What PaulC likes about Blakes Restaurant:
Blake's excellent restaurant made for a fabulous Valentine's Night. The room is beautifully designed with a fun and lively atmosphere whilst still remaining romantic. There's a great bar which links into the restaurant and it's definitely worth pausing for an aperitif. The perfect place for dinner for 2. The food was first class and the wine list offers a great choice at a wide price range. The service was superb. We... View all feedback. What Linda Michelsen doesn't like about Blakes Restaurant:
Terrible food deep fried in bad oil that 's been reused many times. They put disgusting greasy, deep fried rice patty as a base for tuna tartar to make the portion look bigger and use less fish. The veal schnitzel is just bread crumps and bitter grease made me feel sick and had to refuse it. For £30 per main and £16 for appetizer such rubbish food is utterly unacceptable. What fine dining is it goes beyond me. View all feedback.

Great space....but very poor service. Food was good. Sat under speaker and virtually unable to speak. Just expected more.

The restaurant in question has received a mix of reviews, with some patrons praising the food quality and ambiance, while others have raised concerns about the service and menu options. While some customers have raved about the atmosphere and delicious meals, others have expressed disappointment in the slow service and limited gluten-free options. The restaurant seems to have a cozy and romantic decor, with a lovely garden for hightea, but still needs to work on improving the service and menu variety to cater to all diners' preferences. Overall, the reviews suggest that the restaurant has potential, especially for special occasions, but there are areas that need improvement to provide a consistently positive experience for all guests.
