Reviews in Wells

We always return here on our visits to Wells because the food is always excellent. What more cam we say?

A codicil to my review to emphasize that the food is excellent and that the 4/5 rating for the food was a complete accident and should have been 5/5.

Only our second visit of the year but we were greeted as old friends. Adam, Martine and Renaud went out of their way to make my partner's birthday (discreetly) special. Each course - mushroom soup, scallops, venison and Bailey's espresso ice cream - was a a triumph of presentation and flavours. Their advice of the right wine to match the food is always spot on.

Always a great experience at this restaurant - our best by far. The food ,drink and service are amazing and we look forward to eating here as a family tradition. It was lovely to see the Olive tree so busy- you deserve the popularity! Thank you all.

Excellent food with every detail to a very high standard and good-sized portions. The room was quite stuffy when we arrived.

Fabulous local restaurant with exceptional food, definitely going to return, perfect evening from start to finish, thank you Martine , Adam and team

Determined to make Goodfellows a regular haunt! Everything is always meticulous and simply detailed, food is exquisite and delicious. Love, care and pride shown in all they do!

We had a wonderful meal again yesterday The quality of food here never varies and I can honestly say there is no better for food atmosphere and value in Somerset to my knowledge

Last night's dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The restaurant not only surpassed our expectations but elevated our culinary journey. From the appetizers to the desserts, each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation. The attention to detail in every aspect of the meal, coupled with impeccable service, made it a truly memorable evening. The chef's creativity shone through in unique combinations that delighted our taste buds. A perfect choice for a special evening with a loved one. We look forward to savoring more culinary delights on future visits.

When we arrived last Saturday lunchtime we were told, with apologies, that, unfortunately, the head chef had called in sick so there was a reduced menu. Sorry for the chef, but good news for the sous chef who took his/her opportunity to step up to the mark and shine. Sometimes a reduced menu can be a blessing. Both myself and my wife had no trouble finding something that appealed both from the menu and the wine list. The result was a splendid lunch, all three courses an absolute delight. The service was excellent throughout, the meals cooked and presented beautifully plus an excellent bottle of wine to boot. Such a pity there were not more customers to enhance the atmosphere. We'd booked for 1330 and had been delayed a little by traffic so maybe the late lunch was a factor but, even so, the venue deserved better for a Saturday before Christmas. Perhaps next time - because we will be back.

Goodfellows is one of our very favourite restaurants - we come for a treat once or twice a year and look forward to it immensely. This visit was, if anything, better than ever. The ambiance in the new venue is very welcoming - warm without being 'gushy' and professional without being clinical. The food is always delicious and inspiring: the tasting menu, with brilliantly chosen accompanying wines, is perfectly balanced. We are already thinking of booking our next visit.

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Would definitely return for a special occasion meal.

Warm welcome, fabulous meal - a really smashing evening!

Good first impression, lovely room with good ambience but another heater near the window end might be a good idea Wrong menus on the table and then still wrong when replacements provided No steak on offer ( although it was admittedly lunchtime ) Service cheerful from lovely servers but skill level a bit below par Food was FANTASTIC Notwithstanding a couple of faults I would highly recommend

My daughter and I had an excellent meal in the Ivy Tree on Saturday 2nd December. I recommend it highly for the food, service and atmosphere.

Lovely meal. Value for money. Good drink selection and nice room. Would revisit

Amazing atmosphere, amazing staff and amazing food Highly recommended

Great little family run restaurant. Best celeriac soup ever! Great food and friendly staff. Book ahead as only a few tables. Quite expensive.
