We had a lovely lunch at Dobson & Parnell to celebrate two birthdays and a pregnancy. We were very impressed by the excellent and personal service from the staff, and the food was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend it enough - will definitely be back again...soon.More

Firstly, friendly and professional staff are to be commended. Starters were good however Sunday roast disappointing. Pork consisted of two very finely sliced tiny pieces of loin, two tiny carrots, tablespoon of red cabbage and the same of creamy leeks with two roast potatoes which...were so dry they had obviously been cooked for hours in advance. The food was just warm and the restaurant itself very cold so not very comfortable at all which didn’t help. Really nice ambiance but seems to be a repeat pattern of the same issues? Surely the chef and management need to take this on board and do something about it? We would like to return but improvements must be made.More

We booked a table of 4 and mentioned it was our friend birthday, it was a lovely touch to have a card on the table when we arrived. Friendly service, though quite light touch for this calibre of restaurant. Food and wine were fantastic, cocktails...not so much.More

After my experience yesterday, I cannot begin to fathom how this restaurant has managed to maintain its place on the Michelin guide. Firstly, the server informed us that they had run out of beef. On an already limited Sunday lunch menu, this seems like sheer...bad planning. We were not informed of any alternative until after we'd ordered. Starters were ok, nothing special but no huge complaints. It then took roughly 30 minutes for the main to arrive. Surprising considering the restaurant wasn't particularly busy and seemed adequately staffed. The pork looked more like catering slices rather than off a proper joint of meat. The creamed leek was far too salty, the potatoes were dry and the little cabbage we were given looked like it had been scraped off the bottom of a pan. The vegetarian option was almost inedible. The entire plate looked dry and the gnocchi was overcooked. I suspect this being due to the fact that it had been sitting under a heat lamp on the pass while the other dishes were prepared. Overall, not worth the wait or the money which is really disappointing considering the good reputation that this restaurant seemingly used to have. If I'd looked at the reviews beforehand I would've had second thoughts about booking.More

An amazing Sunday lunch. Generous portions, delicious flavours. Exemplary service catering for allergies and diets. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will definitely be back.

I came for Sunday lunch with my partner. The staff were very friendly however it did take a long time for orders to be taken. The restaurant appeared to be fairly full but they did seem to have adequate staff working so I’m not sure...why there was such a delay. We both had a cocktail which was very nice and (eventually) managed to order a bottle of wine which was ok. Obviously the main reason for my visit was to try the Sunday lunch. I ordered the beef and my partner ordered the pork. Both meals were luke warm and there wasn’t a great deal of meat. There was two slices of beef on my plate and one of the slices was was very fatty so I left it. There wasn’t a great deal of veg either. This was my first visit. It may be that eating here through the week is better. It could be they were having an off day today, but based on my experience today it was expensive, food average and it took far to long to order so I won’t be rushing back.More

Started well, nice wine, friendly table service. Starters were good although they had ran out of the beetroot at 2,15pm? Main meal,Sunday roast, one pork one beef, okay, gravy was like water, one carrot, peas? Meat was okay as was Yorkshire pudding but overall a...very average effort. Desert... wow Ran out of sticky toffee pudding, replacement was a fruit hobnob with ice cream (no thanks) I ordered caramel Panna Cotta with poached pear... I never realised that you could make a panna cotta 3mm in depth, then top it with shavings of pear that were more like left over peelings... absolutely shameful Two starters, two mains, one desert and a bottle of wine £96 Won't be going back for a Sunday roast maybe the tasting menu is better. Sister resteraunt to Blackfriars but nowhere near as good.More

Fine dining tasting menu with a wine pairing for my partner's birthday and we've never been before. We're greeted with a birthday card from the restaurant which is a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The whole evening, the service, the food, the wine, the...effort was exceptional and for once the vegetarian tasting menu for my partner does not contain endless pasta or risotto. It's as imaginative as the normal menu and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much for an excellent evening and we can't wait to book again.More

Perfect Restaurant , great location , fabulous serving staff …. go there ! The food is amazing …. one small point i loved all the savoury taster courses but i chose my desert of a cookie with golden syrup …. bad move but my choice...! Overall it was a culinary adventure and the Cauliflower course was unreal as was the Scallop ….More

We arrived and were shown to our table and asked if we wanted water for the table and drinks order taken and brought quickly. Positives The staff were very attentive. The bread that we were given to start was amazing, along with the seaweed butter...that complemented it. The food was amazing and portion sizes generous. Good value for money. Negatives None I can think of. Will we return Yes, we certainly will.More

We received a voucher for a 3 course lunch with a glass of Fizz. We arrived at the restaurant and were immediately greeted and seated. I was very happy with the table position as I could see around the restaurant. The servers were attentive and...knowledgeable and helped us to make wise choices that suited our tastes. We decided to go for the wine pairings with the first and second courses which proved to be excellent wines. The food was presented beautifully and the tastes were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed each one. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and we were made to feel right at home by the staff. We will definitely be back.More

We opted for the 7 course tasting menu, first course was very plain danish pastry, the 2 meat dishes were duck, first one the duck was tough. Second one was basically a slice of toasted focaccia with a duck paste, not impressive. The fish dish...was okay the best out of the 7 but get like the 7 courses were missing more of this. The scallop dish with the fennel was very bland scallop itself was nice but not impressive by any means. The desserts again very bland a tart with a hint of blueberry running through it and the second dessert was also not exciting a nice textured cake with white chocolate spread on top. My partner opted for the vegetarian option was also very poor. Service was good which is expected but for £200 definitely very disappointed, as we left still hungry.More
