I stumbled across this restaurant during a Google search and was enticed by the photographs of delicious looking food. It was so much more than just great looking photos though.... read more />
The Chefs clearly have vision and deliver perfectly executed dishes. I'm not a connoisseur by any stretch, but I do know how I feel when I read a menu that has some really interesting options. I'm so pleased Encore didn't just follow the usual restaurant format and decided to be a little brave with their offerings.
The taste test did not disappoint.

Stunningly presented dishes, we really felt that we had a 'fine dining experience' but with half the price tag and a much better ambience. I've attached the only photograph I took, this was my Father-In-Laws dessert, doesn't it look beautiful! It was equally as delicious.

In terms of the dining experience itself, the service is great and it is clearly a team who take pride in what they do.
The lady who showed us to our table talked through how we could order. Either stick with the usual starter, main and dessert or you can order tapas style, lots of small plates and share.

We opted for starter/main/dessert. There were four of us and so we had a good combination of foods and despite going for the traditional format we couldn't help but share it as it was such a taste sensation! Ranging from cauliflower fritters/squid/duck confit/burger/pork belly/seabass risotto/creme brulee/bannoffee/chocolate pot/meringue (photo attached of the meringue). The Chefs really are very talented, we couldn't fault any of it, it was all absolutely stunning and this restaurant truly deserves the 5/5 rating that it's got on TripAdvisor. I'll be adding our full marks to it too.

We will most definitely be visiting this little gem again.

  A very distinctive and interesting menu, great tasting food and very good service so different from the fare at other eating places. Deserves to succeed and should be a good... read more model for other restaurants to follow. The optional question asking if this is a hidden gem hits the spot exactly. It most certainly is.

  Nice venue , waitress was fab ( Amy ,i believe) .We were going to order the customary steak/cod dishes but under guidance, we opted for a selection of "small plates".... read more And we were so pleased that we did. The only let down, was after a fantastic selection of "small plate "dishes we were somewhat guttered that the deserts,although good they didn't match the fabulous mains.In the end, we had a delightful and filling evening .Will deffo return .
