Midsummer House in Cambridge

Excellent cooking, almost certainly the best in Cambridge. However, it’s really very expensive. Expect to spend £250 per person at lunch, and £350 at supper if you’re fairly restrained on the drinks. Markups are sky high, and the amounts in the wine pairings felt very stingy. Having said all this, the food was almost flawless. Is it worth the money - that’s up to you.

I had an awful experience with Midsummer House. My family went for lunch to celebrate my dad and husband’s birthdays. A few hours after my husband and I ate their food gift bag, we then fell sick and suffered severe vomiting, nausea and diarrhoea, and ended up cancelling my husband’s 40th birthday party. I realise that pinpointing the exact cause of our sickness is difficult and it may well have been something else unrelated to their food. My review is more about the poor customer service. I emailed them to share my concerns before leaving a review and I was absolutely shocked at their response. They said that my intention to leave a review was by itself a "threat" and made it clear they would start legal action if I made any "slanderous statements", and that they will try to remove my review. I asked for nothing in my email, and felt their response could have been more sympathetic and less attacking. An overall very disappointing experience and I will never return.

A nice experience but certainly a couple underwhelming dishes on the testing menu

Just love this place, we always feel very spoilt to go here. This is the first time we have been for lunch as we usually go in the evening, the experience was equally as pleasant. The staff were (as always) friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We did test the sommelier regarding our taste in wine, he came up with the perfect solution. Amazing food and theatre in the presentation. We will see you next year.

I have been to different Michelin stars restaurants around the world, I had to say this is the worst one. We waited outside of the house for more than 10 min because no one answered the door. All dishes taste mediocre, service is horrible - no one fold your napkin when you leave the seat, for quite a long time our water glass is empty and no one noticed it. Wondering how did this restaurant get the stars. Since most customers are not coloured I suspect racism. One of the dishes had a bug in it, I immediately asked to have it return to the kitchen. When we get the bill it was full price, I asked the waiter what do they usually do when there is a bug in the dish. The waiter said “I already said sorry”. The wine pairing was pretty good though. I totally agree with one of the other review here: overpriced nonsense.

Amazing experience, wonderful food and very attentive service.

We had the best experience at Midsummer house! Very cosy environment and incredible food! All dishes were pieces of art. Highly recommended for birthdays, anniversaries, and more! It's definitely worth it. We noticed that the entrance to the restaurant is not where Google maps shows. The entrance is not from the river side.

Utterly exquisite food. Lovely building. Superb staff and service. It is just such a shame, given its location right on the river and common, you cannot see either! That aside this is, without doubt (and taking into account my 5 star dining experiences in London, around the UK and overseas) the best cuisine I have experienced. Divine

Deserves its 2 stars - a stunning experience

What can you say about this place besides spectacular. Obviously the food is first class but the personal service and location really top it off

Fabulous taster menu, about 18 courses that were perfectly balanced to avoid any feelings of overload. We had the 'cheaper' wine pairing and each was seriously good. It ranks as one of the finest dining experiences ever, every course was sublime. There were 5 of us in the private dining room and I think others may find it a bit atmospherically cold, thankfully we're a reasonably lively, not rowdy, group and it was fine. Arthur, our waiter and sommelier, was a triumph. Very expensive but when you see the detail in every course you understand why. A magnificent treat.

Heating issue was a problem. Minus degrees on Saturday with 2 babies is not acceptable, leaking from under kitchen sink…heaters were delivered that blew electricity…. I get it’s an old house but you should’ve been on the ball …. We fixed dodgy door that didn’t close in conservatory?? Leaking toilet downstairs, and had to sort out heating basically on our own…. Luckily we had blokes that could sort some stuff…. But hopefully the next family there have better luck with the heating than we did … good luck

Visited for my boyfriends, mums 70th. We had a great time. The food was obviously delicious, and the service was great. The staff were happy to take themselves not too seriously. Only criticism was that some of the servers spoke very quietly, which was tricky for those of us without perfect hearing.

A group of 12 dined in the private room. The food was exquisite, the service excellent and being in the room rounded off an excellent experience. Yes it is pricy but when you consider the effort that goes into making each individual course it really isn't unreasonable. Our vegetarians and individual preferences were well catered for.

