We booked for a party of 6 on a Wednesday evening, before actually coming to Wells. When we saw the restaurant we were alarmed that we had made a wrong decision. There was no dinner menu in the window and the lunch menus and general ambience suggested a lunch time café/bistro, rather than the good restaurant we had anticipated. How wrong we were. We received a friendly welcome and were given menus which clearly focused on good food, rather than too many choices. We all chose the set 5 course "taster" menu at £48. The best choice we made all week. Stunningly good and innovative food. The soy jelly was a real favourite with the cooks in our party. Each course was a delight and the portions were exactly right - enough to be enjoyed, not enough to ruin appetites for the following courses. A "must revisit" when we are next in Wells. Question, is the appearance of the restaurant designed to scare of casual "window shoppers"? We would certainly not have booked but for the on-line reviews.
