    Not a great experience today have been many times without a problem. Was not happy with the main meal was meant to be fillet of hake. Did not look great not the usual nice white colour and was full of long bones was accompanied by what was meant to be potato and leek was well and truly over cooked. It went back sadly my husband was already eating his meal, so therefore presented a problem for me. Obviously, they took the price of the meal off the bill, but that wasn’t the point really the lunch was ruined.

    Paper thin walls allowing us to hear the prostatic function of the guest in the floor above, a basin that didn't empty and a small TV hung from the wall like a leaf blowing in the wind. Not what we expected for £155 per night. The restaurant tries hard with the menu and the food is fine but the the bright lights, poor furniture and lack lustre service do nothing to help the lack of ambience. Also the wine is outrageous in price, 3x the price of the same bottle in Waitrose. Fine if on expenses and the hotel trade has to make a profit but we will go elsewhere next time.

    Food was superb, choice was good even with my dairy allergy which was noted then dealt with without me having to repeat it again. . Service was friendly and well timed despite the restaurant being busy with a wedding in the next room. Would highly recommend
