The Art School in Liverpool

Had the Festive Prix Fixe Menu. Always wanted to visit this place, finally got around to it. Paul Askew is a big champion of the local business/hospitality community and is a classic Chef in the mould of Marco Pierre White in my opinion. Food was amazing, also the service was too, a truly memorable experience, will be back. Highly Recommended.

Great location, the staff were fabulous & really looked after us, they explained everything so we knew what was being served. Food was delicious & generous servings

Amazing food, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well worth a visit if you are into fine dining.

Dining out doesn’t get much better than this! A friend and I had a sparkling lunch here last week - literally, as a glass of English sparkling wine with chunky tasty gordal olives is a delightful opener. Service is friendly but slick, food beautifully presented and perfectly cooked, from the two-cheese soufflé starter through the pinky venison loin to the trio of pretty and tasty desserts. The wine list has a wide and varied range at every price point; at £32, the Barbera d’Asti was excellent value with significant depth of flavour. I’m planning to go again next month!

Excellent/delicious, good value, fixed price menu. Fascinating wine list, with some unusual (in a good way) entries. Add to that a wonderful 1966 Armagnac to complete a great dining experience! Brilliant service too!! Thank you to the team!!

Wonderful food and very friendly staff. Appetizers and mains were most appreciated around the table. The decor was very interesting, with the art pieces and the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. They were mindful of dietary restrictions. The sommelier had very nice recommendations that paired well with the food, also within the wine by the glass section.

The Art School remains a fabulous dining experience in Liverpool. We enjoyed the prix fixe menu - 3 courses preceded by a welcome drink with olives and amuse bouche. My souffle and guinea fowl main were excellent and trio of desserts capped a lovely meal. Service very good, not stuffy but attentive and friendly. The venue is magnificent. All together a great experience.

We sat downstairs in the “cellars” aka their cocktail lounge, due to there only being availability down there. Book well in advance if you’d like to dine in the main dining room. Exquisite food and cocktails, best cocktails I’ve ever had!

My wife and I visited the Art School in September for my birthday meal, and we both opted for the tasting menu. I had the full tasting menu, while my wife chose the vegetarian tasting menu. A nice touch was the "Happy Birthday" message at the top of the menu when we were seated. Prior to our meal, we enjoyed a drink along with a selection of delicious snacks in the bar area. Both the bar and the restaurant had a lovely ambiance, with the kitchen visible to patrons. The waiting staff were excellent, especially the waiter from the USA, who had great wine knowledge. We decided to try wines we had never tasted before, including a Riesling and an English wine. Both were delicious and worthy of a second try. (That's my excuse). I’ve attached photos to showcase the superb quality of the food. I wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant, and if I find myself back in Liverpool, I will definitely book to eat here again.

Another wonderful trip to the art school Staff service amazing food just wonderful the taste the presentation and venue just love going there Just great to see the art school in the Cheshire life Thanks for a great time

We came for dinner early on a Saturday evening and dined from the Prix Fixe menu, which we thought was excellent value. The service throughout the meal was spot-on. We felt exceptionally well looked after and the whole experience was timed and managed perfectly. The whole evening was seamless and the staff are a real highlight here. Whilst we enjoyed our starters, we felt the main courses and pudding was a little lacking in imagination. The chicken felt a little bit like wedding food - whilst it was executed well, it wasn’t memorable in the sense of bringing anything new to the table. The trio of desserts felt a little underwhelming and - dare I say it - a little bit like the taster sized desserts you might expect to find in a Vegas buffet. Some restaurants and chefs are just not “dessert” people, which is fine, but in that case maybe have the option on the menu to take just 2 courses rather than the full three. We wondered if the main a la carte menu might have been more exciting? The wine list was interesting with lots of variety and various price points, particularly so by-the-glass. Overall, would defintely recommend based on the service and the excellent value.

