Genuinely one of the best tasting menus we've had, even at higher Michelin stars. Cannot recommend this place enough.
We had the longer Source menu. Rather than being fixed, you get to select one or two of the dishes are key moments. As a vegetarian the main dish had only one option. Whilst I prefer to have a fixed set of dishes, forcing me to eat foods I may not naturally choose, I did appreciate the flexibility.
The balance of flavours, across the dishes and within each, was excellent. There were some where I anticipated a fairly uniform experience but was very pleasantly surprised at the range and depth. A broad bean hummus, that could have been dry and flat, was a stand out surprise. Closely followed by the broccoli with a surprising range of flavours.
I feel like I need to repeat this: both the vegetarian and pescatarian menus were almost flawless. I was genuinely surprised that there wasn't a dish I could complain about! Normally I expect one of the savory courses to be off, or a dessert to be out of place. But not here.
The staff were excellent. As my wife is deaf we had asked for them to face her when explaining the dishes. It's not an easy thing to maintain eye contact with someone for extended periods of time but they did it from start to finish. Nowhere else has done that for her. They also provided a detailed print out of all courses.
I don't know if SOURCE will get a second star. But it definitely deserves high praise.
