What AJG1Headmaster doesn't like about The Oak Room:
Front of house fine. Fillet steak ordered medium rare arrived charcoal black both sides. Silly error to order venison out of season, it was rubbery and not eaten. Shame because we usually love the Oak Room have now to revise future booking. View all feedback. What gboyle7 likes about The Oak Room:
We ate here as we were staying in the hotel (Royal lion) for a couple of nights and had a nice meal. We both opted for fish dishes and whilst the menu is not extensive we were both happy with our food and accompanying wine. The menu is reasonably priced compared to some in Lyme Regis and the service was good. The price of restaurants in Lyme seems to have increased significantly since Covid and availability is someti...

I recently dined at the main restaurant and had a terrible experience. The amuse bouche had a sharp, sour flavor that lingered throughout the meal. The starter...

Nestled in a charming seaside hotel, this restaurant promises an elegant dining experience, though opinions vary widely. While some guests appreciate the old-world charm and attentive service, others lament overcooked dishes and a lackluster atmosphere, with quiet, empty spaces failing to deliver the expected vibrancy. Some items on the menu sparked dissatisfaction, with concerns over freshness and ingredient availability raised. However, several diners enjoyed the good value and flavorful options, particularly the well-cooked fish and lamb dishes. Ultimately, while the restaurant has potential, it faces challenges in consistency and execution, leaving a mix of impressions among visitors.
