    We were a little disappointed. Maybe they were understaffed, but service was patchy with inexplicably long delays between some courses. We weren't offered a drink, other than water, until we'd been at the table for more than half an hour. Our friends had to search through several coat racks to find their jackets, without assistance, as we were trying to leave - they had been moved to the rack at the counter. Some of the dishes were also a little disappointing - the seabream, for example, was completely overwhelmed by the horseradish. It was all we could taste. While the wine pairings were very good and complemented each course, we would have preferred more of a balance between red and white wine - there was just one red on the pairing menu. The 'surprise menu' concept was also oversold as what we received was exactly what's on the website and in the restaurant window so not such a surprise...for us, the overall experience didn't match the hefty price tag.

    The food was spectacular. Every dish pops with flavour and you can taste every ingredient. The mushroom custard stood out as truly spectacular. We chose the wine pairings also and these were gentle but occasionally surprising companions - exactly what you would wish for.

    Bastible was absolutely delicious as always. Fantastic service. Gorgeous atmosphere.I don’t eat fish so when you’re having a nine course meal usually it becomes very repetitive when there’s no fish included. But however, they do it each course is a delicious surprise.
