Our first visit to Enzee and can thoroughly recommend. Lovely welcome on arrival and good table by the window. A saxonophist was playing Christmas music which was absolutely the icing on the cake for us. Really got us in to the Christmas spirit! Service was efficient but not rushed and both our meals were excellent. Will definitely return. Thank you to the whole team

Great meal in lovely location. Restaurant elegant with a relaxed atmosphere. Menu not large but had a good varied choice. Food well cooked and beautifully presented. Reasonably priced. Only criticism would be the lack of vegetables with the meal - they were more of a garnish. Would have liked a side dish of veg especially as the meat portions were quite large. Would definitely recommend.
