We had the surprise A La Carte menu, and more than once I told my partner, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten". Everything was exquisite, the service was perfect, and everyone was attentive and kind. It's a beautiful space, too! Highly recommend Glover's Alley for a wonderful fine dining experience.

We arrived early for our booking and had drinks in the stylish upstairs bar before being brought to our table in the buzzing main restaurant area. We had the Christmas set menu, which had interesting and original mouth-watering fish, meat and vegetarian choices, including venison (which we chose), and thankfully not a turkey or ham in sight. The staff were very welcoming, and the service was speedy, and professional. This is a bright, sophisticated, modern restaurant, with excellent food and a great atmosphere. A great choice for date night or dinner with a group of friends. Highly recommended.
