    The staff got our order wrong which they sent back and then we had to wait for it to come. Then when we questioned the bill as the wrong food was it the waiter argued with us until he was corrected by his staff which was really embarrassing

    We came for dinner as it was our anniversary. The setting is beautiful and the tables set out nicely. My husband chose the wine which was average. The food was nice however starters came out really quick which made us think they were pre made and not fresh plus the soup wasn’t particularly warm. Our main courses were also ok. My dish was lovely apart from my broccoli and chorizo undercooked. When I mentioned to the waiter he told us they had just changed the menu 2 weeks ago. They did bring new broccoli however by then I had finished. My husbands fish of the day was just a cheap white fish. I would have probably expected a little higher standard in a beautiful hotel like that however it was fine and we had good company which made our anniversary.

    The food in the Garden Restaurant was fresh, delicious and served beautifully . Menu had a good variety of choices. The seafood dishes were very nice and the slow cooked lamb was beautiful.
