Had a beautiful meal yesterday in No 16. Food was delicious. All three of us chose something different from the 3 course lunch menu. Could not fault any of the dishes. Absolutely perfect cuisine. Our server, Gregor was so fantastic. Such a nice lad. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful surroundings. Definitely coming back!

Very good set menu with some interesting choices. The table near us was rather noisy so we sometimes found it hard to hear each other as its obviously a small restaurant. Service was excellent and food was tasty.

A delicious lunch from the a la carte menu on New Year's Eve - no set lunch menu available today. I've found it always to be good, not been disappointed on any visit. Varied menu, friendly attentive service, nice vibe.

First class experience - food excellent, staff attentive and, in our case, very entertaining too. Nice place, though the monkeys in the terrarium were quite weird.

Sampled the Christmas menu which didn’t disappoint - not your usual Turkey dinner, much tastier and good choices for all tastes. A warm welcome and great service added to the ambience of our evening. No.16 is consistently excellent which is why we will keep going back for more!

Three course set-Christmas menu, with various choices each course. Best Christmas dinner I’ve ever paid for, having eaten a zillion over the years, most of which were ghastly or mediocre at best. Entire dining experience a taster for future visits.

We were a party of 6 out for a Christmas meal. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The food was really lovely, beautifully cooked, lots of different flavours and textures and the portion sizes perfect. We all thought the choices for each course were difficult to make as all of the food on the menu sounded delicious! There is a lovely ambiance in the restaurant and the waiting staff were delightful. No.16 never fails to impress.

Food amazing. Sat upstairs. Very cosy and a bit tight for space. Waiter struggled to get past our table without bumping it. Table of 6 beside us which was quite loud at times sounding worse in the tight space.
