Reviews Summary

Table 51 is praised for its delicious and consistent food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, making it ideal for dates or group outings. While many rave about unique dishes like crocodile and game options, some find the mashed potatoes to be a repetitive side and the restaurant can be quite loud. Chef Denis's personal attention to guests is a frequent highlight, adding a special touch to the dining experience.

"Thank you to the girls who provided amazing service throughout my meal tonight.

You should be proud to provide caring service, making sure that the customers always have what they need throughout their experience.

You did a great job tonight. Thank you 🙏🏻🙂"

Richard Shanks

"4 main meals were very well received. All comments were they were delicious. Only drawback was that mash potato was the consistent offering when it could have been a little more exciting. The veges were good."

Julie Witty

"Amazing food, staff and atmosphere.
Long time since I have been in a restaurant where the chef asks how the food is and is super attentive with customers.
Staff were very friendly too.
Had the crocodile crumbed, chicken Camembert and chicken Alaska. 10/10 for all dishes. Chicken was juicy and well cooked. Everything about the dishes were incredible.
Definitely recommend 👌 and will be coming back for sure!"