We choose the Tasting Menu and Wine Flight and it was an excellent choice. The individual courses were wonderful and the accompanying wines well selected. An all round great experience

This was our second visit, the first time was for dinner and this was for lunch. We arrived by taxi was was meet by a young gentleman in a bowler hat who gave u a nice welcome walked us 5 yards and handed us over to the receptionist, then she confirmed our booking and took us into the bar another 5 yards. Where we were sat but had to wait ten to 15 minutes to be asked if we would like a drink despite three male members of staff being behind the bar. Maybe the person who takes you in could offer you a drink? or redeploy one of the two who greeted us. Whilst we were having a drink the very polite American lady brought the menu and some olives(I hate olives to be honest). You have to decided on which tasting menu you are going on when you book. It was a hot day outside and better air -con is needed. Lovely bread but the two butters were nearly melted. The mushroom veloute was very tasty but cold. The Canadian waiter knew his job and wines. We started with the hogget, I expected it to be juicy as it said slow roasted but it was crispy like it had been grilled and so was overcooked and the other starter of twice baked souffle was to die for. I was going to have the venison which was on the website but no sign of it on the menu when we arrived so had the pork, everything on the plate was fabulous expect for the meat again, overcooked and dry. The other main course of chicken was spot on. We finished with the signature desserts which were very sweet but need a sauce or something cold with them. No sign of Paul Askew maybe that why there was faults which at that price there should not be.

Had a birthday meal here recently and yet again it was faultless from start to finish. My favourite restaurant in the north west. Great food, great service, great location. Beyond me how they do not have a Michelin star.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday at the Arts School, we had such an incredible experience. The attention to detail , quality and presentation of food was amazing. Highly recommended.

What a lovely treat. My wife and I had the prix fixe menu. Beautiful flavours. Staff were accomplished, knowledgeable and friendly ensuring we had a very fine dining experience. Quite busy for a Tuesday lunch too, good having a quiet buzz about the place.

Clearly a quality restaurant with a focus on special food and a high standard of service. The attention to detail in every element is evident, not least the food with specially selected ingredients that complement each other so well. Just one example of service - if a guest leaves the table for a few minutes, a member of the serving staff will come to the table and refold their napkin ready for.their return! If you want, and can afford, a special experience, The Art School is definitely worth a visit.

We stayed overnight for our wedding anniversary and were just absolutely amazed by the whole experience. Lovely staff, every single one, from being made to feel so welcome on arrival to chatting along with them all. Every one was so helpful and friendly. Beautiful room with everything we needed for our stay. The grounds are gorgeous to have a walk around and it was really interesting to see the kitchen garden where they grow all their own vegetables and herbs. As for the dining experience, there are no words to describe just how totally fabulous this was. We were invited to a light afternoon tea in the early afternoon, then another invite for pre-dinner snacks and drinks before the main meal. The level of expertise every single staff member has is just incredible. The variety and quality of every one of the many courses is amazing. A totally wonderful culinary experience, followed the next morning at breakfast which again was fabulous. Altogether, a truly wonderful stay and we’re already looking forward to a return visit.

The food and service was outstanding.

Excellent food / staff are very attentive / spotless throughout Excellent atmosphere we will be back soon 10/10 😀

I took my friend for her birthday and I wasn’t disappointed. Service was impeccable without being stuffy as can be the case in some restaurants at this level- the staff were all friendly and happy to chat. Food was fabulous - great value set price menu. Restaurant is understated and classy and was very pleased to see every table full! Would recommend.

Fine dining at its best. The Prix Fixe menu is remarkable value for money at this level of restaurant.

We were a party of three and left slightly disappointed by the food. While none of the courses were bad, none were particularly outstanding either. Most dishes were properly cooked but lacked the creativity we expected from a restaurant mentioned in the Michelin guide. One of the desserts, a lemon and ginger tart adorned with gold strings, was perfectly enjoyable, but the gold strings felt unnecessary—more show than substance. On a positive note, the service and drinks were excellent!

Service and venue very good. Food overpriced and lacking in taste. Wine expensive. Turbot was slightly dry and disappointing. Amuse bouche were lacking in flavour. My bouche was not amused!

