   21 is a real gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous and there's a lovely atmosphere. Although it was busy, the noise from other diners was not intrusive and there were plenty of staff to ensure you were well looked after. On that note, the staff are an absolute credit to the restaurant; friendly, chatty and smiley, whilst still being professional. They were attentive, without being intrusive, which is a real skill to master. Every member of staff from front of house reception, waiting staff, sommelier and bar staff, helped to make our visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not sure why I haven't been here before, perhaps I thought it might be a little too formal but that's my mistake as it's not in the slightest bit stuffy, quite the opposite. I may have lost out on a wonderful place and some fantastic food over the years because of a misconception, but I plan on rectifying that error by going back as often as I can from now on.

   Everything was just perfect - the food is of the highest quality, the wine was fabulous (great advice from the sommelier suggesting a cheaper one than I would have picked) and the service from Rosie was outstanding. It was an important family gathering, pre-Christmas, and it was just fabulous. Thank you 21 and all the staff!

   The service at Café 21 is always exemplary. My friend has dietary challenges and nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb. We had a brilliant Christmas 'do' and intend to return in the near future.

   Always a pleasure to return to 21. The service was wonderful and couldn't be faulted. My friends meals were all fabulous and we all chose from the Christmas menu. My butternut squash was overly spiced for me, but I was presented with a glass of dessert wine in compensation. The restaurant itself is elegant, really comfy chairs, beautiful decor and white linen table cloths and napkins - what a difference they make!! Looking forward to returning in the not too distant future.

    We were a party of three and all ordered differently. The food was delicious but a little more sauce/gravy would have been nice for all the mains. The red cabbage served with the game pie was too acidic. However, we all had a lovely time and will return.
