   We are regular visitors to the Relais Cooden Beach because the Food, Service and ambience are excellent with a good variety of menus. On our recent visit my wife had the Greek Salad menu with Chicken and she counted no less than 14 different salad items. It was delicious. I had the locally sourced Fish with Chips and peas, always the best in the area. The deserts are very varied and always of top quality. Well done Cooden Beach, the staff are very attentive but without being, overly so.

   Excellent roast as usual plus the new gravy today, delicious, together with the new stuffing and little sausage. Well done Chef. Still not happy with the red cabbage would prefer green instead. Keep up the great service George

    The food was exemplary. The service was polite and friendly. The value was good for the a la carte. I used to visit the cooden regularly. Since it has been taken over the new vibe is refreshing but they should still want to be customer facing as much as they were. The reception was difficult to find as it was just someone sitting around a corner on a stall doing paperwork ( school vibe ) a glam friendly welcome as you walk through the door would be a massive improvement. You should also very much consider removing the strong scent you have floating in your new foyer, it should be considering people that have medical issues and allergens as it gives off a very strong scent of mothballs. These 2 items could be easily accomplished and give you the overall 5 star customer experience.
