Woosters of Emsworth

I can't say enough good things about SardiniaWe had great service on a Saturday night.

There aren't many restaurants that exceed our expectations, but Sardinia went above and beyond.

filz welcomes from the beginning to help staff very quickly in anyway they could.. had a small mix with the starter. Ver carta

This restaurant is fantastic. The design and decor are beautiful, the staff is attentive, and the food is delicious.

This is a true hidden culinary gem that we discovered while driving down the street. Everything was perfect from food through service and to wine selection.

This restaurant is fantastic! The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, the food is amazing, and they even have live music. What more could you ask for? I am eagerly looking forward to returning. Ver carta

First time to Woosters, unfortunately I was not impressed with the food. I had the duck which was tasteless, and the whole dinner was just warm. I had the cheese board as a dessert option and that was lovely; overall it made the meal over priced for the quality. Where we were seated was cold; the ladies on the table next to us had to swap mid eating as one was very cold and the other kept her dress jacket on to compensate the cold. The staff were friendly, service was good and the music was great; but I can't say I will visit again, sorry.

However, our experience with the live music had highs and lows. The first time we attended, the performer was fantastic but we felt as though we had missed the best part of the set. The second time, the music was lackluster and barely noticeable. On our third visit, we arrived at 7:30 for an 8 o'clock start, only to find out the music didn't begin until 8:30. While the singer was good, there was a disconnect with the audience and the overall atmosphere felt a bit lacking. It was frustrating to have to wait for the music to start while our food grew cold and our drinks went untouched.

The restaurant has a cozy Art Deco feel and an entrance area flows into a rustic barn for the main seating. There is also an upstairs overflow for larger groups. The service was attentive and polite without being too interruptive. The food was exquisitely prepared and presented but large appetites may require all three courses. We shared a pigeon and beetroot starter and chocolate marquise dessert with coffee ice cream and had two mains of chicken and venison in a jus with potatoes and a few veggies, which was sufficient for our smaller needs. The beers are averagely priced but the wines are a little more expensive, in line with the food, which still represents good value given the attention... Ver carta
