    Such a lovely, cosy little restaurant! We dined on a Friday night and felt very well attended to by staff, the seafood we had all tasted very fresh and as a Coeliac I felt very comfortable ordering as the menu was well labeled and the server had a good understanding of the ingredients and how items were prepared. It was a quiet and calm atmosphere with very nice soft music. Food was beautifully presented and there was a very nice selection of wines by the glass.

    Mixed fish starter avoid as: old used oil, too much salt and old fish was added to the fresh fish mix. Service was stretched on valentines night Hard chairs causing numbness restricted blood circulation Ribeye Steak served on top of the dauphinois potato in a bowl!! So the blood drained into the potato and there’s no place to cut the meat without mashing the vegetables plus the sauce (additional charge) was served having been overcooked in the microwave. Wine was good The bill was incorrect as two bottles of wine was substituted for two glasses of champagne an addition of £70 Frustrating

    First time visiting having heard positive noises about the restaurant in Godalming. Plenty of care on arrival and taking of orders. Only quibble was the time waiting for a starter whilst my wife had hers arrive and was finished by the time my order arrived. Quality of food however was exceptional and would still consider returning.

    I had one of my best ever meals at this restaurant 4 years ago, and it is amazing to know that things are still going strong. The food last night was amazing. The menu was wonderful and it feels very special to have something like this in our local community. If you haven't been already, give it a whirl!
