“ Amazing birthday dinner here for my sister on Friday night! We were a larger table which is no easy feat in a small restaurant but the staff made us feel very welcome and fitted our party of 7 in, we all had cocktails (highly recommend the dragonfruit cocktail and the apple and wasabi margarita that comes with sorbet!) we had a mixture of the small plates and a few mains between us and each one was individual and enjoyable! The katsu rice cubes are a great welcome snack and the lamb dish with chimichuri was some of the best lamb we’ve ever had! My sister chose the yellow Thai curry which was very fragrant and tasty and her partner had the swordfish which was cooked perfectly! The whole evening was enjoyable with the best service from this wonderful kitchen and the waiting staff, and we even enjoyed a sweet birthday treat of Ube doughnuts which came with a decorate birthday plate and cake! Thank you so much everyone! We will definitely be back! ”
“ Unbelievable meal tonight - incredibly creative dishes like nothing we’ve had before. Including duck sausage, lamb laksa sea bream risotto with tempura scallops. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. They managed to get us in last notice at a bar table. Really special dinner - thank you so much. ”
“ Superb food, here I had the best dinning experience of my stay on Isle of Wight in early October. From start to finish, boy they didn’t disappoint! Also I had the pleasure of speaking to a lovely couple who were sitting in the table next to me and are regular guests at the restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. ”
“ So so so amazing. I honestly think this is one of the best restaurants experienced. In fact ‘restaurant’ doesn’t do it justice because it sounds a bit traditional, and this is just incredible. An informal, small, intimate restaurant. Exquisite and inventive food (Adam’s cooking is off the chart - flavours are amazing, quality ingredient sourcing is high on the agenda) , Ruby is the best host - kind, professional, fun and makes amazing cocktails. Just go.... , but book ahead. ”

“ A Culinary Adventure Worth Braving the Storm Despite Storm Darragh’s attempt to dampen the day, my partner, our son, and I celebrated my birthday with a unforgettable trip to the Isle of Wight. The weather may have roared, but it only added to the adventure. The crowning moment of the day was an incredible dining experience. Originally booked for later, we called ahead, and the restaurant graciously welcomed us earlier. Two delightful ladies welcomed us with such charm and hospitality that the meal—already spectacular—became even more memorable. The food itself was a masterpiece—a stunning fusion of English, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese influences. My partner, a trained and seasoned chef, was so captivated by the experience that he momentarily forgot to leave a tip! But we’ll make sure to express our gratitude properly the next time we visit. It was a perfect blend of love, adventure, unexpected kindness and extraordinary flavors - exactly what a birthday should be. ”
