Run by chef-patron Michael Macdonald for the last seven years, Michael has worked with some great names like Nico, Koffman and Chavot. The restaurant is housed in T S Eliots home which has been tastefully converted into a sophisticated, spacious and atmospheric dining room on the ground floor with private dining upstairs. The lunch menu changes weekly whilst the evening a la carte and menu gourmand change every two months, keeping seasonality at the core of his offering. Expect to pay around £15 for a 2 course lunch and £40 for a 3 course dinner, the Menu Gourmand comes in at £50 for 7 courses and he also offers a vegetarian a la carte and Gourmand menu.
Just back from our latest visit so this is after a few glasses of excellent wine. One of very many lunches and dinners over the last 20 years. To me (and my wife / everyone we ave taken there over the years) it's simply unbeatable and way better than all of the often considerably more expensive options. It would be wrong of me not to point out the absolute consistency and in particular the food. No point in details as it's all better than fantastic but my real reason for this review is that I haven't eaten meat for over 50 years so having a foodie treat is very special. If you a veggie, vegan or have any other special requirements, the options for an incredible meal are exceptional. If you fancy a treat then give it a try.

Excellent meal, could not fault anything at all. Cannot think why we had not returned before now.

Lovely restaurant in the beautiful town of Marlow. Spoilt for choice in these parts! Would recommend.
