An
out
of
this
world
culinary
delight
that
everyone
should
experience.
My
son
and
I
ordered
the
taster
menu
and
although
all
our
dishes
were
exemplary,
presented
to
an
amazingly
high
standard
and
all
tasting
divine,
the
‘Hand
Dived
Scallop’
with
cannellini
and
black
pudding
ragout
was
the
pinnacle
of
our
evenings
dining
experience.
This
is
how
you
cook
scallops;
I
never
wanted
the
dish
to
end.
All
the
staff
working
at
the
Mere
were
immaculately
presented,
attentive
to
our
needs,
patient
and
polite.
They
never
stopped
smiling
throughout
the
entire
evening
and
every
dish
they
presented
came
with
a
full
explanation
of
all
ingredients
and
how
the
dish
was
prepared.
We
found
this
insight
a
particularly
nice
touch.
I
fully
understand
how
some
people
may
consider
the
prices
to
be
high,
however,
for
this
level
of
sophisticated,
high-end
cuisine,
I
feel
the
costing
is
balanced
and
fair.
My
son
and
I
were
privileged
enough
to
meet
both
Monica
and
David
at
the
end
of
the
evening,
finding
them
both
welcoming,
charming
and
generous
with
their
time.
It
astonished
me
to
learn
that
the
‘Mere
Restaurant’
does
not
have
a
Michelin
star!
However,
I
feel
with
this
consistent
level
of
gastronomic
excellence,
it
will
only
be
a
matter
of
time
before
you
are
all
rewarded
for
your
hard
work.
We
would
like
to
extend
our
gratitude
to
Monica,
David
and
all
your
staff
at
‘The
Mere’
for
a
perfectly
wonderful
evening.
