Chapter One Restaurant offers a posh dining experience with a focus on modern European food. The restaurant is known for its fresh, tasteful, and high-quality ingredients, ensuring that the à la carte menu remains top-notch. Diners can enjoy a variety of choices, catering to all food preferences. Highlights include the pan-fried south coast hake, which is cooked in a rich, creamy sauce, and the glazed vanilla crème brûlée, praised for its flavour. The complimentary breadbasket with homemade butter bread is noted as one of the best. However, some diners find the prices extortionate, with a three-course meal costing around £75. They note that main meals may be too small to satisfy, as they resemble starter portions. While the restaurant has a lovely and intimate atmosphere, it requires advance booking due to limited availability. The service is described as friendly and attentive, with diners enjoying the mojitos and dishes like tuna tacos and sea bream. Despite some mixed reviews on specific meals, the overall experience is regarded as wonderful, making it a suitable spot for special occasions.
