The Suffolk

Having heard lots of people mention The Suffolk, I wanted to see it for myself! I went for a weekday lunch with a friend and we were really impressed. The restaurant is large but openly split into 4 areas which gives it a cosy and relaxed feel. Each area is cleverly flooded with natural light which we loved. We were very warmly greeted, even though we hadn't made a reservation (so we just got lucky that there was space!). The service was attentively relaxed. Drew and his team were never far away and continuously keeping an eye on each table but without continuous interruptions. When they did come to the table, their manner was calm and casual yet highly professional. They all had extensive knowledge of the menu and seemed genuinely excited to chat about what we could expect from each dish. We struggled to narrow down the starters so in the end we ordered most of the starters and had a tapas style meal. Sadly, this meant that we had no room for deserts so that will be for next time! The stand out dish was the scallops on a cauliflower puree which were divine! I can't wait to get back to The Suffolk and hope to do so soon.
