Food was wonderful although the Lillies in the restaurant were overpowering and smelt of urine.Would definitely return for the food

We ordered 3 courses plus coffee and were treated to five delightful complimentary accompanying hors d'oeuvres.The service was impeccable, being professional informative and friendly thus making an absolutely delightful visit to Emsworth, thank you very much.Chris Jupe.

9/10 - At it's best this was worthy of a Michelin star, extra kudos for running a tasting menu alongside an al la carte one. There is the occasional dish which isn't as good as the rest but that's the only downside, the service is impeccable and overall this is the place to go in Hampshire for a fine dining experience.

Having recently been to The Fat Duck, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Pollen Street Social, and several other top restaurants in England I can say this was definitely not on that level. But I appreciate the effort of trying to achieve a multiple course British 'haute-like' dining experience. There are many areas it is lacking in. The drinks menu only had wines, no none alcoholics, beers, etc and on a laminated A4 sheet and the menu has 7 different fonts. The first impressions after sitting down in this respect was thus a bit poor. £75 a head for the 8 'Moments' is probably priced too highly and outside the expectations of the local area. Near-ish places like Restaurant 27 (priced lower, fewer courses) or Cassons (priced lower also tastings only offered on special occasions) seem to have done this a bit more successfully. £44 for the Japanese A4 fillet which tasted off and didn't come with chips was the worst part of the whole experience and wish it was never ordered to be added on. Overall if I had just had the 8 course I think it would have been a much more respectable meal. I could see where some lower recent reviews are coming from in regards to the finish, like the meat not being prepped with grisle left on it. Which was apparent with the "Wagyu Beef Black Truffle" where every part of it was great except for the meat. Or the oddly hot n cold trout. They are playing with some higher end ingredients (which are a bit dated), but the execution comes off as a bit sloppy. And with what I assume is a low turnover of ingredients. think they would be better off concentrating on using fresher, but lower cost ingredients. Like the scallops and caviar was a lovely dish, but the caviar could easily be swapped out for something along the lines of Rick Stein's hazelnut n coriander butter or other creamy sauces for similar impact. I admire the effort, but cannot see this establishment continuing without changes as I doubt they can turnover enough of the ingredients to make it profitable. I'm giving them 4 stars as I hope they change their menu and perhaps modernise the food to do better so that one day I can give them 5 stars. Basically if you're desperate for a tasting menu in the area, it might be worth checking out, but not worth going out of your way for it.

We had an excellent one night stay. The room was very comfortable with a compact bathroom with a rain shower. The continental breakfast was more than ample and was delivered to the room. We enjoyed the communal balcony (which we had to ourselves) over looking the harbour. All in all very nice indeed.
