The dinner itself was fine. I asked for three different wines, the first two were not available, third one was. The service was hit and miss, empty entree plates must have sat there for a good 15 to 20 minutes. The restaurant was not busy. The rest of the dinner flowed well. In summary it was ok. Don’t think I’ll be rushing back there.

The cream that was served with the scones was terrible !!! I don’t understand why we didn’t just get fresh cream it honestly tasted like it had Parmesan cheese in it, the texture was so wrong and did not suit the simplicity of a lovely traditional scone. Also a suggestion when serving tea it would be nicer to serve tea with loose leaf tea leaves instead of tea bags. Overall it was a lovely afternoon
AlluvialResponded on 27 September 2024
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent visit. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your afternoon overall, but we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the cream and the tea. Your suggestions for fresh cream and loose leaf tea are very much appreciated, and we’ll certainly consider them as we strive to enhance our guests' experiences. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable visit in the future! Best regards, Alluvial Restaurant

No people, no ambiance, no service. Food and drinks served then didn’t see a server at all! Had to go over to the bar to make our coffee and tea order. Food was very average for the price tag. Disappointing.

Nothing special with the food, the hot items were all cold, the omelettes tasted the same as it does if you make them at home. Not many optionsOverall taste was just ok. Not worth the money, would rather go to crown
