Restaurants near Down House

We haven't been to this restaurant in a while because we didn't find it very welcoming as a family in previous years, however last night we tried it again and really enjoyed our evening. We received a warm welcome and very friendly service. The ambience, live singer and food made for a really enjoyable couple of hours!

Fabulous evening at Indian Essence. Food was outstanding as always.

Amazing food. I had the Veloute of Jerusalem artichoke with a poach hen's egg and I was in heaven, mellow artichoke taste, not too over powering and the mix with the egg was perfect. The main coarse was the fillet steak and is the best fillet steak I have ever eaten. I guess the only gripe is that on some of the main coarses you will have to order extra sides so the cost increases. I had French beans with my steak and they were lovely but the potatoes were dry and some of the food was not piping hot, it came out to us warm but I would still highly recommend it to everyone. Oh yes, the service from everyone was absolutely first class and there is only a 7.5% service charge whereas other places I have been to charge 12 or 12.5%.

Look no further is what I always think when I visi you. Dining perfection thank you.

Warm welcome, delicious food served in a beautiful setting. Good range of choices for all dietary requirements. No rush to leave the table so plenty of time to chat. Cheeky little complementary limoncello served with the bill too! Would highly recommend a visit.
