Visited Enigma again last night and,as my title states,it never fails to impress. In addition to an extensive menu there were three seafood specials on offer. My husband & I both opted for the scallops-absolutely delicious & SO fresh! The relaxed atmosphere and very attentive staff make Enigma hard to pass by. I would thoroughly recommend for all occasions.

I booked Enigma for a group of 30 ladies. Lesley and her staff were thoroughly prepared for this large gathering. We were served table by table, ensuring that all food was piping hot. The restaurant provided us with a menu to suit our tastes. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and the consensus was that many of us would return in the... More

Visited here on Friday night with my parents for a pre Mother's Day meal and I can say we were thoroughly impressed. Two of us had the scallops and pork belly special which was delicious, the scallops were cooked beautifully. The other enjoyed the monkfish special. The only negative thing I could say we're the potatoes in the dauphinoise were... More

As my wife and I weren't able to go for a Valentines evening meal due to work commitments, we decided to go for lunch instead. Where? Where else but my favourite restaurant - Enigma! Firstly, may I first correct ”Yourpete” on his review entitled ”nothing exciting”. He states that he was given the option of a set menu or a... More

Arranged a lunch for a party of 6. When we arrived we started with a couple of drinks whilst we settled down – our table was ready when we arrived ok – we just wanted a few drinks first. The dining room was quite cold and a heater form the reception needed to be moved to keep us a bit... More

One Sunday a month Enigma puts on music at lunch time. The food is always great here anyway so having the music from about 2pm was an added bonus. Highly recommend Enigma.

No faults at all. Unfortunately no room for dessert though! That just means we will have to come back soon & leave room for dessert! Would definately recommend, great... More

Myself and my husband booked a table for quarter to 6 on a Saturday night in February. When we arrived we were not greeted at the door and as it was so early there was not much atmosphere - there was only one other couple in. However, I have to say that this was the only negative point about the... More
