Visited recently for the first time and it’s one of those rare places that lives up to and even exceeds their reputation. Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, everything was delicious, atmosphere was good, and the staff friendly. Can’t wait to return.

The 5 of us tried pretty much every plate on the menu! The starters were decent but perhaps a bit over priced for what it was. Mains- Would recommend the smoked haddock carpaccio, perfectly grilled asparagus and the succulent roast chicken and salad

A great place if you fancy a culinary treat, as it’s quite the food experience!

Great atmosphere in a bright open space. Lovely food and wine. Great for any occasion.

Been here several times and will be going back. Fun knowledgable staff, beautiful new refurb, good choice of wines, and some wonderful honest cooking with amazing ingredients.

Gloriosa is a culinary delight of simple goodness. Honest , fresh and healthy food. The focaccia is to die for. I couldn't fault any dish in any way. Presentation, taste and portions 100 percent satisfaction.

Beautiful lunch at Gloriosa! Menu was designed to share small plates, with plenty of variety with every dish cooked brilliantly. Staff were very attentive and polite, the restaurant had a very relaxed atmosphere. All in all very pleasant afternoon.

Absolutely beautiful food. Perfectly paced small plates, with a very cool but elevated style. Every dish we ordered was incredible but the Turbot was a real stand out. The service was extremely attentive and the restaurant itself has a really lovely vibe and atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough.
