    The tasting menu was disappointing. The food was beautifully presented however lacked depth of flavour and some of the dishes did not work well. The two main meat dishes (venison ragu and beef cheek) were poor mainly due to the quality of the meat used. I left half my Ragu because I discovered a large (1-2 inch) fatty gristly lump of meat that was clearly not intended to be there as the Ragu was a minced texture. It was a revolting discovery and the waiter did not care that it had put me off eating half my dish. The beef cheek was gristle and fat. Again, not appetising and I didn't eat it and the waiter did not notice or care. Initially we were seated next to an unmade table with a pile of napkins, left presumably for laying tables later that evening. This did not feel special...a bit like being seated next to an open laundry cupboard. I had a booking with some friends later in a few weeks which I shall be cancelling. I won't be returning.

    The food was excellent. Each course was carefully put together using wonderfully delicious fresh ingredients. Our wine was superb and the owner/ Sommelier took the time to discuss it with us.

    It was an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly professional and welcoming. They even overheard that I was celebrating my wife’s birthday and brought a plate of brownies with a happy birthday wish written in chocolate. Excellent touch!

    This was my fourth visit and did not disappoint. This will now be a regular venue for me. Easy for me to get to by public transport so that I can enjoy the fine wines. Plan next time to try the Al carte Menu on a Saturday evening.

    Delicious food, great choice of drinks, value for money and warm hospitality makes this restaurant stand out in the Woking area. Would highly recommend it for lunch and dinner any day and for any occasion.
