An amazing night out last Saturday to celebrate my husbands forthcoming birthday.It was a first class night from the atmosphere, service and fabulous food. We are real foodies and this has to be the best restaurant we have eaten in so far.

We ate as a party of 6 on Saturday & all had the taster menu. This is the best food we have ever had! Everything was amazing. Fantastic waiting staff to top it off! Would definitely recommend for something very special. Well done!

Great place to eat, by the way. I hope Maverick enjoyed his

Very good staff and a comfortable atmosphere with a civilised amount of space between tables. Tasting menu was fair value and certainly showed they are putting effort and imagination into what they do. With tasting menus not everything rings your bell, but that’s what tasting menus are about. You can take a few risks. The execution and presentation is of a high standard. Can’t see even the fussiest and well traveled diner coming out of here and not feeling mildly impressed.

An absolute gem. The staff was amazing The service was impeccable and the food was simply incredible. If you're in the area you absolutely MUST dine here. My only regret is that I wasn't in the area long enough to frequent this restaurant repeatedly, lol.

Amazing food. Wonderful vegetarian options and really conscientious service; precise and meticulous, without being fussy. Had a fantastic evening and would absolutely come again. Their take on the Bakewell tart was a particularly good dessert touch!

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime for our anniversary. We’ve been to 3 Michelin starred restaurants in the last year, one with 2 stars and this was considerably better than any of them. (FYI I’m talking about Belcanto in Lisbon, The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds and Behind in London.)The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and the flavours worked so well together.Service was proactive and very friendly and genuine but not over the top.A relaxed, non pretentious place that we will definitely be returning to.Food was £188 for 2, including 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine, as well as tip.

This is our 3rd visit to this restaurant. The food did not disappoint .. my gluten free was also well catered for . Great wine too! Unfortunately our experience was tarred as the hostess was not so friendly to us or our guests. A shame as it has made us wonder if we would bother going back

The best food in Bakewell by a country mile. Excellent food and wonderful service. I was with my mum who has various dietary requirements which they managed brilliantly.

Fabulous little bistro/restaurant with a great crew. Very welcoming to the interesting restaurant space which is a converted historic building. Warm, enticing and comfortable great for couples or dinner with friends. Staff here are friendly, well informed and helpful. Efficient and available without being omni-present they got the balance just right. Very helpful and honest with wine suggestions.There is a choice between a la carte or a tasting menu. Both are great value, but you need to be hungry! The dishes are beautifully prepared with love of the ingredients and thought about the combinations of flavours. Lovely extras/ snacks- the bread is the best I think I have ever tasted. Amazing. A lovely place for a special occasion. We will definitely be back.

Visited on the 7th December for my wife's birthday. I can't remember the last time I had such a great dinning experience. Front of house staff were excellent, very attentive without being overbearing. Food was exceptional. I can certainly recommend it and will definitely be visiting again when next in Bakewell.Dietary restrictions: My wife is Gluten intolerant and she had plenty of options on the menu to choose from.

Absolutely splendid dining experience from start to finish. Taster menu was well worth every penny and more. Well done to all. My wife is allergic to cheese and they accommodated her without the bat of an eye. Will be back.....

Pre Christmas family lunch was such a celebration due to the quality of this establishment. Easy booking. Such lovely staff made everyone feel well looked after. From arrival and organisation of the high chair for the younger member at just over 2 the staff looked after all our requests seamlessly. The food was excellent, beautifully cooked, well presented and overall great value for money.