I have just been lucky enough to visit the restaurant for my birthday yesterday. The staff were professional and friendly, and they really made you feel welcome. They had a good knowledge of the restaurant and the food and wine. They really made it a special evening for me, and I will definitely be back again. If anyone from the restaurant reads this, I thank you again for making my evening special. The restaurant it's self was a nice setting with some simple touches to personal it. I tried some of their signatures cocktails, and they were good. They were to me also around the average price to what you pay in most bars but a better quality than a lot of bars. Good quality alcohol and mixers used. We got advice on the wine, and they showed they had good knowledge of their wines. The food was delicious, and I could not fault it. We only did the 3 course meal as we didn't want to end up in a food coma as we were going out drinking after the visit to the restaurant. Very positive experience, and I will do my best to get back there at some point again if I visit Liverpool again.

If I could give ten stars I would. We were under dressed but it was not an issue. Met by door man in top hat. Fixed menu fabulous set multiple options on set menu. Duck, lamb, hake etc.

We went for afternoon tea in the cellar bar - underneath the main restaurant The setting was nice and the staff were attentive but the food let it down. 3 sandwiches to start with - the cheese one was excellent, the fish one ok but the curried sandwich on both the normal and veggie afternoon tea so was curried you couldn't taste the chicken or egg - completely overpowered it Also the portions were small compared to other afternoon teas The scone was ok The cakes (4 small cakes) were mixed. Overall food quality an quantity was a disappointed compared to many other afternoon teas we have had The restaurant upstairs has never disappointed but for afternoon tea I would go elsewhere

This restaurant has it all. The service the staff delivered was 100%, friendly professional, and contributed to us having a fabulous experience, The food was amazing, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I can't wait for my next visit ❤️

Went for our Wedding Anniversary lunch and had such a fab time. Food was obviously fantastic and cant be faulted - but the service was really stand-out. We were made to feel so welcome and at ease. The whole team deserve much praise. HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful, serene decor, situated on a little side street. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend getting a reservation here when visiting Liverpool.

This is our go to restaurant in Liverpool when we want a special meal. It's a classy place that specializes in fine food and drink and attention to detail rather than trying to attract influencers and similar (a problem we've encountered in certain other Liverpool restaurants). The prix fixe menu has a lovely choice of courses, more than in some comparable restaurants elsewhere (e.g. in Aughton) and includes a glass of Prosecco. We will definitely be back, hopefully in the not too distant future! Please don't change what you're doing 😊

The most attentive staff and the most exquisite food. A milestone celebration place but great value for a premium experience.

Michelin star Restraunt in Liverpool great service, delicious food, thoroughly impressed!

This was an extraordinary experience. From the moment we walked in, had a drink in the cozy lounge and then got escorted to our table, we knew it was going to be fantastic. The team of people at the Art School were unintrusive, yet very adept and sensing our needs. The food was incredible, flavorful, and unique. My friend and I had not seen each other in a long while and met in Liverpool. It will be quite a lasting memory for us.

Thanks to Chef and the entire team for making my great friend’s 50th birthday an afternoon to remember! As a special treat we had the tasting menu with wine flight and couldn’t fault the quality, taste or service. Attention to detail was wonderful as was the warm approach from the staff who had added personal touches to make the event even more memorable for my guest. It’s now well shared amongst her Facebook contacts so all can see how special it is. Would highly recommend. Thank you to Chef and the team for a fabulous day. Dianne

Lovely old building, very friendly knowledgeable staff and fabulous food......loved it

Amazing attention to detail; gluten free as good as everything else

Thank you for a delicious lunch. My husband is gluten free and this was catered for so well. The service was excellent. We will definitely come back.

Very charming place in the Georgian part of Liverpool, near Hope Street, between the two cathedrals, excellent food and service, we were downstairs in the winery eating the selection of dishes of the day, we were served by Nico, a charming Greek boy, excellent food .

Outstanding birthday meal here. Been a few times now and the food, wine and service is incredible. Additional touches are thought about which is rare these days. Thank you to Paul and all the staff. You really do an amazing job and the hard work does not go unnoticed. In fact, it is much appreciated! Still dreaming of the wine we had last night! Special thanks to your sommelier who recommended an outstanding Amarone which was so good we bought a bottle to come home with!

Fabulous meal with friendly but unobtrusive service.

An all round enjoyable experience.

