I just love this restaurant. There is very little that I can say against it. The food is divine, the wine list impressive, the service attentive (if a little too camp) and the atmosphere at once intimate and open.

The menu consists of a lord of the manor's dream; red meat cooked to your penchant, white meat so tender it will make your taste buds dance vegetarian dishes that make you wonder why you ever ate red or white meat. Every time that I have been there, I have been overwhelmed by the number of dishes that I would like to eat; this is certainly no restaurant to hurry the ordering process. Starters and desserts are worthy of as much attention as the mains. Prepare to leave feeling replete.

The wine list is diverse and perfect for the menu. The house wine comes in two litre carafes and you are charged for what you drink, but if fine wine is your fancy then do not despair as there are some delectable vintage red and whites that are to die for.

The restaurant is spread over three (or is it four) floors and each table has its own character. I have never sat in the same place at Maggie Jones and each meal has given me a different flavour of the M.J. experience.

If I was to have any criticism it would be that the service can be erratic on rare occasions, but usually it is faultless, and there are far too many pros to condemn it on this slight nitpick. The bill can add up as well, but it is really up to you how much you spend. It is just that everything tastes so good you will want to savour every single course.

As I said at the beginning, I just love this place, but I am not the only one, so ensure that you book in advance so as not to be disappointed.
