Guests praise the attentive service and well-executed cocktails, with some meals garnering rave reviews for taste and presentation. However, past patrons have expressed disappointment regarding the inconsistency of food quality and flavor, particularly at breakfast, where the ingredients fell short. While the ambiance is slightly lacking in character, the restaurant's commitment to accommodating dietary needs is commendable. Overall, while some diners recommend it for smart dining, others suggest exploring options outside for a more satisfying culinary experience.
Even though breakfast and dinner was part of our plan for an extended business stay, after dinning a few times and trying numerous items, we chose to go into town and pay to dine elsewhere. We are very budget consequence, to not eat a free meal and purchase food elsewhere says a lot about how disappointed we were with the food. The quality of ingredients was poor and there was a holistic lack of flavor. At times the food at dinner was presented well, picture perfect; however, the meat would be over cooked, the food was poorly seasoned, the soups were literally the worst soups I have ever eaten in my life. That says a lot as I do not think I have ever had a soup I did not like before trying the soups here. Breakfast consisted of traditional English breakfast using poor quality ingredients, runny yogurt, fruit from tins and lots of processed breads and cheap baked items. They did have a few small containers of nuts that you could use as a topping for the yogurt or your cereal. Service was slow, our tea/coffee would come out after we had finished our meal. The one strong positive thing that I can write is that they genuinely seemed to care if people had allergies to any ingredients on their menu. The staff tried but they were mostly young and poorly trained.
We had dinner here during the two nights of our stay, the first night it was good but second evening wasn’t overly impressed could be our choices of food of course,
We’ve had good food here a few years ago and thought we’d try it again. We weren’t disappointed- the food was delicious! Our waitress was also really lovely. It is a restaurant within a hotel, so is smart but lacks a little character but the food really made up for that. Well worth a visit if you want a smart restaurant and very good food. It was also busy, so had a buzzy atmosphere.
Excellent food at reasonable prices, nice menu and you can choose off the bat main menu if their is nothing from the Brasserie menu that takes your fancy
We recently had another fantastic experience at the Winchester Spa Hotel. The service provided by all staff members was top-notch, but the service we received at the brasserie was truly exceptional. Our waiter, Isaac, was courteous and attentive, going above and beyond to make us feel valued. The meals we enjoyed were all excellent, and the bar had a wonderful selection of cocktails. We will definitely be returning soon.
