Frommer's Review

This is one of the most sophisticated little restaurants in Bath. Head Chef Marc Salmon uses the best local produce, with an emphasis on freshness. The menu is changed to reflect the season, with game and fish being the specialties. You might begin with a tomato tart with goat-cheese fritters or a galatine of wood pigeon, duck, and rainbow chard set off with a spiced gooseberry chutney. You can then proceed to such good-tasting mains as roast rum of West Country lamb with sweetbreads or Aberdeen Angus rib-eye steak with a tarragon gnocchi, or perhaps roast loin of venison with beet in a port-wine sauce.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
