Having taken a seat looking out to sea, we waited and waited and waited to be served. During that time two other potential customers came and left due to the wait. To make things worse a waiter was in full view all the time chatting to two ladies, it would appear just passing the time of day. Ultimately I approached him to enquire if it was table service or whether I had to go into the hotel to order, He replied I will be with you shortly. He continued to chatting to the two ladies for another 5 minutes and then came and took our order for two coffees. The disappointment continued as the coffee was extremely weak and tasted like instant coffee with hot milk. The good part is it did come with two delicious biscuits. The final insult was a bill for £11.40 for two coffees. Never again, be warned.

I love to come here for a drink and some quiet contemplation. They serve a great G&T or glass of champagne (plus other things). Will try the restaurant soon.
