    We went to the special offer lunch. The servers were friendly and attentive. However even at the special rate a piece of colourful veg on our plates and less French fries would have been welcomed. There was a slight error with our meal but they more than made up for it. All in all we had really enjoyable lunch experience and would certainly return. The views are spectacular.

    Very bright could do with dimming it a bit & then the lovely table lighting would be useful. The decorations in the room are lovely.

    Very disappointed, festive menu still on but no turkey available, I asked for an alternative for daughter in law as she doesn’t like fish but nothing available. Sprouts on every dish, obviously left over from Xmas, very strange to have sprouts with cod loin. Rib eye steak very chewy and when mentioned waiter not really bothered.
    Sundancer Bar & RestaurantResponded on January 7, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear your visit didn’t meet expectations. As it was the last week of our festive menu, some items, like the turkey, may have been unavailable, and I understand how this could have been disappointing. We aim to offer variety, and I regret we couldn’t provide a suitable alternative for your daughter-in-law. Your comments about the sprouts and the quality of the rib-eye steak have been noted, and we’ll review these with the kitchen team to ensure better consistency. I also appreciate your feedback regarding the service and will address this with our team to ensure guests feel their concerns are acknowledged and addressed. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we’ll use your feedback to improve going forward. Best regards, Bill
