Core by Clare Smyth restaurant reviews






Average rating: 4.7
Overall experience was reminiscent of the chef’s previous restaurant, Gordon Ramsay. It was good but over-hyped and certainly not on a 3 star level.
The sauces were unbelievable however. Beyond that, the food and pairings were good but not incredible.
Still, both the service and atmosphere were lovely.
