Had a lovely evening at The Cornelian. Was our first time there and from the second we stepped in the service was impeccable. Max and Dylan were absolutely awesome all night. The cocktails were delicious, punchy with the alcohol as well as sweet and moreish. Very well made. Then the food... absolutely matched the experience of the evening. Incredible value for money on the valentines menu. I had the seafood platter and the lamb belly and rack. It was incredibly tasty. The chefs are masters. Fantastic food, drinks, service and evening. We'll be back very soon for sure.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner with my husband! The portion sizes were fantastic, and we were really happy with the value for money. I’ll definitely be booking again for Mother’s Day. Our waiter, Dylon, was so kind and gave his best service. Can’t wait for our next visit!

We ordered the smoked salmon with horseradish sauce and sourdough bread with pea shoots for a starter followed by a rack of lamb. Both dishes were absolutely divine. It was a great way to celebrate St Valentines day. The food and the service (Max was our waiter) were both superb. The red wine jus was the best we have ever had.

One of the best experiences I’ve had at a restaurant in terms of service and food quality. Dylan was looking after us and ensured we had a fantastic time. Cannot rate him or the restaurant highly enough.

Fairly recent restaurant that are seeking feedback to everything they are doing. Well spaced tables, comfortable chairs, good level of background music, efficient and charming staff, good wine list and food was excellent, the portions being over generous. Thoroughly recommended.
