Had an amazing time at Host last night with my partner. We got the Chef's menu and it's basically bite size shared plates for the starters and size with one main. It was simply divine! We had a sirloin for main and it was cooked at perfection for us, the waiting staff was really nice and friendly. Now I would mention that it's a small place so need to book way in advance and to be aware that it can be very noisy. But I would definitely recommend and would go back. We loved it!

Loved the service and the food was divine. Just to note though, the restaurant was really cold last evening which was really uncomfortable. I did mention it to one of the waiting staff. It might be something you could look at because everything else is just 🤩 perfect.
