    Food menu is okay, it is just overly priced. If you are someone that travel alot or do alot of eat outs in other cities like London, Peterborough, Manchester, Birmingham, Luton just to mention a few. You will quickly find out Cambridge Restaurants are overly Priced for a bare-minimum food options.

    The afternoon tea was actually good the place is really cold and the service is unfortunately really bad. You can obviously feel that the waiter lacked of experience. It was awkward at some point. She made me pay the full price of a glass of prosecco at £8 something but on the menu, it was an extra £5 for this exact glass. When I told her she just panicked and I don't wanted to be more bothered because I knew the situation would be complicated to held by this young girl. We just left. for good.

    We had a wonderful time there thanks to the staff! We brought two children, 4 and 7 years old, and the staff were so sweet and kind to us! We all enjoyed being there. The food was excellent, and I loved the cake and drinks from buffet. We will definitely visit there again!

    We had an amazing experience last night dining at Folio Bar & Kitchen. I have Celiac and they presented me with a gluten free menu to accommodate me. I love the atmosphere of the hotel and restaurant, the service was excellent, food and presentation were fantastic and cocktails from the bar very tasty! I highly recommend! Will be back!
