A very pleasant dining experience in a small but very neat restaurant. Not quite a five because of a couple of small items: The staff were friendly but a little 'odd'. Hard to explain really but couldn't really warm to them. The food was very good but they forgot our side dish. Can't really put my finger on it and shall certainly try it again at some stage but just didn't feel at home.

The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside, but still feels intimate. Food was good - modern British with a bit of Mediterranean. Staff were good, and very accommodating- allowing us to shift our booking back 45 minutes! Although quite noisy, we had a good time, and would come again.

The kitchen was in good form. The food ('modern British') is always reliable here in my experience but dinner this time was a step up: perfectly cooked middle cut of pork with interesting and flavoursome autumn veg caught my attention, in particular. Generally, the dishes we had (three of us trying different things) were confidently put together, the cod main probably the least successful for us.

OK, so I love Magdalen, and I've been going there since it opened. But there's a reason for that and that is that is simply so consistently great. Our latest trip for my other half's birthday (she loves Magdalen) was as excellent as ever. This time we had the San Daniella ham salad with pear and toasted almonds. For my main, I had the baked cod, with Hispi cabbage – these guys always do greens so well – and she had the lamb and fried potatoes. This was followed by cheese for me and my other half had some delicious chocolate thing. Excellent coffee, service was very good and we had a fantastic time. Keep up the great work.

Having dined here a few times I had always been impressed by the standard of food and service. On this occasion our starters were mixed up and the grouse was served up raw on the underside. No real apology for the raw grouse other than sorry it wasn't to my expectations. I don't think raw grouse fits anyone's expectations. This may have just been a blip on a busy Friday night, as otherwise it was a very pleasant evening.

we were surprised by the find. Quite small, but the food was good. No messing around, except a bit too salty tonight! Would have been nice to have slightly less potatoes as we don't like waste. Will likely return in the future. We had the beef and rump steak. Could have done with a little more bread to start. More choice for dessert would have been good, but I guess if they change the menu frequently it might work

Really nice meal - not cheap but good value. We were very late for our booking but the waiters were very accommodating and didn't rush us at all, the food came really quickly and was fresh and tasty. There was an excellent selection of wine for £20-30 a bottle. We all had a great time and really enjoyed our food and the experience. Will definitely go back and would definitely recommend.
