High Timber is always a fantastic exprience - the food is great and the service always outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the creamed spinach this time round - top notch - a nice complement to my Bavette. The service was superb - we had less than an hour for our meal due to unforseen cirumstances - and the staff ensured that our food arrived delicious and swiftly, allowing my friend and I to catch up without stressfully clock-watching. We plan to go back soon and enjoy a similarly delicious meal with a glass of red wine!!
