Reviews in Bath

First time visiting Menu at Gordon Jones. We were met with a lovely personal welcome, which felt inviting. This service continued throughout. The table water with a hint of flavour was a lovely touch. The food was an explosion of flavours, and well balanced. Every dish was explained well. All staff came across as passionate about the food as did the chef. Very personable. I cannot fault the food. Each course was outstanding. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

GJ retains title as King of fine dining every time we eat here. Puts other restaurants to shame.

We had a delicious lunch on Valentines’s day.

We had lunch at MGJ on 30th January 2025. Over two weeks later we still feel compelled to write a review. The overall experience was amazing. The food was exquisite but as the menu constantly changes there is no real benefit to describing what we had to eat. We went with the wine pairing option and each combination was fantastic, the highlight being the Forty Hall sparkling wine from a vineyard outside London. Food and drink aside, it was everything else that truly elevated the experience. The space is intimate, cosy and has lovely quirky touches. But it is the service levels that truly sets this restaurant apart. You feel like you are sitting in your granny's kitchen and she is preparing something for you to eat not that my granny ever prepared food that tasted anything close to what Gordon Jones comes up with. And Amelie has an amazing ability to find the drink that pairs so elegantly with such food perfection. We are already planning our next visit to MGJ. It's reassuring to read the reviews from people who have returned and have found the experience to be on par with their previous visit. The quote says that the best memories are made when you eat at someone's house and I would highly recommend you call around and have a meal with Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

I WOULD WALK 500 MILES .... to experience another meal at Menu Gordon Jones. From the warm welcome to the personal farewell, you will feel like a special guest. The food is equally bespoke. What you read on the menu is not what you get. "Bread and soup" turns out to be a mouth-watering combination of Scottish flavours. "Steak and chips" similarly heralds unexpected delights. Interesting tastes and textures characterise the courses you will follow. Staff are friendly, knowledgable and (rightly) proud of the enjoyment they bring you. No detail is neglected. The table, cutlery and ceramics are all talking points for the curious. One word of caution. Take companionship not mobile phones to this outstanding restaurant -you'll miss out on too much. And your discourtesy will NOT go unnoticed !

5 star!

There is literally no where better to eat in the region. The quality of food, service and the entire experience is phenomenal. If you really want to treat someone to something mind blowingly special this is the place. This is a Bath secret - the place for birthdays, anniversaries or big celebrations. Be sure to book well in advance though! They are rightly very popular

This was our first visit to Menu Gordon Jones, having been meaning to try it for years! We had a lovely evening which felt very special. The 7 course surprise tasting menu was absolutely delicious although the cheese course was everso slightly disappointing ( we love cheese!) The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. Highly recommend for a special treat!

This was my second lunch visit to Menu Gordon Jones and a great way to celebrate my wifes PhD graduation. Yet again it was superb in every way. Every course was so delicious and perfectly presented that it was both a lovely surprise to receive them, as it was shame every time you finished them. The atmosphere was wonderfully laid back and in no way pretentious, while the music provided plenty of late teens nostalgia. The hosting was warm and familiar, but in no way overbearing, with win offered at welcome intervals and water provided (no upsell to get still or sparkling bottles) and presented in a unique way. It was little touches like that and the all-round quality of the food that means we have to come back in the spring, when I am sure they will be showcasing the best the season has to offer.

This isn’t just going out for lunch or supper, it’s an experience! The food is beautifully prepared and presented and tastes exquisite. The subtle mix of textures and flavours makes you excited to get to the next course while also feeling a bit sad that the meal will have to come to an end! Gordon came to explain each course to us and you get a menu at the end of the meal. This means that each course comes as a surprise. Each surprise was so well worth it. The atmosphere is relaxed and so well managed and enhanced by Amelia who is so welcoming and knowledgeable about wines to accompany the food. To eat food made to this exceptional standard makes Chef Gordon Jones value for money.

Visited yesterday lunchtime as a birthday treat, having had a personal recommendation. We loved everything about the experience. Each course was exquisite but also the beautiful and quirky touches as to how everything was presented, being able to chat with Gordon as he worked, the warm friendly welcome, the music, etc etc.. One of the best dining experiences we can remember, and we've had a few being married for 46 years. Seems crazy to give 5/5 for value for money when it would clearly be out of reach for very many, but what a treat if you can manage it. We'll be back.

Great meal! Every course a winner. Service excellent. Really fun evening.

Everyone should eat here. Every dish was served with love thought and attention. The staff were superb in their descriptions of the dishes and to enjoy this food in such an intimate setting was a delight. Nothing could be improved. It was one of the most enjoyable food experiences we've ever had and I just want to thank Gordon and the team for delivering in such an exceptional way.

As always an exceptional experience with exceptional food. We had a celebratory lunch and each time we come to this restaurant, Gorden always brings something more to the party! Everything we ate was cleverly thought out, constructed and cooked to perfection. The attention to all the details including the wine flight ensures a truly memorable occasion

I went to GJ's last night with the girls for our Christmas treat. It was a perfect evening. Amazing service - really amazing service actually - and the food was so good and really interesting - absolutely delicious!! Each course was explained to us - the cocktails were great too. Have been before and it was equally as good the first time. Plus we were dorky and asked Gordon to sign the menu for us - which he was so happy to do. We had a great night thank you and we will be back.

A warm welcome at the door to a cosy restaurant. The surprise tasting menu and wine pairing were exceptional. It was a relaxed lunch and Chef was refreshingly down to earth. He is very lucky with such a good team on board. Looking forward to going back.

What a fantastic meal! Gordon and the team created an extraordinary menu of delicious dishes, each one carefully crafted to celebrate the ingredients. Exceptional flavours, succulent and beautifully presented, all served in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A really great lunch with friends, we're looking forward to coming again!
