Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Standlake

A wonderful evening . Friendly professional service and truly delicious food. We all have fresh fish and it was superb.

We had a lovely meal here- wonderful inventive cooking in a beautiful setting. The wait staff were also very kind and attentive.

Excellent Venue and ambiance in a beautiful setting. I went at a quiet time in the afternoon. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable in all areas and calmly dealt with an additional request. The chef must be praised also by accommodating a last minute dietary change. The whole experience was calming and all was conducted at a gentle pace.

Broadly I found the food I sampled - two courses (fish starter and meat main) - to be in alignment with the thrust of previous reviews, and to be in very good order. Portions were generous, including the bread given as an adjunct to one's core order. The chosen accompanying wines also went down very well, from a decent list (they only had 1 dessert offering but this was at least a moreish Monbazillac, which subbed for a real dessert pretty well). The service was superb, although perhaps I should qualify this with an expectation that it really should've been, given my visit was on a Monday evening in late February and for a good 3/4 of my time in the restaurant, there were literally no other customers besides me! I do hope this reflected the time of year etc more than the perceived or experienced qualities of the establishment. As far as I could tell, I am confident that was likely the case. Once a few additional punters did arrive - quite late on, possibly post-University commitments in most cases - the atmosphere livened up and it felt a little less isolated! I felt some were likely regulars with their own tables. The ambience as directed by the design and decor though was excellent even when I was alone in the place - I even sent a pic of it to a friend with the caption "this is how I'd like my front room done"! It is very trad, classic, in keeping with the delightful building, with no unpleasant minimalism or stark modern intrusions - that is how I like things anyway - and felt very comfortable.
