We went for menu tasting, it was excellent. They do a set 2 course menu for £15 ....bargain. eill definitely be going again.

The dishes we ordered were good. The sharing steak was cooked to perfection, but the meat wasn’t the tastiest. We still enjoyed it however. The truffle and Parmesan chips were out of this world. We both thoroughly enjoyed those.Service was attentive and personable, the waitress was friendly in her interactions. We did overhear them saying there are usually more staff on a busy Friday night, but we found the service good enough with just the two of them.Atmosphere wise, without other diners in the room (we sat downstairs), there isn’t much of a vibe. I’d recommend requesting sitting downstairs (it’s very small) as you get somewhat of an ambience from the sounds and delights of the kitchen. It’s our first visit here and we weren’t expecting to literally be sat in what felt like a living room of a house. For the price (3 courses + wine was around £180 with service charge for 2 people), we were expecting something a bit more upscale inside.Nevertheless, we’d return at some point, but I don’t think it will be our go to restaurant for a nice meal.

This was our first visit to Burnt Truffle and we were not disappointed. We were warmly greeted by the new manageress who then served us with charm and efficiency. One of us had the special 3 courses for £20 menu which is available at lunchtime and early evening some nights. There was a choice of 2 per each course which represented excellent value for money. We chose olive and tomato arancini, rigatoni ragu and lemon panna cotta and they were all superb. Not huge portions but perfect for lunchtime! From the a la carte menu we started with fish soup with charred sourdough which was French style and delicious, followed by a beautiful confit duck with great accompaniments and finished with their large creme brulee which is mentioned in these reviews. These 3 courses cost £40 so not "cheap" but for this standard of cooking it's still great value. Highly recommended!

From start to finish, our visit was fantastic. Greeted warmly, shown to our table promptly with menus, food brought over at the perfect time at the right temperature, everything we tasted was exquisite. All 4 of us enjoyed our visit, having the turkey with accompaniments, plaice, and Christmas pudding (loaded with delicious fruits and brandy!). Pretty good wine list too. I could eat the entire meal again.

Food beautifully done, chefs at ease with what they do. Staff went above and beyond when my table requested an "off menu cocktail" white Russians, very friendly waitress said give me a minute ill check if we have the ingredients, caught them sneaking back from shop with everything needed for white Russian. Would recommend every time. Beautiful.

I just had my 21st here and cannot praise it enough. A wonderful cosy atmosphere with brilliant food, brilliant conversation and an excellent chef and server. Cannot think of anything better!
Delicious meal and good value bistro menu meal deal (2/3 courses). Superb quality food, relaxed atmosphere, super-friendly service. Excellent Malbec ?

This was our second occasion at the Burn Truffle. As the first time the food was excellent and the staff awesome. we had a late seating but never felt rushed even when we were amongst the last to leave. I would like to say a big thank you to the team here and next time we are in Heswall we will be in your place again.

Perfect birthday meal for my mother in law, super food and offer 2 course or 3 course options. Tracy served us and went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic, perfectly served and tasted delicious. My favourite as always - the HUGE creme brûlée. Will be back to celebrate more family occasions.

Absolutely amazing Sunday! I’m coeliac so naturally quite cautious coming out for food. Our waitress Kate was so accommodating and delightful letting me know about the allergens and being very reassuring, totally lush - the kitchen made me truffle fries (which were amazing) despite not being on the menu for Sunday, the man who I assume was the manager was very charismatic and attentive too. Overall fabulous experience really recommend and am looking forward to returning!

If you haven't tried this restaurant your missing out. Heswall is full of places to eat but this is far the best within Heswall for food and service. Each dish is paired with wine to compliment your food. Very knowledgeable manager on his recommendations of wine and food. Will definitely be returning very soon. The Bistro lunch deal is extremely good value for money. £15 for two courses.
