"Exquisite! Exceptional! You will leave with your belly six courses heavier (and your purse sixty five quid lighter but you will be content with both counts. Every course is well thought out and pulled together into a blend that seems more set for an artist 's palette than the plate because surely it can 't taste as good as it looks? But tasty it is, and by the end of the evening, you will agree that six was just about the magic number of courses (unless you fancy adding the cheese we did in which case seven is heaven... It 's not cheap, but you certainly don 't feel swindled, as every ingredient is unequivocally fresh. We suggest that LDV must have a hidden garden behind the restaurant that is fully stocked with ripe fennel, pumpkins, porcini mushrooms, microherbs, macroherbs, and megaherbs (the final two may be made up . Service is friendly, familial, and altogether Italian. Delicious food with lovely hosting, and the vegetarian option is a beast of its own that is worth coming back for there 's no 'just take away the meat ' here it is clearly a carefully considered menu, and many of the veggie dishes compete with (or beat! the meaty versions. Prices on the wine list are also surprisingly reasonable. Recommended! And recommended again!"

"The restaurant offered delicious, fresh food with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It was nutritious and enjoyable to eat, with lots of taste without being overwhelming. I ordered the bento box, which was great value, as did my wife. My brother in law had the ramen soup, which was also filling and flavorful. Many of the dishes were new to me, and the desserts were flavorful and textured without being too sweet. My wife, who had traveled in Japan last year, found the food to be authentic. The staff, including the waitress and a cheerful Japanese lady, were pleasant."

"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."

"Great atmosphere and food. Went there on an evening and found it to be a calming experience. I was in attendance with four others and we started with a mixed platter and seafood platter. These small portions, nicely presented, previewed what was to come from the salmon that melts in the mouth through to the vegetable pakora that was lightly fried and has a gentle flavour. For my main I ordered a Roghan Josh Lamb Shank. This is advertised as being marinated overnight and you could tell because every morsel was packed with flavour. Not only that, the shank was cooked perfectly and meat came away from the bone effortlessly. To accompany my main I had some tandoori roti, which tore well and could be used to retrieve portions of meat as well as scoop up portions of the sauce."
