Nice food and very creative. But waitresses are very annoying. One of them has a very strong accent with her English. She explained our food but we could not understand her at all. They are walking with stressed attitude, it made our dinner not special.
My partner and I chose A'Mews to host a celebration for a dozen people recently. Dani organised the whole event beautifully and took special note of our food preferences. Our night didn't start off very well as we were 2 hours late unable to get a taxi with a baby seat for our 4 month old. We ended up having to catch a bus all dressed up and with a bulky pram. We were quite stressed by the time we arrived.
Dani and her team, however, had kept our guests very happy and she went out of her way to make sure our evening was beautiful. It was obvious that care and attention had been put into our evening including the configuration of the table.
Richard delivered a degustation meal that was 100% spot on and the matched wines were perfect. Our guests (mostly spoilt wine and food enthusiasts) are still raving about what a superb meal we had.
What an outstanding restaurant. Not only because of the calibre of the food, but the elegant unpretentious ambience, where it is obvious that love and attention is paid to every minute detail. Dani and Richard are both culinary legends!
Went to A'Mews for my friends birthday and what a delightful evening we had. Opted for the the degustation menu. The quality of the food was very good, food you can actually taste and the presentation was excellent. Service very attentive and friendly, Dani is a delightful host.
Tragic! Having worked in the area for the past six years I only discovered this restaurant today, only a few short weeks before we move our offices to the city. I'll be sure to make up for lost time, and soon to be lesser opportunity by popping in for lunch as often as I can over the coming weeks.
The quality of the produce is evident to all the senses, richly aromatic, vibrant colours and true textures, and a richness of flavour that credits the chef with a remarkable ability to source the best. Not even to mention treating it with great respect to produce dishes that make each and every ingredient sing.
And no review off A'Mews could pass without mention of Dani. What a refreshing host she is, knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, entertaining and accommodating.
These guys really deserve far more attention than they appear to receive. A foodies secret perhaps?
Lovely food. After reading all the reviews, I don't know how much more I can add, except to say that it won't disappoint. However, they really need to do something about their chairs. Hard metal and leather and awkward height meant that a 3 hour meal became very painful in the end. I had to constantly wiggle to keep feeling in my tush and walked away with back pain and my husband had knee pain from the chairs. It was such a shame because it marred the experience. I might fondly and faintly recall the meal in a few years, but I'll never forget the chairs!
Left a bitter aftertaste. Five of us had dinner here last Saturday night and were really impressed with the quality of the food and the standard of service. The wait staff were professional and knowledgeable both with regards to the food and wine. We had a wonderful evening, requested the bill, which we paid, leaving a substantial tip. As we were preparing to leave the kitchen staff came to introduce himself, inquired as to who had made the booking-somewhat unusual. I identified myself.
He then launched into a tirade expressing his fury and particularly at the person who had upset his wife, telling us "you know which one of you was rude to her," and demanded that we leave and never return. To this day we have no idea what was said that upset her to the point where she walked out of the restaurant refusing to re enter until such time as our party departed. The kitchen staff apparently had no idea what had upset his wife, but had no compunction about throwing about unsubstantiated claims.
On our way out I found the kitchen staff near the kitchen and explained to him that we had no idea what had upset his wife and would never deliberately offend anyone and if inadvertently we did we would apologise for the misunderstanding.
My partner and I recently enjoyed the degustation menu, complete with matching wines. All of the 6 courses were very well designed, prepared, and presented. The accompanying wines were carefully considered by an experienced palate.
Duration of the meal was approximately 3 hours - very appropriate for a degustation. Service was friendly, competent, and uncrowded attentative. This is not a large restaurant which in my opinion is to the diners advantage.
Many highlights during the meal - go and find out for yourself is my recommendation! We'll be back!
I love this place! I've been here 4 times in the past three months because the food is fabulous and the service is incredibly warm and charming. Richard's food is spectacular and Dani and Jacqui are lovely and welcoming. Portions are generous and the degustation menu is creative and very good value. I would eat here every week if I could.
