About Menu Gordon Jones
Dinner at Menu Gordon Jones runs on surprise: no menu arrives at the table, just course after course of daily-changing Modern European food, each one explained by the chef himself as it lands. That directness — Gordon Jones talking through what he has made and why — is less formal than most fine dining in Bath and more memorable than almost any of it. The lemon sole with beefsteak mushroom and the mushroom soup are the dishes people keep writing about, and the wine pairing or wine flight that runs alongside them is worth committing to: the sommelier knows the list and the pairings are chosen to match each course. At the end of the evening the full menu and the wine list are printed out to take home, which tells you something about how seriously the kitchen takes what it has put together. The music runs to indie rather than elevator, the room is intimate, and the welcome from the moment you walk in is warm without being performative.
In the last 90 days, Menu Gordon Jones has drawn 6 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.

Wine flight pairings
Wine flight pairs course by course with the menu; reviewers consistently praise the wine pairings as beautiful and among the most delicious they have tasted.
Warm, attentive service
