Restaurant 22 - Cambridge

WOW! This restaurant is absolutely flawless and couldn't be better. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is the best I've had in a long time. The portion sizes on the Short Tasting Menu are perfect, with a variety of delicious flavors to enjoy. The non-alcoholic drinks that came with each course were also perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant as a real treat.

We had a fantastic meal and really appreciated the special touches that made our dining experience extra special. We couldn't find any faults. Thank you!

Having had this on our wish list for a while we decided to treat dine here as our Christmas gift to ourselves, and we were not disappointed. Lovely setting and attentive staff. The food was amazing, tasty and beautifully presented with clear explanations as each was served. It would be difficult to pick a favourite dish all were so good, with the most delicious combinations of flavour and texture. On a personal note the only thing we didn't enjoy was the yeast butter one of three, so plenty of the others to enjoy with the most delicious bread we have ever had . The only very minor suggestion for improving the score from 99 to 100 would be staggering the serving of dishes in the upstairs area a bit more, it is small which is lovely but when most of the tables were served a dish within a few seconds of each other it was quite difficult to focus in in our server and hear them properly not their fault, they were speaking clearly and loudly enough, just the combination of so many talking at the same time . For a special treat we'd definitely recommend dining here.

We have been going to R22 for a few years now have loved it. The food is great. We’re always surprised by something the wine pairings are spot on. We always opt for the full tasting menu and flight of wines to get the most out of the experience. The place is cute cosy, which is one of the reasons we’ve repeated our visits. Our last trip was not so great though we won’t be going back. It all started so well. Incredible food wine as always. Cannot complain about that. Half way through the meal my husband commented that he thought we were being rushed a little. We had finished the whole thing at the same time as those around us who were having the shorter menu. Certainly not how it should be or how we’ve ever experienced before. Then we were offered a drink to finish, which we ordered. As the drinks were brought over to us, we were told we had 5 minutes to finish them and leave as our time was up! Sadly this left a really bad taste in the mouth combined with the rushed meal, spoilt the experience. It was such a shame. If they’d messed up not allowed sufficient time for us to have the full menu they should’ve just said rather than rushed it. Too much money to spend for it to be ruined like that. We'll be heading back to Midsumer House for these meals from now on. More expensive but the service is on another level.

Previous reviews make a very compelling case as to why this is simply a fabulous restaurant. But you need to try it for yourself. It is very special and the quality of the food is out of this world. The friendly service complements the whole experience and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable. Although a tasting menu, with multiple courses, they arrive at a leisurely pace and you never feel full. We had the classic wine flight and this was extremely carefully chosen with flavours that paired superbly. We will definitely return and although not cheap, this place was worth every last penny. Thanks to all!!
