a favourite dish but it has to be between James' signature ravioli and the lamb with salsa verde. Fully recommend!

Everything was perfect, from the music to the food and service! If I had the power I would give this man another Michelin star right now! Thank you James and team!

We treated our daughter and new son in law( who has never tried a tasting menu)to dinner and it was wonderful. The service was efficient and prompt but still very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable .The food was fantastic and...

Fine dining from a Michelin starred chef. Brilliant food in a fantastic venue with a magnificent family atmosphere. Excellent service and an awesome selection of wine.

Wow, what an experience, food was outstanding. Staff were incredibly friendly. It's definitely a must. Well worth it

A fantastic experience, would highly recommend. All the sfaff are super friendly and knowledgeable on the food and wine. It was a birthday present off my husband, we made another booking at the end of the meal. I could not finish all 8 courses. Thank...

Absolutely Amazing Night at Home , Incredible food actually the best I've ever had.The most Amazing staff & Chefs.I honestly couldn't recommend Home more . It's a must try ,We will be back very soon x

James is a lovely host and chef at his home restaurateur , all the courses of food were very enjoyable and did not disappoint. James was also very helpful in giving us advice on choosing a nice bottle of wine. I would’ve given the review...

Our 4-course lunch menu was simply delicous, balanced and packed with flavour! Definitely worth a detour.

From the moment you enter through the four courses, the ambience, service and especially the food were simply exceptional.

Incredible food and well deserving of all the excellent reviews. Every detail of the restaurant and food appeared to have been thought of carefully from the lighting, acoustics, sizing of the restaurant. The food was exceptional with each course being faultless. The staff were friendly and attentive and it was great to get to chat to James and his family as they served a lot of the food themselves. The wine range was extensive and both bottles we had were excellent. Definitely the best meal we’ve ever had in Wales and up there with one of the best meals we’ve every had anywhere.

I had an incredible dinner here tonight and I am so excited to write this review! We found out about this restaurant when planning a vacation to Wales and I am so, so glad we worked it into our itinerary. The food was truly out of this world and I will be thinking about it for a very long time. Please don’t hesitate; the chefs and staff are lovely, the ingredients are high quality, and the portions are generous.

Absolutely amazing dining experience! Saw this restaurant on the hairy bikers go local show and thought we must try it when we were down here in Wales. We were not disappointed - the food was superb. James and Georgia introduced each course - it was...

We had a fabulous evening here. The food, wine and service was all absolutely incredible. We went for the premium wine pairing and the wine and food combinations worked brilliantly, the flavour and texture combinations were amazing. The service was very good, attentive but not overbearing. Each course was brought to our table by James or Georgia who described the ingredients and how it had been put together. The accompanying wine was then presented and described. The emphasis on great ingredients, carefully selected and well prepared was clear. It’s an open kitchen, indeed the way the restaurant is set up it’s like they are cooking on a stage, it was great to see the two chefs working so carefully preparing every dish, no rush, no panic just lots of effort to ensure the food was perfect. It’s not cheap compared with your local pub but it’s not your local pub. Once you factor in the quality of the ingredients, the care and effort in preparing the food and the absolute artistry in the whole experience, it’s incredible value for money. They have an extensive wine list and they are all very reasonably priced, without having the standard typically 300% mark up that some restaurants have. The eight courses are a delight and I would highly recommend this restaurant and if you are not driving please try the premium wine pairings,. Overall a fabulous experience and well worth every penny.

100%amazing food wine and service

Chefs James and Georgia exude a quiet calm which permeates throughout their intimate space (only 8 tables) whilst the waiting staff are attentive without being obtrusive. The 8 course taster menu is exquisite and noticeably cohesive complimented well by the paired wine options. Whereas Heaneys excels at throwing together an amazing array of juxtaposing flavours James's dishes tend toward more related flavours which generate an incredible depth and complexity giving a completely different and equally satisfying experience. A great bonus was the time both James and Georgia took to talk to all the customers and pass on their obvious passion for food. I loved it and would heartily recommend an evening at this excellent culinary theatre.....I think the term restaurant somehow doesn't quite do Home justice!

Well what an absolute amazing experience, @home.penarth , probably the best meal, we both agreed we have ever had… From ringing the bell, walking through the curtains, you felt at Home, such a personal experience, we shall definitely return…. My tastebuds are still tingling, the...

1st time at Home. Having previously visited other James Sommerin establishments, we were looking forward to the experience. A very intimate and homely atmosphere. Music added to ambience. Food and Service were impeccable as you would expect. 8 course taster menu had a fantastic variety of dishes paired with a great selection of wines.

Don't be fooled by the understated ambience of this little gem of a restaurant as what you will experience once sat down is nothing short of the most exceptional gastronomic journey you could ever imagine. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the waiting staff and shown to our table. The restaurant is small but wonderfully intimate - further enhanced by the close proximity to the open-plan kitchen where you can watch every plate of food being prepared. The service throughout our meal was spot on - attentive without being stuffy and overly formal. We ordered the surprise 8 course tasting menu - both of us are vegetarian and James was more than happy to cater for this. Each course was immaculately presented without being pretentious and beautifully described to us. More importantly every dish was exquisitely flavoured. James managed to balance richness and depth of flavour whilst still achieving an incredible lightness to his food. The produce (seasonal of course) was treated with respect and techniques were applied intelligently to achieve the optimum flavour. It's hard to pick a favourite dish as every one was a stand-out in its own right but if I was forced to pick I would say these three were highlights: carrot and tarragon; pumpkin and goats cheese; parsnip and beetroot. The quality of the wine was also superb. Perhaps what made this eating experience truly special was the fact that James and daughter Georgia serve much of the food themselves and it was such a privilege to talk to them about their passion for what they do. This is not a cheap meal out by any stretch but if you are looking for a truly unforgettable restaurant experience that will be the highlight of your year then this most definitely will tick that box!

Excellent food, extremely friendly team, really enjoyable evening

Food was absolutely fabulous, well sourced products. Beautifully put together, such wonderful flavours. Really good cheese selection.

Everything youd expect from James and family, an amazing experience and of course some of the best food you could wish for. A huge improvement in setting as well over James's previous beach front restaurant. Great to see him back, open and going fro. Strength to strength 👌

What an amazing experience. Beyond the mystery of the curtains is a very intimate setting while you watch James and Georgia work their magic. It is an incredibly calm environment and you truly feel relaxed and treated to their exciting 8 courses! A very special...

Four course lunch menu - we weren't drinking alcohol and they had non-alcoholic wine on offer which was lovely. I let them know in advance I had coeliac disease and they were so accommodating, I didn't have to ask at any point whether things were...

James has done a fantastic job creating something quite unique in the region.....we sat close to the open kitchen and watched the passion preparing and plating up each dish. The atmosphere is perfect....subtle lighting and cool background music at the right volume. Each dish was...

We visited as a family of 5 to celebrate a birthday, 3 of us being vegan & 1 not eating red meat & the team accommodated us so well. As vegans we didn’t feel hard done by, the produce used & the flavours were outstanding...

Me and my wife came here in December for my 60th birthday and had the 8 course taster menu with the drinks pairing. It was a memorable experience from start to finish. Trying new flavours and textures and having the right wine for every course was truly amazing. We will definitely be going back again.

Love this restaurant the food is sublime service is excellent beautiful atmosphere a really special experience 🥂👍 what a great team of people 👏👏👏

Can't really say about atmosphere as went with a work group

What a deeply impressive experience. The welcome, the environment, the food, all totally astounding. Such a great time. Can’t wait to visit again.

Food was fantastic great service it’s like watching poetry in motion watching them cook