Beautiful building, very small reception area. Asked if we could have a drink in the cellar bar, told it was full. Drinks at the bar were good, chefs snacks brought (very good) but we were not offered champagne as per the menu. Thought it might come to the table when we sat down, it didn’t. Food was excellent, although I feel that the beef main with a £5 supplement was very small. My wife had the fish of the day, very good. Cheese course disappointing, the slivers of cheese were tiny and one of them included the rind and a very very small amount of cheese. Dessert course good. Atmosphere very ‘clinical’, no ambient music until very late on. Left us listening to everyone else’s conversations for most of the time we were there. Waiting staff okay, I was left with the tablet for the drinks on the side of the table for the entire evening. This place could be very good, but there were a few details which let it down. Don’t let 10 years on the Liverpool restaurant scene lead to complacency. Not sure I’d hurry back, we were potentially interested in a private dining booking for 20+ but I think we could do better. Good luck for the next 10 years, some attention to detail would work wonders!

Great place, affordable food and great staff...

Fabulous place. Highly recommend.

Erano trascorsi sei anni dalla precedente esperienza in questo ristorante e volevo proprio tornarci, approfittando della mia presenza a Liverpool per il Grand National meeting. I prezzi purtroppo sono cambiati, l'inflazione morde anche in Uk, ma per fortuna rimane la proposta "Prix Fixe" che permette - a un prezzo ragionevole - un menu piu' popolare ma anche una breve panoramica della loro cucina. Amuse bouche una zuppa di fagiolini verdi con menta servita con il loro pane e focaccia e una combinazione di burro. To start abbiamo scelto un souffle di "wild garlic" (aglio orsino in italiano), foglie di spinaci, formaggio erborinato, porri e salsa Dijon: eccezionale. Cosi' come eccellente la qualita' del merluzzo nero del Mare del Nord con miso, riso e gamberi, fagiolini, cipolle e cicoria rossa. Dessert, un trio di delizie fra macaron, torta al cioccolato e cheesecake al mirtillo. Grande carta dei vini, noi abbiamo scelto a calice, iniziando dal Prosecco italiano, proseguendo con la grande curiosita' delle bollicine inglesi, ovvero un Brut reserve Henners, proveniente da vigne dell'East Sussex. Dalla California il vino (rosso) per il dessert. Infine a fine pasto ci siamo concessi pure l'Espresso Martini. Servizio attento e importante, per un pranzo da ricordare

Another wonderful meal at the Art School celebrating our 37th Wedding Anniversary. I consider the Art school to be the best restaurant in Liverpool - great location, great interior, amazing food and first class service from all the staff - I could not fault anything

The ambiance of the place resembled that of a gathering for spiritual communication. The quality of service provided was satisfactory, and the dishes served in the seven-course vegetarian meal were, to put it mildly, lacking in flavor. I am unable to identify any commendable aspects to mention.

The food was excellent, all locally sourced and cooked to perfection served by the most professional staff.

Expensive but excellent food and service

The food, wine, staff and atmosphere are all first class at the Art School. We had the taster menu which was amazing. The wine was great. It was immaculately clean. Great value for money and I would certainly recommend this place if you are thinking about booking it. We had a great time.

We had the fixed price lunch which was absolutely fantastic. We were greeted by friendly staff who brought us drinks and olives while we sat by the fire. Our food was presented so beautifully and literally everything tasted amazing - even the bread and butter! We had a bottle of red wine and it was the best red wine I’ve tasted. Can’t fault it and we will be back.

We had lunch to celebrate 2 birthdays in our group. We have been many times but I realised I rarely leave a review and just accept it is always excellent- but obviously this does not happen by chance. From the moment you enter you are greeted by friendly, helpful staff and we are always pleased to see Paul in his kitchen working his magic. The wine list offers a good selection with helpful advice available if needed. I am amazed at the choice, quality and price of the fixed price lunch. Excellent value. Many thanks to all the staff for making it a wonderful day - sorry for our extended stay.

As it was my 75th birthday, I wanted to have a "special" evening dinner out. This place certainly provided it! An elegant and spacious setting , delicious food and friendly, attentive waiters. It is "posh" but not overwhelming. I like learning about food and the wine and food waiter were very happy to answer my questions. We went for the Menu Excellence: my main was the roast breast of salt-aged duck , accompanied by mooli, hispi cabbage, artichoke and red onion puree. My husband chose the Cumbrian salt-aged beef . All cooked to perfection. Starters and desserts equally as tasty. My birthday was acknowledged with my name on the menu and a Happy Birthday chocolate message inscribed on a plate with petit fours to finish. Perfect!!!!

