There was outdoor areas with lighting, but a tad too cold out. Cute areas though. They were pretty busy as well and luckily we got a good table. Wait staff were friendly, pace of service was a little slower than what I'm used to. Had to hail someone down quite a bit, but overall food was great. We started out with cocktails because there was a special, happy hour going on. Potted Devon crab with avocado guacamole and chicken liver parfait. Not sure why I expected the Devon crab to be hot.... but it was tasty. I craved a couple more pieces of toast. I got the duck leg confit with citrus sauce and my friend got St. Austell's Tribute Steak and Ale pie. The duck was delicious. Perfectly cooked, sauce went well with it. The Dauphinoise potato, I wanted more so badly. My plate was cleaned except for the bones. The steak and ale pie was not bad, my friend enjoyed it. We finished dinner off with their pistachio soufflé. I asked what was recommended for dessert, never had a pistachio soufflé before, and it was rich and sweet. Offset by the chocolate ice cream, which had a slight bitterness to it. Perfect combination. The table next to us got the chateaubriand for two. That looked amazing and had my mouth watering. If I'm ever back in the area, I do plan on making another trip hopefully.

I am always a fan of a good country pub. We were two thirds of hour way round a Sunday country walk…read moreand found ourselves a bit peckish and in need of some refreshment. This place definitely delivered. We sat outside in their pleasant garden. Only downside is it's not south facing so wasn't in the sun. We got a bit chilly after a while so we moved to one of their tables with a heater. Much more cosy. Service was very friendly. They brought some water and offered biscuits to our dog (always a winner). Food was excellent. The beetroot and burrata salad was particularly tasty and beautifully presented. Potted shrimp was also very tasty. It gets 4 rather than 5 because it is a little expensive. Worth it but still a bit pricey for a pub. We would definitely return if we were in the area as there were a lot of delectable sounding items on the menu.

What a find this place is! This is food about as good as it gets and the menu is ever changing…read morebased on what is locally available. The menu is simple and perfect, a choice of a 6 course or 8 course tasting menu; with a wine pairing option. They will happily alter to suite vegetarians etc. Everything we had, from a light broad bean and mint velouté soup, 20 minute sugar/salt cured fresh mackerel blow touched to crisp the skin, local beef and two deserts was outstanding. The staff were very professional, knowledgable and helpful. Decor is modern, clean and very attractive. There is absolutely nothing I can say negative about this place. Apparently others feel the same way, it is becoming extremely difficult to get a reservation. Interestingly the kitchen is open and a hive of activity. Steven Edwards (an award winning British chef) and his team clearly know what they are doing and are not afraid to experiment and surprise. For example; bread is a light, warmed brioche bun with a glossy Marmite glaze. Absolutely stunning, especially considering I do not like Marmite! My wife, daughter and me spent a very enjoyable 3 hours dinning at Etch and left very happy and pleasantly surprised. The 8 course tasting menu is not over indulgent, just right for anyone with a normal appetite. You may have noticed all my reviews to date on Yelp have been 5 star, this is deliberate. Life is too short to focus on that which does not make us happy. This is why I restrict my reviews to those things/places that make me happy and appreciate life. Sure, I have been to some really awful restaurants, but, like I said, life is too short to spend time thinking and writing about them

A result of foreigners who visited and stayed, either as traders or conquerors over the years, i.e. Dutch, Portuguese, English, Arabs, Indians, Malays and Moors. Since then man has not had to search far for his food, apart from the abundance of fish in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is blessed with luxurious supply of vegetables and fruits, which are used in many ways. The coconut palms, apart from providing oil and copra are the source of coconut milk, a vital ingredient in Sri Lankan cooking. Sri Lankans love food that explode with flavours and many enjoy rice & curry, deep fried dishes, tasty sweet and savoury snacks and mouth watering desserts. To bring out the true flavour of Sri Lankan curries, at Hamilton's we use home-made curry powders for burst of flavour and fresh aroma to awaken your taste buds. Freshness in the key factor and whatever you choose to eat at Hamilton's, our food will tantalise your taste buds making your dining experience a memorable one!

Don't bother looking elsewhere for amazing pub food if you're anywhere in the area…read more We've stayed here and we've eaten here and it has always been faultless, and the staff relaxed, attentive and professional. The normal menu and food are great but I've just polished off a roast beef Sunday lunch that rivals my mother's. Wash that down with a pint of Harvey's Sussex beer and it's worth a trip from NYC on its own. First class; not to be missed.

After a glass of prosecco, we had the twice-baked cheddar souffle with mustard dressing and mackerel pate (see photo) followed by pork fillet with baby veg and madeira jus and the slow-cooked shoulder of lamb (which takes 12 hours to prepare!). We had 2 large glasses of italian red with our meal and for dessert the apricot panna cotta an an Irish coffee mousse with ice-cream. The whole meal was totally delicious, very light and bursting with freshness and flavour. Including the drinks and coffee it came to £56 for 2. A new favourite.

Lets start with the good.

However, that's where all the good ends. it was a 3 hour 3 course meal, for no reason other than a good 30 minute wait between courses. Even 15-20 minutes passed between the main, palate cleanser and the dessert course. Service was slow, clumsy, inattentive and absent. We had the Guinea Fowl and the Crustacean (a soup) for starters. Now, I don't ever feel like I need to mention to a restaurant supposedly of this quality that I have a sensitivity to MSG because surely a restaurant of this standard would not have to stoop to using products that include it? Nope, wrong. Whilst waiting for the main course, I could start to feel that pressure and numbness on my cheek bones - a sure sign of MSG present. The Guinea Fowl was decently cooked, and the flavours boring. Unsure of why charred baby corn was present as it served as a distraction than a compliment. The Crustacean soup was overpowered by the broth. The Portland Crab with it's delicate flavour didn't stand a chance - and the abalone fungi added a texture but not flavour as one could only taste the broth and nothing else. Mains were equally, if not even more disappointing. The Pork neck was dry and overcooked. It was so dry you were forced to eat it with more sauce which made it even more cloying. The sauce was the perfect consistency but someone must have knocked over the vinegar into it as it was so sharp you found the dish rather trying to complete. The fish dish was really no better. For a Mexican British chef, you'd imagine he'd stick to his roots, but he's branching out into Asian flavours with both the Osmanthus and Chrysantemum broth and now a Yuzu sauce for the fish. The yuzu flavour way overpowered the Sea Bass (which unlike Cod, at least has some flavour), and took over the entire dish. The gentle flavours of the Cardoons and pickled mushrooms and onions didn't survive either. Lets not even get onto dessert. All in all, after £140 worth of a meal, it was less than worth it's salt. I'd rather have gone to an amazing Gastropub with simpler but better done food and done without this experience.
