Jolene offers an enchanting foray into modern British cuisine, set within a beautifully refurbished warehouse that transforms from a bustling bakery and brunch locale by day to an intimate dining space by night. The menu shines with a tantalizing array of small plates designed for sharing, focusing on seasonal, sustainable ingredients that bring authenticity to every dish. Standouts include the parpadelle with pork ragu and pumpkin ravioli with brown butter, hazelnuts, and crispy sage, which showcase meticulous attention to detail and flavor balance. Complementing the food is a carefully curated selection of natural wines, perfect for those seeking an alternative vine experience, although traditional options are somewhat limited. Service is consistently exemplary; the staff exude warmth and knowledge, making each visit feel personal and attentive. Jolene balances culinary expertise with a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for both cozy evenings with friends or a sophisticated night out.
