Felix Warley Ltd

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Essex! The food is amazing, the venue is beautiful, and the service is fantastic! Need I say more? 😀

I came here for a solo date night. The restaurant is huge, and has an upstairs bar, which was unfortunately closed. The service was great. The staff were polite, attentive and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the Lychee martini and berry pavlova. There wasn't much of an atmosphere in terms of music or entertainment, but I guess I was especially aware of this as I was alone. There were plenty of couples dining, it is a lovely restaurant romantic dinner and groups would have no problem having a chit chat without loud music. I'd go again and take a friend next time.

My husband and I had dinner at Felix to celebrate our wedding anniversary. First impressions were good, a stunning restaurant both inside and out. Although it was not very busy, we were seated quite close to another table of 2. We did notice the birdcage booths but weren’t offered to sit there, although throughout the evening couples were seated in them so wish we had have been offered this as it would have been much more comfortable. For starters I had the prawn cocktail and my husband had the duck pancakes, and for main I had the Parmesan crusted cod (delicious!!) and my husband had pork belly. We also ordered side dishes of potatoes and broccoli. We had room for pudding so shared a sticky toffee pudding. Overall we did enjoy the experience and found the portions to be bigger than you would expect, but the food didn’t wow us like we were hoping for and that we have had in similar local restaurants previously. A lovely evening but wouldn’t necessarily rush back.

Had a great time with family - the Sunday roast is fab and the wine selection is lovely! Would definitely try the sticky toffee pudding as it’s a highlight!

Lovely restaurant with a warm cosy atmosphere. Food was very, very good! Staff were attentive and friendly. It's quite pricey but the venue and the quality of food reflects that and we didn't think it was overpriced. We had a number of fish and meat dishes which were all excellent and very tasty. Wait time for food is as expected - it's not fast food but nor did it take an age to arrive. Our only complaint was that we felt that the staff were all quite young - their service was not polished and didn't quite match the high class that the venue is trying to achieve. It's not enough to stop us going back though as overall the experience was excellent. It's definitely fine dining and we would definitely recommend a visit. We will be back.

Went there on my birthday to have a nice meal as heard good reviews about this place. Didn't order starters, just main. We were given olives, bread, and butter regardless which was nice. I had a strawberry daiquiri which was just pure alcohol. We both ordered a steak - was supposed to be medium but arrived well done. Had mash on the side. Only had a few spoons and felt full so asked the waitress to bag everything up for us. When they brought the bag back, the whole portion of mash was gone? They only left a spoonful worth of it. We questioned it. The waitress said "oh I bagged up what you gave me". Wrong. The correct answer should be "sorry, we will get you another portion as we must have chucked what you had on the plate". I also had a side salad. If you plan on ordering it, don't bother. It was just some chopped up cabbage, 2 cocktail tomatoes, and some slices of onion. I wasn't impressed with the food. Spent £190 on 2 mains, 2 sides, salad, daiquiri and a glass of wine. Actually 1 side as my mash disappeared!

Lovely restaurant. I had the lobster with garlic butter with mash and broccoli, and pavlova for dessert. Would defo return it was lovely and the staff were knowledgeable on allergens x

Beautiful venue and great service. We expected it to be expensive but we still spent more than we expected. £75 a head with just one drink each and only one starter between us. No desserts no coffees. 2 had the skate and loved it and the others had fillet steak. It was a really good quality and well sized cut of meat, but we both said it was over (one medium and one medium well but they looked the same inside and were a little bit hard / overcooked on the outside). We had a lovely time but I wouldn’t say it was value for money.
