Shaun is committed to using the very finest ingredients and he will respond to what’s available week by week; even day by day. He told me, if a supplier rings and says, I’ve got some wonderful Sicilian lemons, or, I’ve got some fantastic new asparagus, some samphire or wild garlic, Shaun will take whatever is good and then decide on the best way to prepare it. He talks of a driving passion for his dishes and developing new ones. Having heard him
We stumbled across this bistro completely by accident but are we glad we did! Lovely outside seating overlooking the river with enough space between tables. We were spoilt for choice on the menu. We settled on the mussels and they were fantastic. Staff couldn't do enough for you and service was super quick. Will definitely be going back and would recommend.
Beautiful food , very reasonably priced for outstanding quality. Well lit indoors and out with a cosy and open atmosphere. 2nd time coming here and will likely return again .
Really nice food, great atmosphere and staff were amazing. I was able to eat no problem and they catered for my intolerances well, definitely reccomend
A Lovely Bistro
We have been fans of the chef since he opened 5 years ago. With this re-launch of the popular restaurant we see a new menu, and a new decor. But the same outstanding cooking.
We started with a 3-way starter: we shared the smoked salmon, the burratta salad and the oysters. ALL were fine - the burratta and oysters were even better. My main was a rib-eye which was cooked perfectly. For deserts my wife had a HUGE creme brulee and I had a chocolate/banana dish -finished off with an excellent Expresesso Martini (one of the best I've had here). All in all, a wonderful dinner at a fine restaurant. We had a great welcome, a nice bottle of wine and a fine meal. We SHALL return!
Great food absolutely amazing service - they get the order right first time every time- The view of the Henley river from the deck is amazing - they open early so really great place for breakfast if your mountain biking
Fine dining. Cozy, smart restaurant. Lovely decor. Good service. Amazing food and service. Images show our choices for the evening. We visited 16 March 2018 in blizzard weather. Staff were excellent and attentive. We had good conversation with the owner/chef, Shaun. Loved to hear his passion for food and dining.
Service and location are exceptional, service fairly formal. Food technically excellent with some interesting flavour combinations and unexpected textures. For me though the food lacked an 'edge' to set it apart, still perfectly acceptable as was the bill for this very well run restaurant.
You can expect an extraordinary menu with the very best local fare. Choices of a tasting menu or a la carte, they also have daily lunch special. Reasonable prices and high standards of service.
Had a lovely lunch here to celebrate my husband's birthday. Staff were very friendly and attentive, brilliant service and delicious food, the burgers are amazing! Gorgeous little spot on the river for lunch in the sunshine!🌞
Very good food, chef is certainly qualified. Chips could be better, but everything else was super.
