Lovely food - now a la carte brasserie style rather than fine dining tasting menu but still lots of local produce and excellent quality. Ambience is now a bit less staid and was a great night. Service attentive and lovely staff just perhaps a tiny bit less slick than prior to change of chef. Overall a really good meal and we will probably visit moe often at this price point.

Wonderful place. Choice of menu excellent. Lovely dishes, plenty of flavours. Beautiful surroundings. Wine and cocktail choices unusual and good value. This is not your run of the mill restaurant. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable. I really can't wait to come back again. Thank you.

We had a lovely meal with friends and were very well looked after from start to finish. Portion sizes were good and between us we sampled much of the festive menu. Tasty food, with fresh veg accompaniaments. Craig and team made this a very special night.

The food was absolutely amazing ! The service unfortunately didn't match for me personally. I felt I wasn't attended to in a timely manner and felt I had to keep trying to make eye contact to get attention. On ordering food, ordered starters 1 didn't turn up seems like they missed it as they had to come and ask what we'd ordered, When my soup arrived I had no spoon to eat it with and wasn't spotted by the waitress on bringing it to my table. Oh and got the bill wrong at the end as well. However I must stress the food was amazing ! We will try again as this may have been a 1 off.

3rd time lucky? We've done the taster menu (previous chef) which worked out at £650 for 4. Good not great, and I've had the opportunity to eat at amazing restaurants. So disappointing. Next was a three course lunch last year for 2, £165 with one bottle of wine, again good not great. This time, three courses for £30 each, spot on! But...service was hit and miss, a combination of over and under qualified staff...the kicker, the wine list starts at £40 per bottle and a pint £7.50. The venue is dark, not very welcoming and the mood it sets is bleak. With the Paragon group just around the corner it's hard to justify the price. Give it a go, but I reckon you'll prefer the Wayfarer or even the Upper House for a Sunday lunch.

Fabulous lunch at Lunar today! Or first visit, but we'll definitely be back. We went for the 2 course lunch deal which is great value, but the food was so good that we ordered sides and desserts. The service was helpful and friendly throughout and they did a great job with my mocktail and our half shot lattes (not many places get that right!). Thank you!
