I attend a monthly networking event at the Oak and Glass and have a delicious meal every time. The food is served discreetly around the meeting agenda and water jugs are constantly refreshed. The service is professional and friendly. I would highly recommend the restaurant as a venue for any type of meeting whether it is a networking event, entertaining clients, lunch with colleagues or coffee and cake with friends!

We were lucky enough to eat there on two consecutive evenings (Friday & Saturday) as part of a competition prize that also included two nights in their gorgeous Uphill Suite (see separate review). We had an amazing six course Taster menu on the Friday, which allowed us to sample a wide range of their food, and every dish was a perfect work of art, as well as tasting incredible! It is the best food I've had in the West for a long, long time. Even the pre-dinner nibbles like roasted nuts and olives, and the home-made breads, were delicious. We ate 'al la carte' on Saturday and had a mix of favourites from the previous evening and some of the other dishes we hadn't tasted before. All were amazing in presentation and taste again. Just quite, quite exquisite. We have been recommending it to all our 'foodie' friends!

The breakfast, should you decide to stay the night, was served in the light & airy conservatory and was top-notch too. A full english, made with quality ingredients, that still allowed room for the lovely fruit, toast and cereals. As the sun came out we then had a top up of the great coffee and sat in the private garden to enjoy it. They are open for coffe, light lunches and afternoon teas from 10am-5pm too, although we didn't get to taste these as my stomach wouldn't stretch that far! I can't imagine that they'd be anything less than perfect though!

Throughout our meals and stay the staff were professional, knowledgable, friendly and really helpful, even when the restaurant was full to bursting on Saturday night. It made for one of the most relaxed and indulgent weekends I've ever had, which are few and far between since having children! The whole setting is just great too. It's just off the seafront in the quiet end of town, in a huge Victorian townhouse that has been beautifully decorated with a fantastic mixture of period features and modern facilities. Lighting, flowers - everything really - was just perfect.

A huge, huge thank you and well done to Amy, Kate and all their team. We'll be back!

Visited here on a Saturday evening early May 2011. Good job we had booked a table as the restaurant was full. Nice table in the restaurant extension/conservatory. Plenty of room on the table and nice crisp white table linen and napkins.
Menu is of the size that you have the impression that everything is not bought in and simply microwaved. Good choice and portions just right. Drinks prices not too high.
If there is any criticism of here it is that there was rather a long wait between courses and then a wait after ordering our food. Also the waiters did not always remember who was having which dish and had to ask. Having said that the staff were on the whole attentive and very pleasant. Would definitely come here again.

A lovely Sunday lunch. Very nice, well presented and beautifully cooked food. A super variety to choose from and such excellent value. Service was friendly, attentive but not in the least intrusive. Thank you, we really enjoyed ourselves (really nice loos too)!
