The menu was limited and disappointing. There was an event in the main restaurant which obviously took priority. Maybe don’t have the pool restaurant open during events???

A fantastic Seaside Dinner. Fortunately for us Diana was able to get us a table right by ocean side. The bowl of Marinated chicken , rice and veggies was very tasty. The drinks, the music our Server Reana Were all Wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.

The food was very good overall, with a few misses here and there (overcooked fries, smaller portions.) I was expecting an extensive cocktail menu with fun specials, but that was not the case. The drinks we ordered were tasty, however. Seating is around the pool, which was in use by hotel guests. It was difficult to discern if -- and where -- we could use the firepits that are heavily advertised as part of the experience. Service was polite, although a bit slow and flat -- the interaction with staff did not create upbeat vibes. There was live music upon our arrival which was a pleasant addition to the experience. If that had continued and there was more of sense of fun to the place, we may have enjoyed additional drinks after our meal. There are a few tables beyond the pool directly overlooking the beach. I suspect the atmosphere may have felt a bit different there.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize for the drinks, service, and some of the food falling short of expectations. I will be sure to talk with the team before service begins today, as that's the complete opposite of the vibe we hope to create at the poolside; it should always be fun and lively! The firepits are always first come, first serve for any guests looking to use them. We hope you give us another chance in the future to make up for this.

I had visited the area with my family and found that the Pool House at Pelham House was our choice for dinner. We sat outside and ate a delicious dinner, and we all enjoyed the amazing setting. I highly recommend this restaurant for wonderful dining atmosphere.

Slow service, our waiter ordered the wrong meal for my husband, she ordered the wrong drink for me, and our bill was incorrect. We were disappointed.

The manager was so nice and friendly. The waitresses are lacking but I'm sure it's been a long busy season. The food was good but in the scallop roll the scallops shouldn't be deep fried in batter it takes away from it. The scallops cooked in butter in a roll would've been a home run. The drinks were very good! The place is so beautiful.

Great food and service. The live music stopped half way through as the weather was cool. Shame as we had ordered and were prepared to sit out to listen and ended up cold with no reason to be outside. A bit irritating especially as i'd phoned to check if the music was on.
