   Went for the Pri Fix menu. Very impressed. Service , ambience and food was really good. Definitely worth a visit. We will return when next in the area.

   My partner and I come here every year for anniversary and usually the food is amazing. However this time it was nothing special for example the sauce that came with the chicken was cold,poached pair had a thick layer of sugar which had been burnt too much . But the service was outstanding as usual .

   Appalling food and value , 5 frozen Thai prawns as starter with two stale croutons. Steak was nice but 5 baby potatoes with little slits in them are not hassleback potatoes. Fish main tiny and tasteless Drinks took forever to arrive Had a bad feeling when we walked in as its hotel restaurant and that very rarely works well. Being honest a decent chef in Training could have written the menu nothing of any note or creativity on it. Suppose Jean Christophe is only there for the money however if he can stand over that food franchise or not he should be ashamed !!! No manager on duty no one in charge, Had to ask twice for main course. Would not recommend.

   We made a booking online and requested a table by the window and away from kids - thank you, this was taken into consideration. We ordered a medium rare steak and a risotto. The steak was served completely rare and we had to send it back. The other steak was good however because it was the second one and cooked in a hurry, it was not rested well enough. The waitress did not bring any cutlery with the steak so we had to wait for a few minutes. The risotto was good, perhaps a bit too much seasoning was added. Overall the visit was just OK.

   Table and chairs were dirty. Hummus had the consistency of and tasted like congealed gravy. Our first waiter forgot we were there. The other waiter who took over was friendly. The candle was taken from our table whilst we were still eating in preparation for breakfast. Predictable mushroom risotto for plant based diners. I ordered the roasted cauliflower and asked for it without the duck egg. I make better myself. The rest of the food was okay but not great. We definitely wouldn't eat here again.

   The service was fantastic and the quality of the food was excellent. The surprise dessert for my son’s birthday was an unexpected surprise. A little pricey but a very enjoyable night.

   We form an opinion of a restaurant by looking through the window or if possible a photo online .Has it got comfortable seating (not a hard wooden type seats) and here has it with a nice space between tables with white napkins provided also Christmes crackers too ,no glass breaking racket of loud music ,yes moderate background music which certainly isnt intrusive. Normal comfortable temperature. Very pleasant helpful courteous staff. Menu,could have a little more choice. This is a modern restaurant without fuss and last but not least washrooms as they should be ,pristene.
