I attended the Live DJ event on Friday. Food was fantastic. The Chef's cooking was a divine experience. The library is a cozy place with great ambience. Welcoming crew. Fair pricing. Although, more experienced staff members at the bar /mixing drinks would make a big change. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself . Will visit again!!

I’m not on for reviews, but we went here for my my other half’s birthday because a few friends mentioned it was new and food looked nice. Unfortunately our experience was Awful. We waited 20 minutes for a drink and 50 minutes to get asked what we wanted to eat(after being asked twice if we were eating) Nothing special about this place, we ended up leaving and going Siennas in Shenfield. 1000x different experience and more reasonable. They apologised and gave us the drink we Drank, on the house but it’s not worth the money, dirty front windows, no ambiance (candle /music / nice lighting), the chairs were uncomfortable and didn’t feel luxury at all, the menu had spelling errors, at first glance we weren’t sure if it was even the full menu as had about 3 meat and 3 fish options but had “sharing platters” written at the top. Asked if I could have a drinks menu , they went back twice and then I ended up saying I’ll just have a lemonade as no one could make the cocktails and they still didn’t give me a wine list. Appreciate its new and clearly needs to sit and try other venues of the price range but there were 3 standing around the bar . They said they only had 2 staff but with only 3 table to cater, I can’t see why 2 staff isn’t enough. After getting a taxi there from Brentwood, and then getting one back to Shenfield I was hugely disappointed. Hopefully they see & use this feedback and make their experience a lot better.

At last someone has made a success of the venue on the corner! Our first time last night for drinks and food and very happy with our evening. First Impressions are they have done a great job on the refurbished decor- it’s cool and on point. Service was friendly and we had a nice chat to the barman. Our waiter was new and shy but friendly and helpful and I’m sure he will grow with some confidence and training. The food was really good ( we are foodies) an easy going menu with sharing plates steak and fish- we went sharing plates and they were very good - better than I expected- the table next to us had sea bass and it looked great . We will definitely go back again . Food in ingatestone is very hit and miss - this seems to be a hit! I hope it continues.
