Burrata to start with flavour overwhelmed by pine nuts and additional £7 for optional two strips of anchovy bewildering and maybe predictably unnecessary. There's a good reason we routinely pair mozzarella with sweet juicy tomatoes and basil. Jus with pork belly over reduced, with raisins and more pine nuts and mustard seeds adding slightly odd flavours. There were so many mustard seeds and sauce so reduced it looked like brown tapioca. Pistachio and lemon ganache dessert very pretty but overly sweet and textures too similar...and more pine nuts in middle. I was hoping for a nice zingy tart lemon layer to counteract the pistachio ganache but it was sadly lacking.
I understand there is a new executive chef and the menu is under development, it was our first visit and we probably wouldn't rush back, at almost £100 a head it just wasn't quite good enough.
The prices are what you might expect for 'the four seasons' but with limited fine dining the local area the quality certainly seems worth it.
Great setting for a special night too.
