Eileen's By Steve Barringer in Central Bedfordshire

The best meal I've ever had! The food was excellent through out all the 7 courses, it was culinary journey with flavours and techniques that combined perfectly! The wine pairing was perfect, my wife especially enjoyed the dessert wines. Now I've eating here I fear other places I'll eat at will fall short!

Recently visited for the first time. Wonderful attentive service. Gorgeous flavours. Relaxing atmosphere. The best meal I’ve enjoyed for years. Thank you, I guess this means we’ll be returning!!!

Great food but what slightly spoilt the occasion was the ambiance. We were downstairs which we thought was probably an inferior position to dining upstairs. The decor was very hard with no soft furnishings to help tone down the noise. Maybe this was why the music was so loud, possibly so we couldn't hear each others conversations ? It spoiled the atmosphere somewhat and the whole room seemed more akin to a cafe than an upmarket restaurant. The food did redeem the experience though and next time I will ask for a table upstairs. When spending so on an evening there everything needs to be right, not just the food.

What an incredible place. We had the 7 course tasting menu with the wine flight. Every course was amazing. They change the menu every month, my favourite on this menu was the Plaice with scraps. Steve is so passionate about his customers having a great experience, it was lovely for him to come and have a chat with all the customers. Will definitely be going again

Eileen’s is a little Gem. On arrival you are met and served by the most friendly of staff. The food is delicious and the wines chosen compliment the dishes perfectly. Steve and his 2nd chef came out, explained the courses and they were keen to know our opinions. It’s a lovely intimate restaurant. We look forward to returning.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely incredible experience, 7 courses of some of the best food you are likely to eat! The waiting staff were lovely and very attentive and I really enjoyed the chef's explaining each meal as it comes out, I will be going again!

We had the privilege of being invited to a dear friends birthday celebration at Eileen’s. Having never experienced Michelin Star dining before we were intrigued to know if it warranted the hype and the price tag?We were not disappointed!Lovely intimate premises.Staff are friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Food and drinks were simply stunning!!!!!!We had the 7 course tasting menu with accompanying wines. First class!Had an espresso martini on arrival that was amazing.Not cheap but it’s fine dining at its best and IMO worth every penny!

This is a truly superb restaurant - exactly what eating out should be. We went for the first time on Tuesday 17th August (should imagine it's slightly more intimate on weekdays compared to weekends) and we will most definitely be returning.With its Michelin Plate, we were expecting good food, but it exceeded expectations - each dish of our 5-course menu was absolutely sublime. Steve and his team cook with such technique and flair, if visiting during August the red mullet dish will not disappoint, it was cooked to perfection.The whole meal was also expertly paired with some interesting and lovely wines, too - with each wine given all flavour and style explanations. The service from the front-of-house team was also faultless. Friendly, professional and well organised - never felt over-bearing but we never felt neglected. A really nice personal touch was a birthday card on the table as we'd booked for my birthday.There was also nothing pretentious about the feel of the restaurant, given the level of dining, so you're guaranteed a relaxed and comfortable welcome.If anyone has visited and enjoyed The Forest Side hotel in the Lake District, when it used to be under head chef Kevin Tickle, Eileen's will tick all the same boxes. I reviewed Kevin's menu and the expertise with locally-sourced produce from Steve was very reminiscent.We're delighted to find a restaurant with this level of excellence not only outside of London and local, but on our own street!Some might quibble about it being pricey, but we thoroughly recommend this restaurant - especially for a special occasion - it is worth every single penny. Keep up the good work Steve, Amy and the team - we can't wait to return!

Lovely staff, absolutely delicious tasting menu and an all round wonderful evening at Eileen's.
