    The food was excellent as usual, although some of my guests found the blue cheese a bit overpowering. The Wagyu was some of the best I have eaten. I felt that the service could be improved. The table was not swept after the bread course; napkins were sometimes refolded during comfort breaks; the gap between courses was just a bit too long (3 1/2 hours for tasting menu); the bill when made up did not include the food; one of the waiting staff did not seem confident in describing the food. Generally a very pleasant evening, but some rough edges need working on.

    Cheals provides an outstanding experience of high quality service and a taste experience which is more than great food but also a visual delight. The experience represents good value for money given the quality of the product.
