Fantastic roast, definitely the best in the area!

The crispy duck and prawns were outstanding.

Will be back

The food was outstanding, full of flavour and presented very well. Waiters and bar staff were extremely welcoming and friendly from the moment me and my fiancée stepped foot in the door to the moment we left. Food is fairly priced for what we received.

Building as a whole was very clean, warm, looked very nice inside and out and felt very homely.

No tip put on the bill which encouraged me to leave a tip as one wasn't asked for. Fantastic experience, thank you very much. Will be returning.

It was a beautiful birthday event, everything went smoothly. The place was nice and cozy, really quiet and romantic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely heavenly, we really enjoyed it. The place has a big wine list to browse and many nice plates to go along with it. Ideally book beforehand, especially if there is a special occasion, they accept bookings online.

Had a wonderful dinner here with our friends last week. Once you walk in, a modern deco yet with a cozy ambience. A great selection on the menu, food looks amazing as well as drinks, especially the seafood. Crispy duck and garlic butter prawns are must try. We also had the chance to try their festive seafood menu, Delicious! Everything is up to high standards. Owner and staff are friendly, professional and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Four of us had a really great meal here. Very subtle chic ambience/decor, excellent menu, perfect service and most importantly delicious food. My Korean steak tartare was the best I ever had (which to be fair, is only a few) - interesting Asian flavours and a good chilli back-hit. The sole was perfectly cooked, though with hindsight, I'd have asked for new potatoes rather than Bombay potatoes, which were a bit underwhelming. Also could have done with a bit more spinach. Anyway, we all loved it and will go back again I'm sure.

We've had meals here several times and each time everything was perfect. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food is excellent (the tiger prawns are definitely the menu's highlight!) and the service is second to none. Compared to other restaurants in Cambridge, it is a bit pricey but in my opinion it is definitely worthy. I love the location because specially on a weekend the last thing I want to do is to spend ages stuck in traffic and looking for parking in the city centre. Here I don't have to worry about that. It also doesn't get as busy as other places so we've been lucky enough to always get a table even as walk-ins. For all of these reasons I've been hesitant to share my review, since I wanted to keep this little gem to myself for as long as possible but I do think they deserve to be recognised and have lots of success so here it is. If you don't trust me, just go and try it for yourself ;)

We went there for our anniversary dinner. Lovely service and great food. It was very pleasant.

The sourdough with olive was very good. It made me crave for more! My mussels starter was great with fresh and huge mussels! I had duck chest and config leg for main. It was pink but still too tough for me. I'd prefer it to be cooked rare kind of pink. Config leg was nice. The buck choi looking vegetables on the plate had very tough leaves so it was very difficult to chew. But all in a it was pleasant. Partner was still hungry after the meal though. His veggie main did seem quite small so wouldn't recommend for a hungry person.

There was a nice surprise after we asked for the bill. See photo! The ice cream was lovely.

I'd visit again.

The place is lovely, the service and the food are exceptional. The price is more than reasonable for what I was served. I have to say I went on a relatively quiet evening so the experience might have been different if the place was busier.

I had the crab, prawn and avocado salad as starter and the breast and confit leg of duck as main. The quality of the ingredients was superb, everything was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The duck breast was extremely soft and juicy. The salad was an explosion of flavours that really reminded me of the sea - it was really something special.
The staff was very professional and the service was superb. The place was very clean and the staff was very careful cleaning and igenizing the tables between clients. The location is lovely although I have found it a bit too noisy indoor despite the place was only half full, and outdoor it was a bit noisy too due to the location next to the road. I sat outdoor in the end and it was still very pleasant despite the background noise of the cars.
Definitely one of my favourite places in Cambridge from now on. Also note: there is a big parking space reserved for the clients.
