Food was very nice and good value. However considering it was a Friday evening the restaurant was completely empty so no real ambience. Also not offered dessert or coffees, the receptionist added the bill to our hotel bill.

Last time I came to this restaurant I was more than happy with everything and did infact recommend to a friend. My recent visit was nothing more than a disappointment. When we arrived there the restaurant was virtually empty but still waited for 20 mins before drinks arrived. Food followed 15mins later and my order was incorrect? I had ordered jacket potato but was presented with a baguette. I was told the jacket potato would take a further 10 mins so decided to stay with the baguette. The waitress was very apologetic and did not charge me for the incorrect meal. Considering the restaurant was far from full the service was very slow. However the food was very good and the portions were plentiful. I don’t know if I will go back. My daughter was very reluctant to do so.
