Opus One

My partner and i went to the restaurant on a Friday night as a valentine treat.

While the atmosphere and staff were excellent and the presentation of the food beautiful the taste let it down considerably. I was excited to see such a variety of game and sea food on the menu and ended up with the guinea fowl while my partner had the duck breast with squid. While my meal was pleasant it was fairly plain and a little on the salty side my partners food was hard to finish as the salt was so overwhelming! The desert on the other hand did not disappoint a beautifully rich chocolate tart with a refreshing raspberry coulis. Overall we were disappointed with the food especially when you consider the fairly steep price and would be unlikely to return.

Went to the restaurant on a busy Friday night, during the christmas party season. The restaurant was not over busy which was nice, the atmosphere was lovely. My husband had pigeon for starters which was nice and lamb for main. I opted for steak which was cooked to perfection. The meal came to £80!! That was only with 1 glass of wine and 1 beer. The service was good although we had to wiat nearly an hour for starters, then the main course came 5 minutes after the starter. I would eat there again only as a treat as it was over priced for what was on offer, plus not much choice on the menu.

if you go to this restaurant, be sure to be seated in the restaurant area and not by the bar. the menu by the bar is a pared down version of the dinner menu, and although prepared by the kitchen some of the worst food i've attempted to eat in my life. the only thing that was edible were the soups. whomever prepares them knows what they are doing. a dining companion ordered the steak....it looked gray and was tough and tasteless. vegetables were so over-salted that it literally hurt your mouth to eat them. blackened chicken was really poached chicken. on top of this, our food took over 45 minutes to come out, and this was on a slow night.

I last went to this restaurant 2 years ago, the restaurant was well presented and kept to a high standard. The cocktails at the bar were yummy! The food was delicious. It was the place where my husband proposed to me and I have to say, the staff were lovely. The waitress was as excited as I was and the manager brought us champagne on the house. They made it a very special moment for us and we are booking to go back soon for out 1st wedding anniversary. This is not a place we would go to regularly, but is great for a special occasion.
