The food is the Best in Lincoln, service was nice, and atmosphere was ok but little bit loud.

Both me and my friend have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and the Jews house eclipsed them in terms of:service, friendliness, atmosphere and the food. Samantha is very friendly and indulged all my questions about wine and was very informative about the food and clearly incredibly passionate. Excellent wine, beautiful food and incredibly friendly owner and staff! If you’re in Lincoln indulge yourself and go to the Jews house.

Stayed to celebrate in Lincoln just for one night, so we wanted something special.
We had high expectations, and that place still overdelivered.
The portions are very interesting, but also substantial. You won't leave hungry, I promise.
Sorbet was the name of the game. Horseradish sorbet, coriander sorbet, melon sorbet. Absolutely amazing.
The service was very friendly, but extremely precise.
Overall, immensely enjoyed the visit. Probably the best dinner we've had in the UK this year.

Absolutely sensational food, some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Samantha and Gavin do an excellent job of bringing dishes together, making the dining experience unforgettable in the best possible way. Service: Brilliant - Food: Truly exceptional.

Located in a beautiful 12th century stone house on the famous Steep Hill, I was told this is arguably the best restaurant in Lincoln. Based on my experience, I won't be the one disputing that. I absolutely loved it!
It is sympathetically restored and beautifully decorated. Modern additions of light stained framewood contrasts with the much older darker beams. The white painted ceiling between the beams and white walls brightens the place, but not too much, just enough, as it is combined with rich ochre and exposed stone walls. The palette of rich, bold ochre and red colours continues in the choice of materials, the velvet chairs and wall sitting area wonderfully complementing the darker wood of the tables.
At the same time, the dimmed lighting provided by the lamps carefully positioned, almost requires a few minutes for your eyes to get used to it and take it all in. It is then, when sitting at the table that one can really appreciate the beauty of the place: stylish, upmarket, very elegant and classy, almost with a feel of a stately home.
The way in, through a narrow and low ceiling side passage, is wonderfully quirky and totally belies what is to come. It almost has a theatrical way about it, opening into the compact entrance where you are met by the superb Samantha and staff.
The food is absolutely delicious. I went all fishy on the day: cornish turbot as starter and seabass as main. I loved the imagination of some of the elements on the plate and the combination of flavours and textures, as well as the presentation.
I chose the strawberry n elderflower jelly dessert on the day, with champagne consommé, white chocolate mousse and a rapsberry sorbet. Sweetness and acidity perfectly balanced and a fitting end to a wonderful meal.
The atmosphere is great, very relaxed, so much so that I established easy conversation with some of the dinners, some regular customers driving over an hour to come to this restaurant as, according to them, it is not only the best restaurant in Lincoln but one of the very best in the area.
And if you are into wine, fear not, the wine list is extensive and Samantha's knowledge phenomenal.
A beautiful restaurant with delicious food, great staff and exceptional service. Unmissable!

Simple the best in Lincoln. Makes the scamper up and down steep hill worth every step.
Great service, warm abs attentive staff in a beautiful setting.
Having been here multiple times and heard the sameoif others, we would definitely recommend the Jews House!
Adam Woods
A six course tasting menu, at the 3rd course I thought we may need to stop for a meal on the way home, despite the quality, the portions are minute. By the 4th course I was feeling ok, the 5th full, and the 6th fully stuffed. Superb food, 1st class wines and the best service.
Not a cheap night out though

Small, intimate, high-end restaurant set in a wonderfully characterful old property halfway up the hill in Lincoln. Offers a la carte dining and a 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. Exceptionally friendly staff. We tried the tasting menu and while two dishes were excellent, there were several noticeable blips in quality (including a pancake that was clearly burnt to look at let alone taste), and overall the menu wasn't particularly imaginative. If you have the luxury of being able to go further afield, there are better experiences to be had for this price. If you're limited to Lincoln, though, I think there's nothing else that competes.

Accommodated our allergies well, even after my huge mistake on the starter I was offered an alternative.
Had the roast beef which was delicious (in particular the butternut squash purée) and my wife had macaroni cheese (without mustard) for the main meal.
Only real minor blemish was the size of soft drinks are very small at 200ml. Quaint but not ideal and really should be 330ml minimum.
Jenny Meyah

Michael Horbaschk
Very experimental cuisine at high price level
Excellent Service. The tasting Menu contains dishes Like pork Belly with apricot Sorbet which exceeded my scope of taste. Others dishes Well prepared and served. Historic Building with nice Ambiente.
Tracy Johnston
Food at the jews house. Just fantastic ..in particular the pork belly/miso starter...and the chocolate dessert. But everything that came out of the kitchen was fab , we couldnt fault it. Chef is from Glasgow. Names Gavin . His partner is front of house. The attention to detail was fab. We were looked after really well ....

Why don’t we come here more often?
I have lived in Lincoln all of my adult life and enjoy eating out a lot, Lincoln doesn’t have too many fine dining restaurants so when my wife suggested that we would go out and celebrate my birthday we had the usual discussion “where shall we go”
The decision was made to go to Jews house and sincerely what a decision, we arrived slightly early and had the option to sit in the lounge area or go to the table we decided to go directly to the table and enjoy the atmosphere of the room.
We ordered our first drinks Fabulous gin and tonic perfectly served. As we arrived early we had to wait a few minutes to order which wasn’t a problem and was told as we arrived due to a large table who had just ordered all handled very well. We ordered our food I was so impressed with the waitress who explained the whole menu in detail which massively impressed me.
My beetroot terrine arrive with horseradish sorbet was amazing the presentation along with the taste of the dish was genuinely outstanding. The mains arrived which was sea bass along with seasonal vegetables which again was amazing. I have used so many superlatives in this review because the food was so good.
We decided against the taster menu but listening to the explanations of the wine and food means we will definitely return for this very soon.
Go and visiting this restaurant it is fabulous !
Thomas Banks.
With out doubt the best restaurant in Lincon. This place always delivers on the very best flavour combinations and the levels of service is exceptional.
Stephen Martin
Really good food well-prepared and presented. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Nice atmosphere.
Mallarkey Tatham
Lovely food and atmosphere for a fancy meal. Food was nice but nothing stood out as being fantastic. My partners cheese board looked super and I wished I'd gone for that. We paid £100 per head including wine and tip.
Seb Roberts
Enjoyed an excellent meal here last night. Lovely building, beautifully decorated, knowledge and attentive staff, great lighting and lovely atmosphere. Loved the table centrepieces - little ceramic dark bowls with gold leaved interiors with tealights. Very interesting, seasonal and very well constructed menu complimented with well put together wine list with wines from around the globe. Not sure how this little gem is not in the Good Food Guide. It definitely should be!!
Ian J G Norton
A true gem in a beautiful building. This is a top class restaurant. The food is sublime and superior to anything else you will.find in Lincoln. An excellent wine list, lovely decor and friendly knowledgeable and efficient staff make this a very special place indeed.
Susan Cottingham
We had the most delicious meal at this fabulous restaurant last night and it was absolutely perfect. The food was so beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The knowledge about where the food is sourced was excellent. Dietary needs seem well catered for when mentioned in advance. The decor, service and ambiance are all faultless I don’t usually manage three courses but couldn’t resist the gingerbread mousse with blackberry ice cream. Thank you for a truly memorable evening, we’ll be back.
Sarah Coupland
