The food was really nice. We were guests at the hotel for the week, but didn’t go back to the restaurant after our fist experience. this was mainly due to the poor service. The staff could not be more friendly, but there did not seem to be enough staff or they were busy elsewhere in the hotel. When we sat down, around 75% of the tables were empty, but had the leftovers/dishes/glasses from previous guests still on the table. It took so long before the waitress came to our table, that we already made a conscious decision not to order starters or desserts. We also walked to the bar each time to order our drinks, because the waitress seemed to be so busy elsewhere. The hotel is great and the food in the restaurant was good also, but I really think they are missing a trick with lack of staff in the restaurant. We weren’t really able to relax and enjoy our evening meal out, because we all felt frustrated by the lack of service.

Food was good but with a little bit of effort could of been great. Steak was on the rare side of medium rare but within what you would expect. Chips were some of the best chips I have ever had. Pepper sauce could do with being a bit thicker and some of the whole pepper corns were hard. The table service could do with being better, my food was delivered and she legged it before I could ask for some vinegar. The plate could also do with warming more.
