    We decided to share a VCC Sharing platter and it felt like it was the right decision in order to get the best of everything. It was all freshly prepared and delicious, the only word of caution would be that the sliders are more on the juicy side, so plate and napkin advised! The playlist was also very enjoyable and the staff were incredibly kind, always cautioning us if a drink was going to be spicy or bitter. Overall it was a marvelous evening.

    We had a great experience at Host. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff are exceptionally welcoming. I could not fault a single thing about the experience. We had the chef's menu and each plate that came out was more amazing than the one that came before. The menu has clearly been carefully curated to showcase food in season at the moment, and the quality of the produce was evident and the value for money is second to none. We are already looking forward to our next dining experience at Host.
