Hibiscus

Overall, it was a good experience, the food was excellent and the service was attentive. As mentioned in other reviews, timings between courses are too slow. The food was worth the wait, but getting timings between courses snappier would elevate the overall experience. Delivering this whole experience in under 3 hours would make it exceptional. It took us a touch over 3 1/2 hours, and towards the end of the meal, it was clear serving staff wanted to go home.

Dec 24th, 2020. After a terrible birthday and afternoon for my 20th I was looking forward to going to Hibiscus for dinner with my sister. It is covid season and I was nervous for what they would say and where we would sit. However, I booked the table for 2 about 1 week before attending and they were very accommodating. They asked what time and date etc, and even asked if I had any dietary requirements. We finished the phone conversation and I remembered I had to tell them something. After not getting through I had a call back immediately (I was leaving a voicemail as they called back) The day arrived and I was ready to go. I had a big red ball gown which I had to get changed into in the bathroom, they were happy to let me do this and then lead me and my sister to our table. The service was spectacular, every dish which came out they explained what it was and I had a superb evening considering the current day I have been through. Elliot was particularly friendly and very knowledgable about the courses like the other staff. They were all extremely polite and happy to serve us both. At the end they even brought out some cake my sister had bought for us to eat since it’s my birthday. The chef came out and spoke to each of us table by table.HONESTLY this review may seem a bit boring. But this was one of the best and most professional restaurants I’ve been to (and I’ve been to quite a few) I would definitely go back again!! Nice and spacious area with social distancing implemented which was reassuring. They all wished me a happy birthday and Christmas/new year and so did some of the guests. The people here (staff & guests) aren’t your average Joe’s. (They’re lovely, beautiful people) Over all 10,000/100 Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I ate here last night for the first time and the whole experience was amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and presented perfectly. The service was exceptional even though the restaurant was full. We had 10 courses in total if you include the bread, snack and the after dinner sweets which we were not expecting, so was a plesent surprise. We both felt extremely looked after. The atmosphere was calm and quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed the who experience of the taster menu and will be planning on going back again.

Lovely to be at the Abbey on an evening. Beautiful dining room, glamorous and stylish. Cool lofi ambiance with chilled music and a friendly warm atmosphere. Food and wine flight combo was sensational. Cooking skills displayed were fantastic, unexpected flavour combinations, plenty of textures and the Hibiscus Billini was magic. We loved it!