Had the fixed price lunch menu at £48. Includes a glass of prosecco, 3 courses with good choices, plus a few extras. All very good with excellent and friendly service. It's a bargain. Can't believe a the times I've eaten in Liverpool over the years and haven’t eaten here until now. My new favourite

A birthday afternoon tea was fabulous

What a fantastic experience at the Cheltenham gold cup event hosted by lyndsay at the art school cellars bar. Great atmosphere, absolutely beautiful food as always by Paul Asquith and his team, lovely drinks service and hospitality too. Brilliant event , all four of us who attended loved it!! Can’t wait for the next one, ladies day for royal ascot??? Thank you for a wonderful afternoon .

My daughter treated me to Mother’s Day lunch at The Art School , Liverpool and it was exceptional, from the moment we walked through the front door, to the moment of leaving. The staff are very welcoming and the food was delicious, are table waitress Jen, was very welcoming, knowledgeable, informative, she is a credit to the establishment. To finish are afternoon off, on leaving, all mums received a daffodil bulb plant, which was an added bonus, lovely thought. We will definitely return & I hope if you choose to visit, you enjoy your experience as much as we did. Thank you to all the Staff & Chef for such an enjoyable afternoon.

Excellent food in a lovely location with amazing staff who go above and beyond. A truly fabulous place

I have dined at the Art School twice before this visit, my first experience was excellent, the second let down by the quality of the service, our third visit was to settle the tie and sadly we won't be coming back. In short the food was a mix of highs and lows but the price was simply high. For the cost save up a bit more and go to Moor Hall or save alot of money and go anywhere else, the price point is Michelin star level but the experience is far from it. We had the paired tasting menu which gave us the overwhelming positve of the meal which was an interesting and well curated selection of wines served by an engaging sommelier. The tasting menu varied in quality widly from a bland confit potato, followed by a delicate scallop dish, to a grossly over salted duck dish, back to a excellent beef / lobster main. The pre-dessert was heavy with chocolate which did nothing to cleanse the palate before another chocolate dessert that was almost indistinguishable from the pre-dessert in flavour profile and uninspired. The issue is simply one of food quality for the price and at this price point the expectation should be high which the food failed to deliver.

Went here today for afternoon tea which was a gift for my retirement. The setting in the cellar was beautiful with a log fire and lovely decor. The waiter was very attentive and looked after us, the food was lovely but the star of the show was the desserts which were beautifully presented and tasted delicious.

Couldn't fault anything with the food or service, we'll definitely be going back.

Stunning as always. Everything was top drawer, I could not fault it in any way.

We went for the PRIX FIXE menu which is around £48 a person for the valentine weekend. I would definitely come back again. My taste buds will forever thank me for taking them all the way to Liverpool to enjoy this meal.

We went to the Art School for the first time last night. What a beautiful evening we had. From the moment we arrived, sipping fizz by the warm fire through to enjoying a lovely bottle of wine with our meal. We had the prix fixe menu. Delicious. What made the night even better was the quality of the service received. Every member of staff was so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. In particular, we would like to thank Ben who took the time to answer the questions we had about the courses. We will return! X x

I was REALLY looking forward to eating here. We took a 10min taxi from the city and it's quite an unassuming entrance from the street in a nice Georgian architectural area of the city. A warm, friendly welcome and pleasant enough surroundings. Excellent to offer an a la carte menu as well as tasting (my bestie isn't very adventurous beyond steak and chicken 🙄). We chose from the ALC which was £89 for 3 courses, with a £5 supplement for sirloin steak main. The 3 amuse bouche, as is customary, from the kitchen were just ok. The bread was equally just ok. The two seeded rolls were dry bordering stale, not warm and certainly not baked fresh that day (or had been under a hot lamp). Scallop starter was ok, one King sliced into three with few queens in a bisque sauce that didn't really taste as punchy as it could have. The sirloin was a total disappointment! Especially given the supplement. My slices had sinew, and it really was a very ordinary plate of food. The desserts were good, light flaky mille-feuille. The decaf coffee was delicious and I probably enjoyed that the most. The atmosphere was nice enough but the music was a bit dated. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, I was quite surprised when the bread crumbs were cleared that they were swept onto the carpet, and not onto a receptacle/hand. I left feeling disappointed and I wouldn't come again. When I'm lucky enough to eat at fine dining places I want to close my eyes and really taste all the flavours and textures dancing around. I only wanted to close my eyes for bed after this. My score was bordering 3.5/4. Sorry!