Fantastic meal and impeccable service. Absolutely loved the seasonal menu and can't wait to go back again

Wow! What a meal. We went there for our 10th anniversary lunch. To say this went above my expectations is an understatement. Beautiful food, fantastic service. Every detail was thought of. I’m gluten free, and my options were just as good ( even better - that dessert! 😋) as the regular options. Can’t thank Midsummer house enough! Easily one of ( if not ) the best meals I’ve ever eaten

Phenomenal experience, excellent, unassuming, and wonderful find. The only sufficient word I can use to describe our dining experience is " Chapeau ! " I wish to thank everyone involved in the preparation and presentation of the Tasting Menu. It was exceptional in every way and added so much to our enjoyment of what was a double celebration, my wife's birthday, and our 17th anniversary . Please pass on my special thanks to all concerned. The quality of the ingredients used was incredible good and the dishes were prepared with such a high delicacy. Outstanding plating and amazing new flavours. We definitely need to come back, and you definitely need to try it ! You'll not be disappointed !

Exciting food, very high quality presentation and outstanding service . Phenomenal experience to choose the Tasting Menu, a delicacy indeed. It's a unique restaurant in its category, definitely worth a detour ! "Chapeau" for everyone involved to make our anniversary special, thank you !

What a fantastic meal. Every single course was inspired, delicious dining. We sat by the window so got to enjoy the chefs at work. We cannot wait to go back. Massive shout out to Katie for making us feel so welcome and serving us a top notch rocher of ice cream

Wow! What a lunch. Amazing food, brilliant service - completely blown away by the whole experience

An absolute high point for dining. This place took us to the Pinnacle of fine food and the best part was meeting Mark Abbott to hear about the philosophy and backstory of the restaurant.

The flavours and variety of the various tiny portions made for an interesting experience although they rely heavily on sorbets and mousses and fine pastry with little fresh vegetable. Staff were attentive after a fashion but it felt scripted and not personal. However, the experience was spoiled for me by having to go outside in the drizzle to a shed which purported to be a disabled toilet but had a step which I could only navigate with help. I always ask about accessibility when booking and was assured that there was a toilet accessible for a wheelchair. As I had to wheel past three sides of the restaurant (a glass conservatory) it was obvious to the rest of the diners where I was going and made me feel a second-class citizen. Alcohol overpriced.

Amazing as usual. Cambridge’s local Michelin is well worth dining at at least once in your life. If you haven’t dined here you’re missing out! Well worth the cost. Ambience is perfect — quiet and comfortable. Nice for a date or business meeting. Favorite dish is their constant — the apple shaped beignets are to die for. Also their gift bag carrot cake…

Delicious meal, so many tastes and flavours to enjoy in so many courses and bite sized treats. Very attentive staff. We had been trying to book for a group if 5 for a while, but we’ll worth the wait.

This place is fantastic! The food is an explosion of all the different flavours packed into a small bundle! All the descriptions for both wine and food were spot on! The chef and staff were incredibly kind and were very quick with the services. The view inside the kitchen was amazing. I was able to even see hardcore sanitizing after using a cooking station. They gave me a good bag on the way out. This place by far was the best tasting and kindest that I have ever been to!

Today we called Midsummers to make our long awaited reservation using a gift voucher that was purchased just before lockdown. We made a call earlier this year and we were reassured by a member of staff that given the circumstances there would be no expiry on the voucher. Today we were told different. Our voucher for £150 was no longer valid. Money spent and we got only a robotic-like voice on the end of the phone telling us we were getting nothing for our £150. Disappointed by the lack of decency and disappointed that we now will never get to experience Daniel Clifford’s amazing cuisine. From 2 former Daniel Clifford fans.

Incredible experience. Each course was absolutely perfect. Wine pairings were exquisite. Waiters are so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Really Can not recommend highly enough. You need to experience this place.

Simply the most stunning and memorable food and hospitality experience we have ever experienced. From the moment we arrived we were immersed in an amazing atmosphere from the midsummer team who were polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the food and drink The food itself was heaven on a plate. So much attention to detail and a food explosion with every mouthful. I am no wine connoisseur so thoroughly enjoyed the education in what we were drinking and how it complemented the food. We are still talking about the dining experience and will do for a long time. Exquisite from start to finish and a must for everyone. I can see why the restaurant is so highly regarded Can’t wait to go back

What no one can deny is that restaurants are among the most beautiful places where we can go and enjoy our time. When we are on the weekend we go with our family or with friends . Also, on holidays and at the end of the year, there are no places better than restaurants to go to. There are many types of restaurants and each of us has his favorite restaurant in which he relaxes and likes to go to. Some of us go to a restaurant that serves fast food like pizza and hamburgers. Some of us like restaurants that offer home food, such as rice, chicken and meats of all kinds. As for me, I like to go to a restaurant that serves home food.

