Restaurants near Marle Place Gardens and Gallery

Reassuringly good as usual. The smoked salmon starter melted in my mouth. My duck curry was good but I didn’t enjoy it as much as a prawn curry I’ve had there in the past. Always lovely ambience and wonderful service.

Wow! We went to The Poet for the first time last night to celebrate a significant birthday and it was fantastic. From the moment we entered the building we were made to feel very special. The food was amazing and the staff very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed every bit of the evening. I would highly recommend The Poet to anyone wanting to experience top quality restaurant food and wine.

Outstanding experience. Visited Sunday between Xmas and New Year, excellent food, perfectly served. Charming service, genuinely friendly and kind from the lady with the ponytail and boots. Bit pricey but fair for the quality. Tables are not crowded and nice to have the choice of the vibrant bar area or the calmer dining rooms. Hoping for a dry sherry option next time and would love more choice of real ales on draught, but after all, one good one is enough! We will be back!

Our Christmas dinner at Essence was perfect in every way. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly served. The staff were very warm and friendly. All the thoughtful little extras were much appreciated. Everything was memorable and special and we may make this a family Christmas tradition!

Myself and 3 friends have a very enjoyable evening on Saturday. The reason I chose The Brasserie was that it had both vegetarian and gluten free options which we needed. Unfortunately there were no gluten free buns available for the burger and also no gluten free brownie. We all felt this was very disappointing and my friend who suffers from coeliac disease only had the starter she wanted available to her. It definitely was not gluten free friendly on Saturday night