Fabulous, food, ambience and service. Highly recommend

Fabulous Restaurant and Excellent Service. Food was superb ! Highly Reccomended.

I went here as a birthday treat. The food was incredible as was the service. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The manager/owner came over at the end and thanked us for coming. It was a lovely touch.

What a memorable evening we had at The Art School Restaurant on the evening of 27th January which was my husband Anthony Francis’ 55th birthday. It was a surprise for him and he (and I) couldn’t have been more pleased. The food was excellent. The service was exemplary and that is what made the experience even more special. Right from the moment Isabella welcomed us warmly, arranged for a ramp for my husband who was in a wheelchair and took our coats, to Jenny who wished my husband warmly for his birthday (he was touched as it was after all a surprise) and showed us to our table and proceeded to explain how the various elements would unfold, to Steven the sommelier who was very knowledgeable about the wine list, to Ben who was discreetly attentive whilst was looking after us at the table, it was a flawless experience. Jenny and Steven had a wonderful sense of humour. It was fine dining delivered by a fine team. We dine out often and the individuals who deliver the culinary experience in our opinion, are as important as the offering itself. The personalised touches were much appreciated. To sum up, I would like to congratulate you Paul, for having the above mentioned team members working at your establishment. They are indeed a credit to you and made our evening extremely special. Thank you once again.

Exemplary... Dinner at The Art School on their Prix Fixe menu as we were early and were due at the Philharmonic over the road for a show. Service throughout absolutely flawless - that level of 'attention when you need it' but never 'over-bearing' that restaurants find so hard to get right. When it's bang on you know it and that was the case here. If you want attention or need something you aren't sitting there drumming fingers as they are watching the tables and KNOW you are needing something. That's a clever thing that I rank highly in any eatery. Our menu had a lot of choice and varied enough to suit all tastes. Started with a glass of fizz and superb olives. Then an Amuse Bouche (a lovely little soup) and terrific breads with both oak smoked and seaweed infused butters. Delightful. Starters - I had a haggis and foie dish (well, we were only JUST past Burns Night) and wife had duck croquettes. Both superb My main Pave Rump beef with ox cheek and the most divine beef jus gravy i've ever had. Wife had pheasant which she said was excellent. Pud is not my thing, and tend not to have them, but a trio of small (thankfully as VERY rich and sweet) treats followed. As a non lover of puds these were nice. Too sweet for me, but that is just me. The Matcha and lemon item was absolutely beautiful though. Bottle of red was not over priced either - and total bill not silly. Lovely people, lovely food, lovely space. We WILL be back for the fuller menu

I was privileged enough to watch 2 master chefs at work last night, Paul Askew and guest chef Gary Jones . The menu was fabulous accompanied by an excellent wine flight. Paul Askew is not only a stunning chef but the most amazing host. The...

We booked the tasting menu for an evening out. Having been before a few times we were super excited. The staff, as they always are and have been, were super attentive and friendly. They’re a credit to you. The food was packed full of flavour...

This restaurant is incredible. From the moment you walk in, you're met with warm hospitality and a beautiful bar area with a roaring fire. Every single member of staff were friendly, helpful and knew what they were doing. The food was out of this world....

Excellent again! Took my mum for her birthday (second year in a row) and was again blown away by both the food and service. We dined on the ‘prix fixe’ menu and started by having a glass of wine in the front area. All the...

Our first visit to this lovely restaurant and we couldn’t have been happier. We had a fixed price menu which was great value and the choice of starters and mains was very good. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Staff are very friendly and attentive....

