Rai

Beautiful food, creative presentation, great staff and friendly service. We had a great time for my birthday and enjoyed a winter tasting menu. We also had great Saké recommendations. Reason for giving 4 stars and not 5 is that, for the price point, the decoration would really use a good refresher (the tables could be sanded or changed, the toilets need to be cleaned/fixed, the paint needs re-doing especially in the staircase going to the bathroom etc) I don't think the maintenance of the space reflects well on the quality that the plates convey.

Beautiful restaurant with very welcoming friendly staff. Food beautifully presented was the best sashimi I’ve ever had and didn’t know grilled mackerel could taste so amazing. I even discovered I liked fresh wasabi. It was brilliant to watch the chefs preparing all the food with such care and delicate precision. Would highly recommend and will be going back when I can.

We had such a fantastic dinner at Rai on Saturday, choosing the premium tasting menu. The food was so delicious and the staff super attentive. Getting an explanation of each dish really added to the experience. All staff were so nice and professional, Pravin stood out to us because he always had a smile on his face and provided us with 10/10 service. We would love to re visit Rai again in the future and would highly recommend, especially for a special occasion. Hannah & Paolo ☺️

Just wow, absolutely stunning restaurant, presentation, food, everything. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough for a high quality, special meal. There is not an a lacarte menu, there are set menus only, but so worth it. We got the seven course plus wagyu course, and were so full, happy and entertained after it. Everything is presented so beautifully, from the sashimi coming out in a wooden forest like structure, to the dessert coming in a beautifully wrapped treasure chest, everything is considered. Lovely flavours and variety. Also loved the information provided as you went, for example the demonstration on how to make wasabi using a traditional wasabi grinder. You will have a wonderful time!

Great and original Japanese fine dining experience. We went on a Friday night and chose the deluxe tasting menu (9 courses) and a bottle of wine. Food: Every course was good and enjoyable. The salmon tartar, scallops, seabass, and ice cream were amazing; perfect temperature, original tastes, and wonderful presentation. I was delighted that we got fresh wasabi, which is extremely rare in Europe. Personally, I found the sashimi and the tofu courses could be improved and portions could overall be sightly bigger. Service: The service was overall quite good. The wasabi presentation in particular was enjoyable and interesting. Courses were served promptly with very little waiting time. Great! A little more attention to details could be paid. We initially got mismatched wine glasses (one red, one white) and the sheer weight of some of the plates made placing them gracefully quite difficult. So, the service is good with slight room for improvement.
