We had a lovely dining experience at The House. The food was really tasty and well presented, service was good and nice ambience. Only minor feedback was the Rabbit starter needed a bit of salt. Everything else was 10/10 - compliments to the Chef(s). Will definitely be back again.

What a find. The best.

A hidden gem in braintree. We've lived here nearly 4 years and never visited. We stumbled across it tonight and were so impressed. The food could not be better, its locally sourced (including the alcohol) and they even have a vegan menu. The place is lovely, I could not recommend it enough.

Came here tonight for a belated birthday meal. We had a slight mishap on our last visit. However tonight, everything was perfect. Harry and his team went above and beyond. The food was amazing. My compliments to the Chef. Have dined in this restaurant many times. It just gets better.Parking: You can park in Tescos car park. The House validate it before you leave.

Good food, nice atmosphere, very good staff. For the price, I had hoped for better. For the starters, I had the special brown shrimp linguine that was a bit too salty that overpowered the other flavours for me. The Chilli King prawn starter my wife had was very tasty. Main courses,I had the fillet of beef which was good, a bit on the medium side for a medium rare request, a thick piece of meat, crispy kale was interesting. The side of house chips with parmesan cheese was delicous. We would definitely come again, to try the chateau briand, it looked amazing, plus the parfait looked a better choice for starter.

A delightful, totally unplanned find. And what a wonderful restaurant it is. The service was excellent the moment we walked in. The wine availability with Gavi just perfect and the starters of prawns and mains of fish and steak so tasty. The fried kale was a surprise and certainly should be tasted as it transforms this vegetable into a truly mouthwatering surprise. Would certainly recommend this venue if you appreciate good food and wine. We will certainly be back.

Quality as ever, don't need a menu chateaubriand all the way ??

We had our Valentines meal here. The food is just amazing. Never will I understand how someone can make kale taste so incredible. And their steaks are unbeatable. Every time gets better and better.
The most incredible food, and a great atmosphere! Harry and Samantha were super welcoming and accommodating. Would 100% recommend trying this place out.

My husband booked for my birthday & I was pleasantly surprised. Harry gave exceptional, personable service & the food was outstanding. The chef greeted us when we left to see how everything was, which was a really nice touch. Will definitely be returning! Thank you for making my birthday a special one.

The House by Hilly Gant was lovely, very cosy, lots of different eating spaces crammed into a small house. Food was immaculate, our friends had chateaubriand which looked very very good. Overall, the cooking and ingredients were faultless.

Cosy, amazing food, high quality service. The only disappointment is it has taken this long for us to find it. The best restaurant we have found in Essex!