Loved our trip to the art school - the food was top quality. Not quite a tasting menu, we chose from the excellence set menu, the dishes were fantastic. Slight shame our main dishes weren't served with an explanation and we couldn't quite find anyone who could tell us exactly what each part of the dish was, taking nothing away from the quality of the food. Good sommelier too!, highly recommend!!

Amazing modern restaurant in the downtown of the Liverpool. The service and food are very well, as well as atmosphere.

I booked here for my husband's birthday and also told them it was our first Christmas as a married couple. From the minute we walked in we were treated so well. Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. A couple of lovely surprises made our experience even more wonderful. We'll definitely come again

I have been to the Art School several times.The food is superb as is the service.For me a key benefit is the imaginative vegetarian menu.Missing from many Michelin starred restaurants I have visited.

Great pre Christmas lunch. Fabulous food; superb service by Jenny who was informed friendly engaging. Thanks to Brandon, the sommelier too, for his excellent knowledge. Certainly will return!

I have thought long and hard about this review, prior to writing. We ate here on Saturday 16th of December. This was an early evening meal, as we had tickets for the Philharmonic. I will admit that I am reviewing this with a harsh mind, due to the expectations we had for this level of restaurant. On arrival, we were shown straight to our table. This was tucked away in the far corner, on a table that was behind a screen. This, despite the restaurant not being busy. Some people may like this, but it was not for us as it seemed dark and secluded. The lady who introduced us to our table was very pleasant. We were served some chef's snacks to begin with, that were ok. This was followed by amuse bouche that included some focaccia bread that was cold and not particularly tasty. The starters came next (squab and scallops). These were well presented and tasty, but they were not warm. Nobody asked us how they were. The main meals (venison and duck) were both good, no complaints there. Finally, even though we are not pudding people, we were impressed with this course. I would also like to add that we bought a bottle of wine, but ended up having to pour it ourselves after the initial presentation. I did expect this to be done for us.

Fantastic fine dining food matched with incredible service from all staff.

Really wonderful afternoon at The Art School. Service was a delight and food spectacular. We had the wine flight which was a delight with the food. Thank you !

5 star experience across food, service, and atmosphere! I booked the Moriarty Room for a business lunch. From enquiry to execution, the team was professional, responsive and very helpful. They helped me print name tags for the seating plan, arranged the table setting as per instructions and followed all dietary requirements with great attention to detail. The food was amazing as well. Thank you for the incredible experience! A big shoutout to the excellent service and impeccable team ❤️

A lovely restaurant never fails to please.

Top class meal from fixe price menu. Excellent value for the quality served. Lovely atmosphere and marvellous service. Great bar area downstairs for post-meal drinks. Can't wait to visit again.

Attended a festive lunch in conjuction with Harvey Nicols , food and service was amazing and special thanks to Lynsey Jones for Co-ordinating everything so beautifully …❤️

The food here is exquisite, with a menu that constantly changes. Highly recommended for couples and families. Have enjoyed each experience we have had here and the environment is excellent.

Exquisite food beautifully presented. Service was faultless. Lovely ambience. A lovely to my big birthday celebrations.

Absolutely fabulous, what an amazing dining experience, looking forward to our next visit xx

Every now and again you come across an excellent restaurant like the Art School. Excellent service, excellent food, and excellent wine - not much more to add really…except, perhaps, also an excellent and relaxing environment to enjoy a good meal.

Fine dining at its best! Credit to Paul Askew and his team. Always wanted to try this place and luckily was able to get a last minute booking to try their tasting menu. The scallops with langoustine bisque was the highlight of the meal for me. Scallops were so fresh and the richness of the bisque- perfect! Highly recommended!

The most expensive meal I have ever bought, but worth every single penny. We celebrated our anniversary here with the 9 course tasting menu. The food, service and atmosphere were exceptional. A 3 hour lunch attended by staff that were knowledgeable, and professional without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.

The Art School never fails to impress. On this occasion we booked for the 'Pre-Theatre' dinner. It was truly wonderful from start to finish. We had five courses, but they were, of course, perfectly balanced, and at the end you felt you had had plenty...

Visited for my Daughters 21st birthday, it was an extra special experience, staff were friendly & knew their stuff , food was excellent & good value.
