Arrived in the rain... with some help from the iphone map. walked through the door and were greeted…read moreby a friendly waiter. how did he know we had walked through the door? the place is small but well decorated, it has the feeling of a french mason, med villa and english eating room. the dinning room has seating for about 20 people served by 2 people and a matron. the service was good, friendly. if you are pretentious about service, pretty waitresses (it is waiters) and the london style then this service will probably not match your style. the menu is set with a range of about 8 options for each courses. the food was beautiful, and well balanced flavours and tastes. the wine was good and the bill was came in under estimate. £45 head including tip, drink, 3 courses and port. I will be returning.

So. After a long time coming, I made it to the Willow Tree last night. It was the final restaurant…read morein Taunton that I hadn't been to, so I was excited as well as disappointed that I'd gone through them all. We had a warm welcome in there and we were shown to our table right away. We were a table of six - four chefs and two publicans. It's tiny in here, but that really adds to the ambience and charm of the place. I'd imagine that I'd feel a bit self conscious if I was on a date with a hot lady, the tables seem pretty close.. An awkward silence would be noticed by all the other diners. As for the food though, it was really good. I had a game terrine to start. Roast duck with dauphinoise for mains and a sticky chocolate cake for pud. We had a measly bit of delicious home made bread as well, I like to be in charge of my own bread, not be offered one slice, however delicious is it. We went on a Wednesday, so it was under £30 for three courses. That's great value if you think about it. A duck breast would cost maybe £16-17 elsewhere, then split the other two courses between the rest. We spent a fortune, but we had lots of wine. All in all a very nice place, and something Taunton needs to hang on to before it is totally overrun with faux Italian joints. I'll go again for sure. Cheers.
