We went for our work Christmas meal and it was fantastic. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was really relaxed.

We visited the Jews house for a birthday treat. Pleasently surprised by the welcome we were given. The hosts were very professional and they could not have done more to ensure that we experienced a wonderful time.We had the six course taster. Two being meat and two vegetarian. Two of us also tried the wine tasting. No one left disappointed. Great food, drink, atmosphere.The knowledge and friendliness of the staff was exceptional.Well worth a visit but be prepared for something different to the normal run of restaurants for which the cost reflects. Please don't be put off by the cost.

One of the best fine dining experiences of the last few years. Simply sublime, such beautifully presented food, with wonderful flavours and textures, each course getting better and better, with exceptional paired wines to match.We will be back! Thank you so much.

Excellent in all aspects. We enjoyed a very well prepared and delivered tasting menu with good wine and great service. One of the best I have had the pleasure of enjoying. The Service was outstanding. Congratulations to the whole team.

Made the 5 hour journey to Lincoln after repeated insistence from my wife that I had to experience this exceptional place. Gavin's creativity and pride in his cuisine results in an unforgettable experience and Samantha's knowledge and warmth combine to create a simply wonderful ambience. I thought Le Manoir was amazing on my 40th birthday but this place is definitely on a par.

Excellent six course tasting menu with equally excellent service. Worth every penny. A joyous and delicious meal.

Visited as a group of 6 and we all had an amazing night, the whole experience was lovely from the wine, food and service. In our group we had one vegetarian and one pescatatrian and there were no issues adapting the menu, they even incorporated a fish alternative on one course rather than just offering the pescatatrian the veggie option. We opted for the wine cflight and again they were accomodating, one done not liking red wine was provided a white wine but again, not lazily just replaced but adapted to a different course where it would suit. Each dish and wine choice was expertly and passionately explained, we had questioned the cost of wine pairing but actually, it was worth it! The food was good and beautifully presented. If I was to offer some constructive feedback, a couple of courses for my taste lacked a bit if seasoning (ravioli in particular) but overall enjoyed the variety and combinations. We were full! Could have done with something to freshen us up at course 5, the plate offered was tasty but too heavy by that point in the meal.

The food is the Best in Lincoln, service was nice, and atmosphere was ok but little bit loud.
Well, what a fantastic restaurant. It was well worth the physical effort to get there! The front of house staff were very friendly and helped us with our menu and wine choices, explaining the dishes with great enthusiasm. We very much enjoyed the 4 course menu. My favourite course was the silky smooth Jerusalem artichoke veloute with mushrooms and a very well cooked scallop. The slight smokiness was a lovely addition to the dish. It was so incredibly yummy. Although, both the prawn ravioli and sea bass dishes were an absolute delight too. The pistachio tart with dark chocolate sorbet was a very lovely end to the excellent meal. If we're ever in Lincoln again we will definitely return. Maybe the 6 course menu next time, but will have to skip lunch beforehand.

Visited as a table of 2 for my Wife’s birthday recently and both chose the 6 Course Tasting Menu, with 5 glass wine flight. The food from Gavin and the kitchen team, along with the service from Samantha and her front of house team was impeccable. Knowledge of their menus by all staff was exceptional. How this place has not provided Lincoln with its first Michelin Star is beyond me.

Both me and my friend have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and the Jews house eclipsed them in terms of:service, friendliness, atmosphere and the food. Samantha is very friendly and indulged all my questions about wine and was very informative about the food and clearly incredibly passionate. Excellent wine, beautiful food and incredibly friendly owner and staff! If you’re in Lincoln indulge yourself and go to the Jews house.

Absolutely sensational food, some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Samantha and Gavin do an excellent job of bringing dishes together, making the dining experience unforgettable in the best possible way. Service: Brilliant - Food: Truly exceptional.

Incredible jewel of food artistry. All six courses of the tasting menu were clever and elegant. We had the choice of four or six courses and were glad we did six. Thoughtful wine list and a good bar.
Extraordinary, beautiful, delicious, flawless.
