Hi all, apologies for the previous two posts but hey, I’m new to this game. It’s been really great to receive two impartial reviews (double whammy they’ve been good) as the local publications won’t do anything unbiased for fear of upsetting their advertisers, which makes it more difficult when you have a quality offering to stand apart from the rest. We’re two and half weeks in and constantly tweeking, not to mention 4 short in the brigade, so I’m hoping things will continue to improve. That said, I’m generally very happy with the standard of food and service and customer feedback has been extremely positive. What I’ve set my stall out to do with Alimentum is to bring a new kind of dining experience to Cambridge. By this I mean quality that is accessible. Midsummer is without question a quality restaurant, but because of the pricing and more formal style of dining it’s very much viewed as a special occasion restaurant, or for those fortunate enough to have long pockets. What we’re doing at Alimentum is keeping it simple. There’s no foams, no gels (although the food is technically prepared but presented simply on the plate) and service is friendly and efficient without being overly formal. The pricing is such that it’s not going to cost an arm and a leg, more your upper wrist, as I’m trying to fill the huge void in Cambridge of affordable quality restaurants beneath the MH level. Without wishing to write a huge advert for Alimentum (although it’s tempting), I want to deliver quality, consistency and value, and be viewed as somewhere you can go for great food and service without having to dig too deep. Thanks for the reviews, I’ll continue reading with interest!!
