Yard - Hackney

Lovely experience, oysters were absolutely delicious, would love to come back!

We were in London for a short trip. This restaurant was recommended to us by friends. The tip absolutely paid off. The food is very good and we were served lovingly and courteously throughout our stay in the restaurant. Thank you very much.

The restaurant had a charming ambiance and the service was excellent. We loved the majority of the dishes on the tasting menu, but we felt that the desserts threw off the balance of the meal. Despite the delicious pre-dessert of pine sorbet, we were overwhelmed by the abundance of chocolate desserts that followed, which made the end of the meal too heavy on chocolate and distracted from the other flavors we had enjoyed earlier. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful evening and look forward to returning to sample more of the chef's unique creations.

Excellent creatively prepared and presented dishes. We went with the prix fixe dinner and got to watch the chef prepare our first course in the wood stove kitchen.

The food was absolutely exquisite, the setting was beautiful and the staff were fantastic. My only constructive feedback is that having paid £300 per head for the 6 course tasting menu, all six of us left hungry. The portions are miniscule. The starters and mains should be doubled in size.
