    I had a wonderful lunch at Andrew Edmund’s today. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charming, intimate feel that made for a relaxed dining experience. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients that showcased a perfect balance of flavors. From the starters to the dessert, everything was thoughtfully presented and full of depth. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was just right. It was a truly delightful meal, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Particularly enjoyed the sharing pie today.

    Definitely worth seeking this one out. As per other reviews, a nice chilled vibe with friendly and accommodating staff. The burger is really good and done perfectly - but equally this place serves vegans and vegetarians as well. It would take a lot not to keep the casual diner happy such is the selection of tasty things on offer. For anyone reading this review and looking for somewhere to eat this evening, go for it as you will not disappointed.

    Had a fantastic evening at the Winter Garden at The Landmark—a beautiful setting with an elegant atmosphere that made for a perfect night out. The food was excellent, with each dish well-prepared and beautifully presented. The ambiance, with its stunning high ceilings and warm lighting, added to the experience. A special shoutout to our waiter, Ant, who truly made the night memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and great recommendations elevated the evening. He ensured everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely welcome. Would highly recommend dining experience with top-tier service. Will definitely be back!

    Very quiet the evening we decided to eat. Asked if the bartender could put on some music to cut through the silence. Salad starter was nicely presented, fresh and tasty. My wife’s main course (filet) was cooked to order and delicious according to her. Unfortunately, my chicken main was a little dried out but the balance of the meal was very good. Portions were adequate. Overall good experience.
