My husband and I went recently and we were impressed. Great value for some clever food. Some dishes didn't quite work for us, others we were really impressed by. We didn't do the tasting menu (surprisingly for us, as we usually do) and instead opted for lots of plates to share as there were some things on the main menu I really wanted to try.
I loved the whole move to fermented type foods - not overly so, but evident in places. Even the bread and butter was very cool, and delicious!
Best was the dessert bar - you can move to the kitchen area and sit there foir dessert, which means you get to see your dessert prepared (the Chef was lovely, chatty, and previously at Fera at Claridges!). Think an episode of Masterchef, in front of your eyes. I loved it. Clever too, as they get to use your table for the next groups coming in - fine by us.
Great local addition, reasonably priced for what it is. I was slightly confused as to why all staff kept urging us to go to The Dairy too, that was perhaps a little overkill - one mention would have been enough!
