Hibiscus — Restaurant in England

Overall we had great time Heavenly spot in a quiet Northampton suburbs Ample car parking spaces Lovely victorian building Nicely spaced out tables and good quality furniture Good quality food and Michelin star quality served in high quality plates Despite the menu says 7 courses but we had additional compliments like an amazing venison tart amuse bouche and a petit fours Staff were professionals elegantly dressed obliging and courteous The price tag is reasonable Unisex toilets and super clean Room for improvement: misleading parking signs saying parking closes at 5:30 Lighting of the billiard room was poorly lit and cold choice of ambient light and table lambs.. a warm light would have been a better choice Draught beer machine was broken and bottled beer served un chilled with limited choice White wine (pinot) was not matching with quality of food Sometimes the waiting time between courses was 20 minutes after finishing the plates expect full experience to last 3 hours The music was un modern and not matching the venue The raviolo dish was great but a tad cold The menu speaks about the history of the place which is great but we were more keen to learn about the chef, his/her passion and experience and the menu inspirations and stories.. for instance the lamb was sourced from Australia we didn’t know why and we prefer locally sourced amazing British lamb We suggest a member of the kitchen team to visit the dining venue and introduce themselves as we love to know the team behind the scene of such a great time and experience The plants choice was a surprise because they are not real plants. We read in the history description the orangery used to home plants so it would be better to keep the theme of living habitat rather than plastics Having fake plant in such an amazing place was rather unexpected and does not match the beautiful landscape view Overall a fantastic addition to Northampton dining enthusiast.....

Dec 24th, 2020. After a terrible birthday and afternoon for my 20th I was looking forward to going to Hibiscus for dinner with my sister. It is covid season and I was nervous for what they would say and where we would sit. However, I booked the table for 2 about 1 week before attending and they were very accommodating. They asked what time and date etc, and even asked if I had any dietary requirements. We finished the phone conversation and I remembered I had to tell them something. After not getting through I had a call back immediately (I was leaving a voicemail as they called back) The day arrived and I was ready to go. I had a big red ball gown which I had to get changed into in the bathroom, they were happy to let me do this and then lead me and my sister to our table. The service was spectacular, every dish which came out they explained what it was and I had a superb evening considering the current day I have been through. Elliot was particularly friendly and very knowledgable about the courses like the other staff. They were all extremely polite and happy to serve us both. At the end they even brought out some cake my sister had bought for us to eat since it’s my birthday. The chef came out and spoke to each of us table by table.HONESTLY this review may seem a bit boring. But this was one of the best and most professional restaurants I’ve been to (and I’ve been to quite a few) I would definitely go back again!! Nice and spacious area with social distancing implemented which was reassuring. They all wished me a happy birthday and Christmas/new year and so did some of the guests. The people here (staff & guests) aren’t your average Joe’s. (They’re lovely, beautiful people) Over all 10,000/100 Would...

Have wanted to eat here for ages but was so disappointed! The staff were really good but the food was terrible...my lamb main course was so fatty I couldn't cut it. As a gesture if good will they gave me a free cup of tea. The other 4 diners thought theirs was ok but not great. Also I know it is fine dining but I personally think all main courses need some sort of a potato product, or the option of some sort of sides. My main course was inedible and served with courgettes which I am also not keen on, a potato would have been very welcome . The chocolate kinky boots was nice to look at but not particularly...
