The Elderflower Lymington

This was wonderful. There is no doubt I was satisfied. Food was great , service great, good experience all round. However, and I am bringing out the inner critic in me here, there are some bits worth mentioning. This was a lot of money; £150pp. So, for that, you expect a lot. The food was undoubtedly very nice and well considered. The flavours were wonderful. The presentation interesting (albeit a little style over substance at some points why butter is served on a stone I don’t know). We had the five courses with wine. And I couldn’t fault the flavour of either. So now comes to the ‘but’: 1. For that price, it would have been nice for the chef to have shown their face at some point during the proceedings. 2. The pace between course was slightly faster than I would have liked but that is a personal preference. 3. Not enough butter for the bread. 4. It is a small and close environment, with no soft furnishings, so the sound echoed a little. That would be fine (as it was small) but we had a drunk and rowdy table near by and fun as that is it was loud for us. 5. I wanted more story; where did the food come from, who was the chef, why here and now. Notwithstanding that all picky and un necessary excellent food/ excellent experience/ excellent evening.

A deserving three Rosetta restaurant. Very good quality seafood that serves w innovative sauces to complement. The tomato desert dish is very interesting, but seem more like a palate cleanser to me. It is the best restaurant in Lymington. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Great food, excellent service. I'm not convinced tomato ice cream is a good idea! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