A superb culinary experience in every way. We had the lunch menu which was incredible, every mouthful was perfect and totally delicious. The food is clearly prepared by masters of their craft. The staff were also delightful and knowledgeable. I cannot fault a thing and for our special occasion Midsummer House was outstanding.

What a phenomenal lunch we had here! All of the dishes were exceptional but some stand outs for me : the asparagus dish and the cheese dish (with a lager sorbet) so creative and delicious! Service was faultless and decor inside is very welcoming. The outside of the restaurant is also a beautiful sight as it’s positioned on the river edge. Wine list is great and we were given some fantastic recommendations as well as one of the nicest wines I’ve ever had- it had become a real favorite! A lovely touch at the end to send guests away with a little carrot cake (which again tasted great!) The only thing I would say that wasn’t great was at the start of the experience we were asked if we’d like one of their choices of sparkling to begin the experience. The way this was worded and presented suggested the glass was complimentary (in addition last time we came for dinner we were given a complimentary glass of krug) so we picked the ones we liked the sound of. It was definitely a bit of a shock when the glass of Krug showed up on the bill at £50 (both glasses added an unexpected £75 to the bill which was a bit more than we’d hoped to spend). Although we came prepared for high prices I know for some people , experiences such as these are a treat and perhaps something to save up for- I think prices should be made clear when the glasses are offered to avoid any nasty surprises. Other than this a truly phenomenal meal and we can’t wait to be back!

We visited Midsommer House a few weeks ago for our anniversary. All I can say is - wow! What a place. We had the eight course tasting menu and it was superb. Would recommend to anyone who is a real food lover.

I have to say we found the current tasting menu really underwhelming. I think maybe 2 or 3 of the dishes were really good but all the rest were really hard to like. The ideas were great but they didn’t deliver on taste. The pigeon dish was extremely disappointing and lacked seasoning as well which was a surprise. I kept eating thinking there must be something on the plate to season it and it just didn’t come. I wish I had asked for some salt ! Splitting a scallop and putting truffle slices inside sounds great but does it make that scallop taste better ? Not for me. I have no problem paying out a lot of money for a mind blowing experience but this really fell short in my opinion. I can’t fault the service or the setting but weeks down the line and I’m still really disappointed that what I thought would be an amazing culinary experience was so utterly flat. I have to say I feel quite robbed. It’s as though they are carried away with serving technically difficult dishes but have forgotten the basics that all customers want. Restaurant 22 is 10 times better

Food perfection for my birthday meal. Absolutely stunning food from start to finish. Service excellent too, very attentive.

Celebrating major birthdays a fantastic tasting menu with brilliant wine pairing My husband and I are now in our 9th decade and all the staff were charming

Amazing experience, we will definitely visit again. The innovative food was outstanding and served by friendly, knowledgable yet friendly Staff.

Went here for another visit on Saturday with friends. Such a fantastic experience. We love our food and this Restaurant really is the best of the best. From the moment you walk in you know your somewhere special. The food and service is exceptional as you’d expect and although busy everyone makes time to make sure your enjoying the experience and happy to chat and the waiters and waitresses are very knowledgable about the food and wine. We couldn’t fault a single this and came away feeling it was good value considering the time and effort that must go into producing such a fantastic fine dining experience. We can’t wait until our next visit soon.

midsummer_house is a 2 Michelin star Victoria era river side cottage in the heart of Cambridge. Serving some incredibly beautiful French meals. It was the best culinary experience I have ever had in my life and I would recommend going if you have a special occasion coming up as it’s on the pricier side but it is worth every penny. We later slipped into the lounge area with some spectacular views of the River Cam and was given the absolute honour of looking behind the scenes in the kitchen! Absolutely unforgettable experience! 😍🤩

I have been lucky enough the have a meal at Midsummer house on three separate occasions. The food, atmosphere and service are consistently exceptional.

