We've had 6 visits to the Baron and have tried a number of dishes and the burger is a hands down winner, thereafter the halloumi, steak cuts (tomahawk, rump, new York), carpaccio, chicken pasta and hot veg. Somehow their spinach and butternut aren't dreary. The creme brulee trumps the brownie and malva pudding. The variety of cocktails are fair. Will go back for the sky rise atmosphere. The service is good and wait staff are attentive. Though we'd sent dishes back during our earlier visits, the kitchen has upped their game.

This dining experience lived up to its name. athe rib eye steak was succulent and flavorful. the lamb chops also hit the spot. chicken livers made to perfection. nothing to fault here. Was an absolutely amazing family dinner. Good fiod, great vibe, incredibly friendly staff.

Had the best steak in town with the most delicious sides ever. Our waitress was so friendly and accommodating and the food took less than 20 mins to arrive. We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary and received a complimentary blue berry cheesecake compliments of the house. Absolutely superb will definitely be back.

Really lovely atmosphere and service is attentive. Ideal place for a relaxed meal. Food was nice but I feel like certain details could be a bit more polished. For example, the shakshuka is supposed to have poached eggs instead of fried eggs. We ordered a side Caesar salad because we just wanted something light to accompany our meals but received the full size instead. Still a solid choice for a meal with a view but there is room for improvement.

Visited The Baron for lunch and it’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to. The setup is beautiful, with a well-thought-out layout that really enhances the overall experience, and the views are simply unparalleled. Even though it was just a lunch visit, you can tell this is the kind of spot that truly comes alive later in the day. On our next trip, we’ll make sure to come through in the afternoon or evening to get a proper feel for the atmosphere and enjoy more of what the full menu has to offer. A great experience overall, and one that’s left us looking forward to the next visit.
