   Absolutely beautiful food, I literally cannot fault anything we had. We both had different starters and mains and shared everything. Every mouthful was delicious. We sat downstairs which is a nice area but not ideal for an intimate meal as you can hear everyone very clearly. The service was great and the staff super friendly so I will definitely go back.

   Went at Sunday lunchtime. Initially we were the only people in the restaurant but that didn’t make a difference to our experience. The waitress was so knowledgeable and talked us through the whole menu, making recommendations. The food was amazing- fantastic quality and flavours. Cocktails and wine were also fabulous! Restaurant was quite full by the time we left and had a lovely, cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!

   Very disappointing experience, as menu appeared very promising. Nowhere to hang our coats, had to put them on the back of our chairs, premises are more like a cafe than a restaurant, food uninspiring and expensive, got fed up being asked all the time, was the food OK ? Yes it was OK, but not at those prices.

   We enjoyed the food but it was an hour late. We were not offered anything to compensate for this delay. It was also our joint birthday celebration and the staff did not offer any mini cake, shot or complimentary drinks at all.

   Dear Rachael Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the food! We apologize for the delay during your joint birthday celebration. While we were busy, we understand the wait was frustrating and will work to improve this. We did wish you a happy birthday and noted you preferred to keep the occasion low-key. To make it special, our head chef created a vegan dessert just for you, which is not on our menu. We take pride in going the extra mile for our guests, and we're sorry if this wasn’t enough to make your celebration feel as festive as it should have been. While we don’t usually offer complimentary items for birthdays, we appreciate your feedback and will consider it moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, Alex & Virginia Kumquat Restaurant Team

   Terrific and inventive food and really excellent service. It was very busy and a bit loud when we arrived, however after a couple of tables finished and left it was fine.
