“ Went with family and friends on a Saturday night. 6 of us altogether, only I had been before. Everyone had fabulous food, the service and atmosphere were fantastic. Will definitely be returning. ”
“ We saw that this little place was open and went in, because we were on holiday and were feeling good. It is basically one room, served by ONE waitress (I forget her name, very sorry). It was one of the best meals we have ever had! Delicious food! Wonderful service! Great place and simply fantastic.. Everyone from everywhere or anywhere should go. Best restaurant we have ever been to. Go! Go! Go to this!! ”
“ Wow. This hidden gem is a must visit. It's been a few years since I had visited here and I will not leave it that long again! The food was breathtaking. Every mouthful was full of perfectly balanced flavours. Menu was varied and brilliant, service was quick and attentive, whisky selection was astounding! We sampled the Hake from the specials menu, the duck and the pork belly. Each was entirely flawless. Best of all, the prices were entirely reasonable, especially considering what you get! ”
“ I was treated to dinner here for my birthday last night. Unbelievably I've walked past this place maybe hundreds of times but had never realised what a hidden gem we had right under our noses! The restaurant was just impeccable from the decor to the atmosphere to the wait staff to the absolutely stunning food. Our waitress was just perfect, she was attentive without hovering, she anticipated everything we may need and was very friendly. The food... Oh. My. God. The Food! It was quite simply the best food I've ever eaten at any restaurant! It was brought out in a timely fashion, no long wait between courses, and everything was cooked to perfection! I cannot praise the chef enough. When we were being seated my partner briefly mentioned it was my birthday and the chef then, very thoughtfully, wrote happy birthday in toffee sauce on my dessert plate which I thought was a lovely touch, especially since we hadn't made a big deal of it being my birthday. Its little things like that which will make us go there again and recommend it to everyone we know. How lucky we are to have such a first class restaurant in our little city ”
“ I absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing. We had the 7 course tasting menu, and everything was cooked to perfection. My only criticism is that the waitress was on her own. She couldn't do enough for everyone, taking orders,seating guests, serving food, serving drinks, and operating the till, at one point she was actually running. She was amazing, but they definitely need more staff. I highly recommend the Hanson and we can't wait to go back. ”
“ This is a place for a 'special' meal as it is quite pricey but definitely worth it. Set lunch menu, I'd checked it online beforehand as I need both vegetarian and lactose free. I didn't see anything suitable so emailed the restaurant a couple of days before. They immediately emailed back, helpfully suggesting alternatives. I had a gorgeous vegan meal - pictured, tempura avocado, vegan risotto and vegan ice cream with berry compote. Also pictured, smoked salmon starter, duck main course and chocolate dessert. 5* meal and very well looked after by the lovely wait-staff member. ”
