    Not as good as we expected. Service was amateurish. Wrong starter offered. Long wait for non-existent beer (no - they don’t serve Hophouse 13). Garlic butter brought when most of the steak had been eaten. And the food was warm, not hot. Disappointed.

    Super restaurant but the problem is in the plates It’s really good but please for the price you can put a little bit more For exemple the duck is for me the best plate to take The lamb on the contrary for the price you have nothing in the plate ! The welcome and the waitress are really kind ! Then I recommend the restaurant but not for all the plates a la carte

    Delicious food. Great, friendly service. Our waitress was very good. Kevin was particularly good and a young male waiter who is a student was very good.

    Food was great, but the service was abysmal. Only three tables dining with five staff serving. Could not get a drink or any other request for 20-30 minutes as they kept forgetting. They were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off, but no table could get service. It is almost like they had all started five minutes before we arrived. Worst service ever.

    Dear Ken Thank you for your recent visit to Gaslight and for your feedback, I do appreciate it. I am sorry that it was a poor experience for you and I understand your frustration given the experience you describe. It is inexcusable, our service should clearly have been better. There had been some newer members of the team on duty that night, who should have had more support from their experienced colleagues. I recognise that we must work harder on the support provided to our colleagues in Gaslight and we will work on our service delivery. Again, my sincere apologies. I am grateful for your generous comments on the quality of the food. Yours sincerely Patrick Murphy

    For such a posh hotel the food quality was only acceptable. My lamb tenderloin dish contained two thimble size pieces of meat - nicely prepared but not outstanding- and very poor value for what was cocktail party size. We waited 30 minutes for food to be served after ordering. The panna cotta starter was grainy and not appealing.

    Interesting menu, beautifully cooked and presented. Service excellent. Only downside was large noisy tour group. Didn’t stay for dessert because of this, but have no doubt would have been very good.

    We made the reservation for Gaslight but were seated in the Oyster Bar which was pretty but not what we expected. Service was very slow and food was mediocre at best. Save yourself the time and find somewhere else!
