Hibiscus

Hibiscus, has anyone been?

Lucky enough to be going at the end if the month & curious anyone's experience?

[tontoro]

I was underwhelmed. Not 2* material, although I have only been the once

[Bullett]

Not been myself but every time the name comes up the general response is 'disapointed'


Sorry.

[Soir]

Oh bummer!

[tontoro]

Hopefully your experience is better, report back

Eaten there a few times and absolutely love it. Definitely worth the expense if the wine tasting menu when we have been. Great sommelier who graciously accepted my request to have no filthy new world / non French wines!

[gibbon]

I have been, a while ago now, I quite enjoyed it, though the atmosphere was a little sterile for my taste, though not really that suprising.

[Zod]

I thought the food was good. It wasn't stupidly expensive, but the atmosphere is a bit weird.

[Fatbloke]

there last year was very nice, certainly no issue with food or service

[Digger]

Brilliant. Their website is not iPad compatible.

Sounds like things have changed for the better since I was there last about three years ago.

Not wishing to dampen any excitement, I shall stay quiet but look forward to hearing about your experience!

4 of us went on Sat. We have all visited several Michelin starred places over the years and all agreed this was the best overall meal we have ever had.

Atmosphere was fine (not too quiet or formal) we wore suits but many diners in Jeans.

Had 8 courses (probably about 11 all in) struggled to eat after about 5/6 but ploughed through (it was that good)
I'd say 7 out of the 8 courses were simply outstanding & memorable.

None of us have been Fat Duck, Diner, Waterside, Hosp Rd, Ledbury, or Dorchester to compare

[Bullett]

Good to hear.