Exceptional restaurant. Food prepared with imagination and expertise perfectly. Great service by very informed servers. Don't miss out on a fabulous experience.

Truly amazing lunch at this riverside restaurant. Every experience has been considered from the magical aperitif cabinet to the vibrant tableware. Booked whilst en route to the restaurant, staff were perfect mix of charming and professional, The supplementary cheese course was a revelation

We visited Midsummer House and while very much enjoyed our evening overall it was let down by a few things which at this standard is just not acceptable. The overall tasting menu was enjoyable, the French rabbit was stunning as was the Gazpacho mousse, which...

Amazing food from beginning to end. This was the lunchtime taster menu. We started off with 4 amazing canapés & then each course after with incredible flavours to try & finish off with a good old fashion cup of tea. I belive this is the only restaurant in the East of England with 2 Michelin stars.

There are no words to describe the food, the service, the ambience except for BRILLANT It was a perfect dinner for a special celebration for our son’s graduation from University of Cambridge

First I declare my interest, this was a treat from my eldest daughter and she used to work here during her gap year. Rebecca and I are so proud that before she started her university course she wanted to thank us, and this is how...

We had the most delightful and delicious lunch as a gift from our eldest daughter. Impeccable service with incredible food. Mini works of art ; all tasted fabulous, but my favourite had to be the Coriander Dome.

Wonderful lunch experience at Midsummer House for party of 11 in Cambridge for family reunion. Exquisitely crafted food that was fresh and a delicious surprise at every turn. It would be difficult to pick out a favourite - the vegetarian strawberry plant pot, turbot, asparagus...

One of the best meals I have ever had. Both the food and the service were impeccable. This is a must go place when in Cambridge.

Yesterday, on the 21st June (the summer solstice marking the start of summer), I had the best, most sensational, birthday lunch ever. We marked the occasion by going to the Midsummer House Restaurant in Cambridge. I've walked and ran past this beautiful house located on...

Have waited a while to visit Midsummer House, we’ve been fans of Daniel Clifford for a long time. We we’re definitely not disappointed. From the minute you walk in the door, all the staff are friendly, attentive and you are looked after and spoilt. An...

We went for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner. Service was outstanding from start to finish, with conversation around the inspiration and development of each menu course. There were options for pescatarians and also a cocktail pairing menu for non-alcoholic drinkers. Do book in advance due to popularity!

An absolutely gorgeous gem nestled on the side of the Cam. A special treat dinner was everything we hoped it would be and more. Literally everything and everybody on point from start to finish. Wonderful.

We had an absolutely stunning evening at Midsummer House enjoying the tasting experience. From arrival through to departure and everything in between, we couldn’t fault it. The food is stunning; beautifully presented with lots of unusual ingredients, unfamiliar flavours and some absolute classics. The sommelier was such good fun, so knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations, and the waiting staff we equally as delightful, quick-witted and attentive. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to experience fine dining for a special occasion. Thank you so much! A top tip; order a coffee or tea at the end of your meal!

Outstanding anniversary treat dinner. Food was out of this world, the venue is beautiful and managed to be intimate despite being fully booked. The stand out outside of all of this has to be the incredible team who are without exception, warm, knowledgeable, professional and...

My Dad and I had an amazing meal here, probably the best we've had together. It is very expensive, even compared to other two stars and some three but in my opinion very much worth it for the food. The service additionally was fantastic I suppose the wine pairing seemed over priced if I am to be critical. The Sommelier was engaging, fun and knowledgeable but some of the wines themselves although delicious, didn't seem so worth the money. This is shadowed by the 5 star experience and we were happy to pay (next time though we may purchase a bottle or two instead).

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere, amazing setting, simply amazing! Highly recommended...

We were welcomed in a very friendly fashion and ushered into a delightful, light-filled dining room. The first thing we noticed, was the very large number of staff. This appeared puzzling initially, but the reason became apparent when a selection of canapés were presented individually,...

Fantastic lunch...beautiful food and attentive, informative service.

