Dining Experience and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "This was THE best dining experience I’ve ever had!"
  • "The atmosphere was amazing, the calm, quiet, and chilled vibe was on point."
  • "The staff were so attentive but not close to annoying or intrusive."
  • "This is a very relaxed informal dining experience."
  • "I loved the intimate dining area and the general atmosphere of the restaurant."
  • "The atmosphere of the restaurant was so calm and minimal, which helped us feel focused on the food and the experience as a whole."
  • "The atmosphere and dress code really brought fine dining to such a comfortable place."
  • "The service was also fantastic; everything arrived in good time and our questions were answered fully."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately our experience at Joro was tarnished by how incredibly hot the restaurant was."
  • "Service seemed frantic all night and they kept taking our drinks menu away like they only had 1 for the whole restaurant."
  • "The only thing that bothered me is the place where we were seated. There is a night club upstairs whose clientele while walking past knocked on the glass wall few times which spoiled the ambience."
  • "We arrived at 1730hrs for a 1745hrs booking on chilly evening and weren’t able to enter until 1745hrs with nowhere else to go!"

Tasting Menu and Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Almost 14 years later it’s been knocked off the top spot by 3 of the dishes on the 8 course tasting menu."
  • "Each one bursting with flavours and beautiful presentations."
  • "The best tasting menu I've ever had. We tried to pick a favourite course but we just couldn't as they were all great."
  • "Each course was explained in detail and paired with a drink that really complimented the dish."
  • "The food is fantastic, the service personalised and exceptional and the atmosphere is cosy."
  • "Incredible, the tastiest things I have ever eaten, I would recommend it to anyone."
  • "Every single dish was incredible, we also went for the drinks pairings and it was really fun to try something different and unexpected with each course."
  • "Great evening 8 course tasting menu. The service is very fast paced which suited us as we don't like to hang about."

Cons:

  • "It was ok but you have to like fish and seafood a lot to really enjoy it which is quite a lot to do with personal taste."
  • "For the 10 course tasting menu, the starters and desserts were a lot better than the more main courses. Caviar was also pretty average."
  • "The cod and “tartar” dish was badly balanced and was over powered by capers."
  • "Dreadful for vegetarians! I came here for a meal on my birthday and had the vegetarian tasting menu, which revealed itself to be course after course of poorly cooked brassicas."
  • "Wouldn’t go for 10 course tasting menu not good value in my opinion tiny portions and I mean tiny been to many fine dining restaurants."
  • "The meal was ok, out of the 12 dishes there were about 4 which I really enjoyed (the eel, Duck, potato soup and forced rhubarb)"
  • "Slight disappointment on return visit. Still decent but variation in courses not as extensive as 18 months ago (not a single fish course out of 9)"
  • "Most of the menu was 'remove something' rather than 'replace'. Recommended if you don't have food allergies."
