We had an exceptionally good lunch (and extremely good value) at Michael Caines at Abode a few months ago and went back for dinner on the basis of that. Dinner was a totally different experience. The prices are very high (typcially £24 ish for a main course alone). The menu was very odd as it didn't flow and had no... more

We had the early bird special, a 2 or 3 course menu at a very reasonable price. Food -- excellent, service, professional, friendly and excellent, atmosphere, delightful. Noise level fairly low. Wine was also reasonably priced. more

My husband and I had a lovely evening here - we both went for the tasting menu - 7 courses of excellent food, and even the courses we weren't too sure we'd like were absolutely great.

The greeting was pleasant and efficient and the restaurant was very nice, decorated tastefully and the tables are not too close together. We were slightly disspointed by the... more
