Inspector comments
"Immaculate British cooking at the very highest level."
Overview
This is a superb place, a stripped-back neighbourhood restaurant full of life and character. It’s understatedly elegant and bright and feels personal and very welcoming, with a delightfully airy atmosphere and brilliant staff. Every tiny detail is of the highest quality, and you really are witness to a chef at the top of her game, as Smyth and her team do their thing behind a glass partition. Up to 10 guests can sit at the chef’s table and watch the action.
