Newly reopened with untrained and inexperienced bar staff. Service at the bar is remarkably slow with huge queues building up even when the place is empty, it will not cope on a sunny... More »
It has turned into a trendy wine bar but I really don't think Cambridge needed another one of those and certainly not in this location - next to the river where it's nice... More »

We ate at MC on a Saturday in July. Stylish modern setting, with friendly staff (mainly French) who warmed up as the evening progressed, describing where ingredients were sourced, and Daniel Clifford's efforts... More »
Hugely pretentious and over-compilcated food. Each dish awash with either cream or foie gras (often both) making them so rich they are verging on the inedible. We ate from the dinner menu, and judging... More »

Had dinner again last week, restaurant was full, great ambiance and the tasting menu was a fantastic experience. Unlike some previous reviews, found the staff helpful, friendly and relaxed. The manager made us... More »

We had the tasting menu for my son's 21st birthday in August and the food was excellent, superb and any other adjectives that say this is worth £75. Obviously we would not... More »
In my experience this restaurant keeps moving forwards, in comfort & design, welcome and passionate knowledge from staff, and most importantly, quietly creative food & wine that shows an independent bent. Taking credit cards... More »
I went there with my wife to enjoy a nice evening while the kids were babysitted. The location is pleasant although the parking is not easy to find. The decoration is nice, although... More »

To answer one of your other reviewers I think the 'fuss' about credit cards is justified. When a restaurant or business undercharges by mistake they don't usually claim the money back later... More »
Each time we go it is a triumph of hope over experience. My roast lamb looked like mechanically reclaimed pulp and the roast potatoes had seen better days. I don't know how, but the french... More »
The Fort St George is a pleasant pub overlooking the river Cam. Outside, it has a very large beer garden with beautiful views over the river. Inside, it is quite a large pub... More »
Perhaps it's just me then, but I seem to have stumbled upon another pub with an 'un-smiling' barmaid. Just my luck, eh! The barmen are fine though!... More »
What all this fuss about credit card in the reviews here: many other restaurants do the same!! Certainly the best restaurant in Cambridge. Not overpriced compared to restaurants of the same category. Very good... More »
The food is good, if not spectacular - almost tries too hard to be 'different'. Main comment is that the service is far too intrusive. I went to lunch with a friend I had... More »