I brought my father here for his birthday the other week and it's safe to say that we were very satisfied and impressed, especially with the creativity and uniqueness of the chefs' cuisine. The service was essentially faultless; the dining room was very pleasant and should appeal to everyone. We had some of the most experimental and bravest dishes we had ever come across. Some canapés, including one made to resemble a strawberry, when actually made from duck liver and pepper, featured. This was great, with a perfect sweet and salty flavour, with a little added smokiness from the pepper. A juicy and tender chicken wing was also lovely, though I feel there wasn't a need to wrap it in candy floss. The rabbit gougère was utterly gorgeous. The oyster dish with passionfruit and jalapenos was full of flavour, and the tanginess of the passionfruit and peppers complimented the oyster very well. The Cambridgeshire asparagus was vibrant and fresh, with a good extra flavour provided by the cocoa nibs. Beside it was a fabulous, frothy and warm velouté-like drink made from asparagus and mushrooms, it was a real shame it ended in a few mouthfuls! The salmon with white chocolate and caviar, although sounding mad, was one of the best dishes, both in terms of flavour and texture. The salmon was beautifully cooked. The white chocolate sauce wasn't too sweet and paired nicely with the smokiness and saltiness of the fish and caviar. In my opinion, this was a dish where brave experimenting had paid off. The Yorkshire duck was tender and rich. It was just what you would want from a duck dish. The IPA sorbet with Cathedral cheese was one of the most exciting and original courses of the night. This was absolutely phenomenal. The combination of the mature, strong flavour of the cheese with the sweet and slightly bitter flavour of the IPA was just brilliant. The main dessert titled 'Coriander Dome' was even more spectacular. A simple looking coriander chocolate dome was packed full of various ingredients associated with Thai desserts, such as mango, coconut and lemongrass. Within seconds, my mouth was packed with an assortment of delightful, tropical and herbal flavours. This was very much Thai-inspired. I loved it very much. I would love to try other versions of this dessert! Meeting Daniel Clifford (chef-patron), Mark Abbott (chef de cuisine) and their team at the end brought the meal to a perfect close. This was a nice birthday dinner for my father. Thank you for the great evening!

I’m going to just put this down to an off day for them as it’s my first trip here. Stopped in for lunch last Thursday and the service so incredibly disjointed to say the least. The menu was requested twice (tasting or not I still like to be reminded of what I am eating) but never materialised. My friend wasn’t drinking and I didn’t want the wine flight and found the by the glass options very limited. The salmon I believe looked farmed which is their flagship dish (I might be wrong). My friend had a non alcoholic drink to start and not once did anyone ask if he would like another? His glass stood empty for hours on the table. Two stars? Not in a million years based on this experience, however as I said it might be just one of those rare off days? However the covers were no where near half full so maybe it wasn’t? Disappointing as I travelled far to try this iconic restaurant

Had such a special time at Midsummer House on 12/05/23. Adventurous, playful tasting menu and wine pairing. Every course was a 10/10 with the salmon course, the duck course and the "Thai green curry" inspired dessert being the stand outs. Stunning surroundings, lovely atmosphere and every member of the front of house team going above and beyond to make the evening memorable. Arthur in particular deserves a mention - he was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and made sure everything was perfect all through the meal.

A delightful evening in a delightful setting and the food was just devine. A really lovely welcoming feel to the restaurant too.

Awful service. Booked online on open table and it was not clearly stated that children or babies are not allowed. We intended to go as a couple with a baby on a pram, but we’re told that children were not allowed (which is fair enough,...

Wonderful. Staff are amazing and always go the extra mile. They love their jobs and their service is incredible. Tasting menu was a great experience, clearly Midsummer House has the reputation it deserves. If you like Masterchef, youll have a great time One improvement would be to include the service charge in the displayed prices.

We went there last week and I must say , I always wanted to go there !! One of those places that had been on my bucket list for years.However, my excitement and dreams were quickly ruined the moment we entered the establishment. We arrived...

What to say about the Midsummer House? This quiet culinary respite is delicious, beautiful, and well served by all staff. The number of courses (with amazing and well-executed wine pairings) can take you over three hours to go through, leaving plenty of time to digest, relax, and have conversations in-between. The only way this place falters is in it's soundproofing, given s larger party across from you, expect those more intoxicated persons may interject their conversation over your own. The price you pay monetarily is high, but it will be worth the night that you will never forget.

We enjoyed a culinary symphony at Midsummer House. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. The nature-inspired presentations were works of art, and the thoughtful wine selections only elevated the dining experience. We'd love to return every season and get inspired. Thank you for such a delightful experience and the sourdough ;-)

Amazing food! Very good service.

