We have eaten here several times and each time have had delicious food and attentive service. It is on the pricey side but well worth it for a special occasion. The duck dish that I had on my last visit was the best I have ever had and still stands out in my memory. We will definitely be coming back... more

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 food was perfect along with the presentation and attention to detail. I'd certainly recommend this restaurant to someone looking for that special night... more

The soup was OK but no better than I make, definately not special. When I was served my main, I thought it was a... more

I have eaten here once (at someone else's expense, obviously!) and I had quail's eggs as a starter and pheasant for my main course. Both were good, but after spending £24 on the main course alone, I was expecting so much more. The restaurant is lovely, it's well laid out and the staff are OK but I couldn't help feeling... more

I booked a table at the restaurant for our wedding anniversary. Whilst making the booking I discussed the celebration and was told that a small suprise could be arranged for my husband. 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
