    Great food, service and ambiance. I will return again. One of Chelmsfords best kept secretsread more

    There are so many amazing hidden gems in Essex, and Russell's Restaurant is one of them…read more The building dates back to 1372, and is a converted barn. Before it was a restaurant, it was a woodshed, where my grandfather would go to buy wood. The restaurant has kept some of the original features, like the beams and high vaulted ceiling, which gives it a very rustic feel. The food is mostly French inspired, but mostly locally sourced (something I always like to see!) For my starter, I had the seared king scallops, which were served with a pea and asparagus compote, black pudding and black truffle oil. Scallops are one of my favourite things, and if it's on a menu it's a pretty safe bet that I'll be ordering it. These, in my opinion, were perfect - which is very high praise, as scallops are really easy to get wrong. These were perfectly seared and crisp on the outside, but really juicy inside - not at all stringy (which is the worst!) and the combination of asparagus, black pudding and truffle oil was divine. My dinner date had the chicken liver parfait, a pate served on toasted brioche with a sultana and sauternes jus. This was followed by a main course of duck - a seared Gressingham duck breast served with duck rillette bon bons, roasted pommes de cocotte potato and sauteed pak choi with cumberland jus. The duck was beautifully cooked, and the meat was meltingly tender. For my main course, I went for the Tournedos Rossini, served medium rare. The aged fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef was served on top of a potato and parsnip rosti, and was topped with seared foie gras, baby spinach, truffle oil and a wild mushroom jus. Basically, it was a whole list of my favourite ingredients on top of one another, and it was delicious. The flavours were delectable, and the whole dish was presented impeccably. After dinner I went for a coffee followed by a coconut and Malibu pannacotta topped with toasted coconut and sweet candied pineapple. The standard of the food and service is really impressive - and the venue has a lot of character, and for the quality of the meal, the price is really quite reasonable.

    I recently spent three weeks in France and was disappointed in the food we encountered there. ON my…read morereturn to England to make up for our experience we visited the Great House and also Mariners as Il Punto is now known. Why I want to know can the French do it here but no longer in there own country? Mariners / Il Punto is simply fantastic, great French food served in perfect size portions with a great wine list, brilliant service. I cannot fault this place. I will always return!

    Wow. This is the second time I've eaten on the boat, and it has been just as fantastic on both…read moreoccasions. For some reason, I've managed to not eat here until the last six months or so, put off I think by its apparent "poshness" - I was so wrong, it's not "posh", just very well done in a typical French style. The boat is immaculate, the staff smart and just the right side of formal. This time me and Lucy came out for a little treat as we haven't eaten out in a while. The service was outstanding, with the staff always being on hand but never too attentive and fussy. Kir for aperitifs, with a lovely Chablis (they have an excellent selection by the half bottle) with starters, and a truly fabulous Morgon with the mains. All the food was perfectly presented and delicious, rounded off with simply the best cheesecake I've ever eaten and amaretto coffees. All in all, it was brilliant. Definitely not the cheapest place, but as everything was so good, I consider it excellent VFM. Highly recommended, I'll see you there soon!
