Waiting staff were excellent and food was very good. I do find the acoustics very difficult in the main building. A few busy tables but not full but it’s very noisy.

Not a beat missed. Scallops, monkfish and cassoulet were first class. The negroamaro was especially good value, an absolutely delicious wine. Excellent service, as always.

Lovely buzzy atmosphere, excellent staff and delicious food. Wine list was more interesting than usual, with a mix of French, Italian and Spanish choices in the main. It was nice to try something new. Gees looked after our table of 10 very well, especially as the restaurant was very busy. A very successful and fun birthday evening, thank you!

Really lovely staff. We asked for an extra space as we were visiting my daughter and she wanted to join us at the last minute and she was running late but they were so accommodating and found us a table. Many thanks

Really lovely food. Octopus was cooked as well as I’ve ever had and every course was delicious. The location, in an old greenhouse, is lovely too. Great staff. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The ambience here is heavenly. I adore the summer house! The staff were all kind, helpful, and considerate. They let us stay for about an hour chatting after we finished eating! The food was not as good as I'd hoped, though. I guess that's literally a matter of taste, so try it and see if you love it. The Pedro Ximénez sherry was *perfection*.
GeesResponded on November 25, 2024
Thank you for your kind and informative review, we are thrilled to see that you enjoyed your time with us and specifically the Pedro Ximenez! Regarding the food quality, I do apologise that you did not find this as enjoyable and I do hope that you will come back again in future for an even better experience overall. Kind Regards, Roxy - Restaurant Manager
