We had a great experience at Host. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff are exceptionally welcoming. I could not fault a single thing about the experience. We had the chef's menu and each plate that came out was more amazing than the one that came before. The menu has clearly been carefully curated to showcase food in season at the moment, and the quality of the produce was evident and the value for money is second to none. We are already looking forward to our next dining experience at Host.