I know the rating I have given this restaurant and the title of my review don’t quite add up but this was a weird one for me. My friend and I went here to celebrate a 40th birthday and Daniel Clifford is someone I have...

This is the third time we have visited Midsummer House. The service was impeccable. The tasting menu was of high standards.

We were lucky to get a last minute table last Thursday and what a treat. Everything was perfect, the staff, every course was sensational and the wine was incredible and paired beautifully with each course.

Seriously impressive food and impeccable service as you’d expect of a two star restaurant. Not our first two star so I expected it to by pricey but the bill did shock us. On reflection, I wished we hadn’t done the wine flight as that added...

Absolutely stunning place. Great service. Great food. Lives upto it’s Michelin star rating. They looked after our GF and dairy free needs very well. Staff was stuffy and very snobby to begin with. Had to work on them. Not naturally friendly. Food was prepared with...

Midsummer House offers no gluten free options. At least 1 in 100 of the population suffer from coeliac disease and a higher proportion from other wheat intolerances. I didn't go in April 2022. It was July 2019. I cannot go now.

One can forget how exceptional Midsummer House is if leaving too long between visits! The food is sublime: delicate flavour mixes and clever texture and temperature variations, all superbly presented.It is not let down by the level of service: attentive, knowledgeable and friendly to exactly...

Sumptuous food, really nice staff, and they gave us some souvenirs! Perfect venue for an extravagant couple’s treat. Highly recommended

A first visit for me on a miserable rainy day in March. But what a delightful experience it turned out to be. perfect, friendly service and a meal to really remember. I enjoyed everything that was put in front of me. Beautifully presented and an...

Faultless food and service. Lovely location. Pricy but a super experience. Definitely a place to celebrate something special!

What an experience! From start to finish this was exceptional! Really couldn't fault it! Bravo to all the staff

We had lunch. A trio of canapes were pleasant but unremarkable. The first course proper - crispy hoisin duck, onion, cucumber and salad burnet was unbalanced - dominated by the flavours of sesame, onion and hoisin sauce. A dish of contrasting treatments of line caught...

Everything about the lunch was just amazing. The different flavours of the food blended beautifully on the palate, the presentation was just stunning, the staff were incredibly knowledgeable, they welcomed questions about the combinations of flavours that each course introduced. The wine recommended just enhanced...

Stunning lunch. Everything about the whole experience was perfect. All the dishes were exquisite and the staff had the perfect blend of being welcoming and professional. I would definitely recommend having a drink in the upstairs bar before and/or after your meal. A beautiful setting....

The setting is lovely. And that’s about the sum total of this overpriced, over-salted restaurant. The initial food servings were really delightful. The chefs did a great job but I think they lost the plot of being Michelin started after the bread serving. Then the...

The whole meal was an impressive event from start to finish so much more than great food. No faults and takes dining to the next level. To be expected of a well deserved 2* Michelin restaurant.

I visited Midsummer House with my family for a birthday treat and what a treat it was! The food, wine and service were all outstanding. Most definitely my favourite place to eat.

I had the most amazing evening! We were in the beautiful private dining room (as a birthday treat) and everyone enjoyed every moment of the experience. And it really is an experience. The food is just brilliant, I don't really know how else to describe...

This place excels in cooking and exceeds in service. We have been to the top Michelin restaurants in England and in our opinion, Midsomer beats them all (although for me it’s very close with The Frog and Cornerstone). When you say wow to every first...

Best meal ever. Each course was a delightful creation which tasted like heaven. The waiting staff were genuinely lovely and the surprises just kept on coming. What a total treat

Excellent dining at Midsummer house. Last time I went with my partner to celebrate his birthday when I was pregnant. Food was delicious and also the non alcoholic drink pairing they served to me. I am disappointed with the cancellation policy. If one cancels within...

What can I say about our visit to Midsummer house??? Well for once, words escape me as to what the chefs can do with food. Truly a memorable and mind blowing experience. Situated on what is a bit of a heat shrivelled midsummer common, the...

Our impression of dining at Midsummer House is a mixed one. The setting of the restaurant, which as Cambridge residents we know well, is delightful, but the interior is dull and rather anonymous. It might have been a corporate dining room. There was no sense...
