The food was outstanding, so if you want a food experience then it's a must. However, there are some areas in need of improvement. We booked for a table of 11 and upon arrival we we seated at the floor table. There are cushions to sit on around a table. As authentic as this was, the majority of our party was extremely uncomfortable and really struggled for the 3 hours there. I would feel it would necessary to ask whether this table is suitable. We could have had disabilities and not been able to sit there. There was no other table to sit at as it was completely full. The live music was fantastic, but you couldn't see or hear him properly. It was too loud in there to appreciate the music. Some of the service was slow, although very polite. And things like cutlery and plates had to be asked for each time.

We will look forward to our...
Read moreWe stumbled across Silvan's today whilst we stopped off for a look around Taunton all I can say is Wow!!! I can honestly say that this is now going to be a stop off point whenever we make the journey to Somerset! The food was so fresh and full of flavours that all of my family (that were very very hungry after missing breakfast) wanted a second helping so they went back for more. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes I wish we could have brought you back to London. But honestly if anyone is in Taunton and looking for food you will not be disappointed. Can't wait to come...
