    Amazing food at a great value. Absolutely wonderful staff making one welcome and attentive without being intrusive. Great wine list even-though rather on the pricey side and higher end of mark up!

    Love everything about Medlar! The service from the moment we arrived was outstanding and the food absolutely delicious. Every course was special, each dish a work of art. Made perfect by the birthday greetings and dessert for my husband at the end. Thoroughly recommend and we will be back soon!
