Hidsummer Mouse. The Best-kept Secret in Cambridge
From the outside, Midsummer House appears to be a pleasant riverside Cambridge residence with no hint of it concealing the best restaurant that I have ever dined in underneath. The tasting menu provided a cornucopia of delicate dishes, each with its

I've been coming to Midsummer House since 2002 and it is always a memorable dining experience. On this occasion, we joined foodie friends for a birthday celebration and from arrival to departure, the service was impeccable and the food excepti
Donโt miss out on this place! (Chad was great)
Me and my partner came here to watch the football, food was fantastic, drinks were great and the somehow the service was even better - Chad was attentive, friendly and super helpful overall.
Definitely would give 5 stars if I could.
What a fabulous little gem this place is! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles and fabulous staff who completely made our evening. We were spotted trying to take a photo outside and a young lady at the door sprung into action to
Good food, not so good wine
This is a Michelin starred restaurant and in our case a lunch for two cost over ยฃ500 including wine so you have to look at the overall experience in that context. The good points: it was a lovely setting next to the river in Cambridge; the decor ins

A Midsummer Dayโs Dream
This was my second time dining at Midsummer House. I had decided to spoil my partner with her first visit to celebrate a Birthday. It was a delightful visit and we were made to feel very special. From the start, after you walk through the front doo
Awful experience
I had an awful experience with Midsummer House. My family went for lunch to celebrate my dad and husbandโs birthdays. Following the meal, I emailed Midsummer House with some serious concerns. I was very disappointed with their poor customer servic
Such a treat
My husband took me to celebrate my 50th birthday as it had been on my wish list for a while. The warm welcome as the front door opened was the start of 3 lovely hours of being looked after! The tasting menu just got better course after course - stand
Spectacular from start to finish
What an amazing experience at Midsummer House. The staff were all brilliant, really knowledgeable and attentive. All the extra little touches made it super special. And the food and wine pairing was just divine. Every course was absolutely delicious
Beale's Plaice
This was our third visit and the food, drink and staff, particularly Katie, were excellent as ever. I recommend the luxurious wine pairing, which was a real treat. It's a shame that the owner was too self- important to come out of the kitchen himsel
A fantastic and surprisingly good value experience - would definitely recommend
Just fantastic! everything so well prepared and presented - the confit of rabbit with prunes and duck liver was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted and most of the other dishes weren't far behind. One of the few restaurants of it's kind where I
A memorable lunch
Champagne on arrival followed by the Lunchtime Taster Menu; two hours and forty-five minutes of blissful indulgence. Every one of the 13 elements was exquisite in presentation and taste and the service was quietly efficient with an explanation of eac

Nice..but very expensive
There was 6 of us..for a 3 couse meal in the evening The meals were very well presented but very small It was like dining at home as bits just a converted house by the river. Its great for a special occasion if you are not paying yourself..lol.
Sumptuous
Sumptuous food, really nice staff, and they gave us some souvenirs! Perfect venue for an extravagant coupleโs treat. Highly recommended
Exceptional but don't miss out!
One can forget how exceptional Midsummer House is if leaving too long between visits! The food is sublime: delicate flavour mixes and clever texture and temperature variations, all superbly presented.It is not let down by the level of service: attent

A first visit for me on a miserable rainy day in March. But what a delightful experience it turned out to be. perfect, friendly service and a meal to really remember. I enjoyed everything that was put in front of me. Beautifully presented and an incr
Did not disappoint, amazing experience!
Finally managed to get a Saturday night table booked for my birthday. I have wanted to dine at this prestigious restaurant for a long time and hoped it would be as amazing as I had built it up to be, I was not disappointed! We were shown upstairs to
WOW!

Stunning food and a special celebration
Faultless food and service. Lovely location. Pricy but a super experience. Definitely a place to celebrate something special!
First Class
What an experience! From start to finish this was exceptional! Really couldn't fault it! Bravo to all the staff
Two Michelin stars?
We had lunch. A trio of canapes were pleasant but unremarkable. The first course proper - crispy hoisin duck, onion, cucumber and salad burnet was unbalanced - dominated by the flavours of sesame, onion and hoisin sauce. A dish of contrasting treat
Food at its very best
Everything about the lunch was just amazing. The different flavours of the food blended beautifully on the palate, the presentation was just stunning, the staff were incredibly knowledgeable, they welcomed questions about the combinations of flavours

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Midsummer House Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Midsummer House Cambridge page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Midsummer House Cambridge to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Midsummer House Cambridge!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
