    A lot of delicious food that we all savoured. The Rib eye steak was divine. Seasoned to perfection and the potatoes and veg were perfect as well. Our waiter was lovely.

    Superb food as always. I’ve never been to Host when there’s been an empty table. The menu has been the same/similar for the past few years that being said it’s always excellent. The cheesecake is to die for. Despite never being able to get a table at a usual time (7-9pm) we’ve embraced early dining. Looking forward to our next visit already.

    Host truly delivers with the highest quality of food and service. Staff are exceptional with knowledge of menu, wine pairings and just general service. Always so attentive and there if you need anything. Chefs sharing special has a great variety and each dish compliments each other. Tiramisu was out of this world good.
