I took my husband to Faffless for his birthday dinner on a Wednesday night, and we opted for the 5-course tasting menu. We each chose different dishes to try as much of the menu as possible, and every dish was exceptional. Since I was driving, I stuck to water, but my husband went for the wine pairing and was thoroughly impressed. The service was top-notch, with each dish presented with a warm smile and detailed explanation. I will definitely be returning!

Excellent food but experience was let down by service level and dishes not available despite being early in the evening. Suggest adding a 3 course option. Not because of cost but amount of food.

Lacking in atmosphere, expensive wine & food - the meat/cheese sharing board most definitely not value for money. Sadly I can not recommend this wine bar.

Great food, service and venue. Impressed by the wine recommendations. Owner front and center ensuring quality service, food and drink. Looking forward to returning! Also, recomend trying the absinthe bar, had some cocktails delivered up from there which were excellent.

The food and the wine were lovely, however for a limited menu there were a couple of things they didn’t have. The staff weren’t the most attentive, we had to go to the bar for another bottle of wine. I really enjoyed the live singers, they created a lovely atmosphere, however one guy was very loud, felt we had to shout to hear each other over him but then that felt rude. But did enjoy and would go back£
