For a restaurant that has only been open for a few weeks, High delivers a standard of cooking and service comparable to Gordon Ramsay's long-established Royal Hospital Road outpost. We particularly liked the personalised written summary of the food and wine we had enjoyed and the rapport created with our fellow diners and the High team. Definitely a restaurant at the top of its game straight out of the box!

The scallops and chicken dishes were excellent. The staff were friendly, and we had a great time recharging after a long day of walking with our puppy. We were also offered the chance to try a WIP ice cream, which was incredibly delicious. 🍨
