   Fabulous meal. Precise cookery executed to perfection. Intensity and simplicity of flavours letting the quality ingredients sing. Local sourcing,commitment to no waste and charming knowledgeable staff. Best dining experience in a very long time.

   I cannot fault The Ugly Butterfly experience. Its food, location, service, and vibe are top notch. Having been many times, this time I took a friend for afternoon tea and she is also now a big fan! Adam Handling and his team have a special knack of making you feel so welcome - each visit is like coming home, just with far more exciting, innovative food and a far better view! Reccommendation - go the extra course and add the caviar!!

   The dining experience we had at the Ugly Butterfly was one of the best we have ever had. The food was unbelievable and the staff were fantastic all night. Nothing was too much trouble which just added to the amazing ambiance of the setting. I could not recommend this venue any higher and the staff and the experience are a credit to the vision to Adam Handling. We will certainly be coming to dine again. Thank-you everyone Spencer Casey

   The amazing team at the Ugly Butterfly made our dining experience something to remember. The tasting menu was beautifully presented and the most amazing dishes prepared as we watched the chef and his team. Excellent wine pairing was tailored to our tastes. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very special. Go and try it, you won’t regret it.
