The House By Hilly Gant - Braintree

Went here a few months ago for a graduation dinner, had heard amazing things about the previous owners and name so hoped highly they'd kept these traditions going, however the food was incredibly expensive considering the over-seasoned taste in all the meals. Food not as hot as would be expected, far too much cheese on a fish dish? To boot it was incredibly loud with too many tables in one room. I don't doubt this could have improved the last few months however please choose wisely when choosing to part with a significant portion of cash.

Really enjoyed myself at this restaurant and loved the food. I had the mushroom starter, the pork to main and the crème brûlée for dessert and couldn’t fault any of it! Service was great, our waiter had a sense of humour and at last minute switched out table to outside without any complaints etc. will visit again.

One of the best places in Braintree. All round 5 star. Lovely old building well kept and nice decor. Service is always excellent here and staff always very friendly. I've eaten here a few times now and everytime have been impressed. Lovely meals made by great chefs. Very reasonable prices too especially considering how good the food is. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice meal out.

Our 2nd visit, this time with friends fantastic food, lovely atmosphere wonderful staff highly recommend! Look forward to our next visit

The food was amazing. It worth the price. But we thought the atmosphere was cosier and it was bottomless drink (noise) and music was loud. The local looks so cool. We'll give another try other day and fingers crossed we can find the cosy environment linked to the local.
