Lumiere is outstanding. The quality of everything is superb from ingredients to presentation. The wine pairing was insightful and very well chosen. The staff are charming and efficient. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. The only negative - and it is a small one - is that the interior design is a little dull and unsophisticated for dining of this calibre. However, that is obviously subjective and certainly wouldn't stop us returning. Congratulations to the owners and the whole team for such a wonderful & memorable evening.

An excellent four course lunch. Calm and expertly hosted. Good spacing between tables. Not overly taken with the touch pad menus as loses the aesthetic but otherwise, a lovely experience.

A fabulous lunch to celebrate a birthday! Everything was absolutely perfect! The food was delicious and the wine a delight, the staff present but not intrusive in any way! We have already booked another lunch!
