The best restaurants in Brentwood West Brentwood East of England

First time coming to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Everything about this place is excellent. The staff are all really friendly and attentive. We had a mixture of the starters and sushi all which were fantastic. My favourite was probably the duck gyoza. Cocktails were first class , great selection and really well made. Special thanks to Ruby and Asharna who looked after us and made us feel really welcome. Both are a credit to the restaurant. Will definitely come back.

From the moment we stepped inside, I could feel the weight of disappointment settle like a dark cloud. The decor, desperately clinging to a bygone era, screamed for a total overhaul. It was as if time had forgotten this place, leaving it to slowly fade into obscurity. But the real heartbreak came when we tried to enter the conservatory. My husband, who uses a wheelchair, was forced to wait in awkward silence as staff scrambled to lay down a ramp—a ramp that should have been seamlessly integrated into the experience. The humiliation of being treated as an afterthought, rather than a cherished guest, cut deep. This may not be an issue for everyone, but for us, it was a glaring stain on what was supposed to be a special night. The menu was straightforward—two or three courses—but the food, while pleasant, lacked the magic we’d experienced in the past. The absence of any offer for additional sides, like vegetables, left us feeling overlooked. Yes, we could have asked, but should we really have had to? The glass of champagne, the supposed crown jewel of the evening, was a complete letdown, tasting more like a cheap sparkling wine. It was a bitter sip that lingered long after the meal. Service, too, was a shadow of what it could have been—hurried, inattentive, and devoid of warmth. And then, the final blow: the bill. We were charged for three three-course meals and two desserts, when there were only two of us. After pointing out the error, the revision still wasn’t correct. But my husband was eager to leave, so I paid, my heart sinking as I realized how badly we’d been overcharged. And to top it off, I’d left a tip, making me feel like a fool. I had specifically noted in our booking that this was a celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary—a milestone deserving of at least a small gesture, perhaps a candle or a special touch. But there was nothing, not a single acknowledgment of our special night. The lack of care and attention to detail left us feeling hollow. What was meant to be a joyous occasion was instead marred by disappointment and regret, a night that should have been memorable for all the right reasons, but was instead unforgettable for all the wrong ones.

Food was very average, they messed our complete order up and then was very rude in return for their mistakes. Delivery took longer than quoted and when my wife called for a update they said it wasn't even being prepared. AVOID - absolute disaster

Service was good, food a little bland but served a purpose while working away from home, WiFi was good so could work at the table.

Absolutely abysmal, if you order a donner kebab you expect it to be made up..everything was separate in cartons, the kebab meet was curled up like it had been there since lunchtime, the sauces (chillie & garlic was from iceland) clearly on the bottle..£11.50 to do it yourself donner kebab kit, Shocking, terrible, and dam right lazy

Was the only person waiting at the bar. The owner was taking to what I assume was a vendar, gave them a free sampler of 4 beers. I waited 9 mins at an empty bar to be served and nobody served me so I left. After 3 minutes I decided, as I was the only person at the bar, to not ask to be served. Can’t judge them on anything else.

Spent 2 hours at the bar. Had the most delicious sides. The bar staff were very welcoming , professional and friendly. Harvester have clearly invested in their new menu. Real quality in these sides.

Walked out - the lady serving was so slow, we waited 25 minutes for her to do 3 milkshakes for the people in front & there was still more to the order so we left. Need more staff.

The middle of the chicken was frozen and had that old freezer taste.
