A family group of 8 decided to try Mint. Never been before. Would have been happy to have anything on the menu. All 3 courses that I had were different and delicious. Service and timing was perfect. Atmosphere casual and relaxed. A must try. We will be back. More

I had heard a number of mixed reviews of this restaurant and finally decided to check it out myself. I took my husband for his birthday (it happened to be Mint's birthday too) and we had a very pleasant experience. The menu read well and when our chosen dishes came out the presentation was fantastic, better still the taste lived... More

The four members of our group could not fault any of the dishes we chose.The service was good, wine choice good and atmosphere pleasant. A very old building has been renovated to create an open spacious effect.... More
