Nice tasting menu - really delicious food. A few dishes that were off or added nothing, in fact detracted from the rest of the great food (plate of boring chorizo and tasteless, dry potatoes).

Enjoyed the place , intimate , staff is friendly , plates are filling would recommend 2-3 plates , food was great I have the ragu pasta it was so well done the meat so soft! The wine choices are great we had a white one that closely resembles a Sauvignon bland (forgot it’s name but recommended by waiter) Definitely worth it !

As usual in Host, we had a warm welcome followed by an incredible meal that is always better than I remember. The most delicious pastas and steak, and those McNally leaves are 10/10. The staff are the best in hospitality, and we always look forward to going back.

We ordered from the al a carte menu. The starters were delicious mozzarella with white beets. And tuna tostada. We shared the piri piri chicken with two sides and then shared a dessert. The cheese cake is to die for. Staff are very friendly. We sat at the kitchen and enjoyed watching chefs busy at work.
