Wow - what a superb dinning experience! We were very apprehensive about the whole concept - no set menu with complete trust of the chef and currently available seasonable ingredients at £50 a head. However we need not have worried - all the reviews are correct. We had 5 courses and each one was excellent. My normally fussy family all loved every single course and the owner/waiter was absolutely charming. Thoroughly recommended - so good I want to go again next time I am in town.
Query little place but the food was absolutely beautiful. Catered for a table of 4 with 2 pescatarians! Great atmosphere. House wine wasn't bad either (we had 3 bottles, just to make sure!)
We went to La Mesa last night and all I can say is WOW!!
The food was delicious- five courses with the most exquisite flavour combinations, the wine was fab as recommended by our lovely waitress Sarah Jayne and the ambiance was unique created by the unique chef patron Gerald. All in all a great meal and experience- can’t recommend it enough. Go!!
Amazing food, and hospitality.
Miss this place and you will regret it.
I simply can't fault it, my only regret is I can only give 5 stars.
+++++ each plus goes behind each star.
You don't get a menu, as they serve you what they are doing.
Such a great night at this restaurant, staff were superb, attentive and friendly. It’s a set menu so you have no choice though there were alternatives for vegetarians/vegans but the food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely return next time we’re in Warwick
Brilliant food, great staff and chef.. Everything 10 out of 10 bar the pudding... Giving that 8 out of 10...it was nice just not at the same level as the amazing food.. I don't eat puddings anyway but the missus gave that verdict, can't wait to go back
Lovely meal here, slightly disconcerting not knowing the cost of the meal or wine before hand but I'm sure they'll tell you if you ask - it was £7 a glass of wine and £35 each for the meal itself for us. Service was lovely and homely.
Foodwise, it was good, on our night we had rare beef and curry sauce on supermarket rice crackers, an odd but delicious combo; celeriac soup; prawn in salsa verde, mushrooms on brioche...the let downs were that the bread was cold and supermarket bought imo, the chicken main which was overdone, the parsnip accompanying it underdone (but the sauce absolutely stunning). Dessert definitely felt like an afterthought of whipped cream, caramel sauce and Sauternes but given the size of kitchen and the uncertainty of weekday covers it was always going to have to be something prepared earlier or quick on the go. Overall, great idea, definitely someone's aspirations come to life and well worth the price point.
Very enjoyable evening here. Six course tasting menu, the outstanding ones for us were deliciously intense mushroom and mustard soup ;fabulous fresh, citrussy tuna ceviche on lip smacking garlic and chilli guacamole ; superb gambas on paella with belly pork. Accompanied by smooth and easy drinking Rioja, also offering white or rose, Estrella for beer drinkers. All the diners around us appeared to be having an equally good time. Very reasonable value for such high quality.
Great evening spent with friends enjoying beautiful food. Loved that you eat what the chef decides will be cooked that day. A brief explanation of each taster dish is given, served with wine or beer. Will definitely be back.
Amazing place. Love the concept. Wouldn't work for fussy eaters so if you are picky .. simply don't go. There is no menu, the host feeds you and it's an absolute delight. It is honest food, beautiful produce and absolutely rammed with taste. Perfect portions so you don't come away feeling uncomfortably stuffed. Five courses plus bread (which is a meal in itself and heavenly). What I really loved was the fact that there were no fancy processes, no pacojets were involved with this meal (very uncommon in good establishments these days) and it was accordingly deliciously simple. Definitely a must if you love food and you find yourself in this part of the world
