Service was very slow which caused us some anxiety for getting to our show on time.
The fish cakes were overcooked, too hard.

We are here on a Saturday evening, family of 3 with a toddler. The place was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The staff were friendly but appeared to be overstretched.
Food was delicious although we had to ask if there was actually crab in the prawn and crab linguine. I was assured there was.
Service was good although a little slow. Food wasn’t overly hot when it arrived but it was ok.

Friendly waiters and good front of house.
We had three courses- some dishes were pretty good but others disappointing, a bit tasteless .
The manager did ask all was okay and fed back to the chef but it would make us rethink eating a three course there again.
The breakfast at the hotel was excellent however.

I found the low lighting (evident throughout the whole of the first floor)depressing you may be trying to create a particular mood but it did not work for me and I question how someone with a sight impairment would manage.
I was expecting a “restaurant “ menu and found your menu more pub style and therefore limiting especially as I do not go out to eat burgers and pizzas. Having chosen the chicken thighs as my best option was disappointed to be told the kitchen “had run out “ albeit 7pm and therefore not what I would call a late sitting and not particularly busy as there were only two other people in the restaurant,at this point I decided to give it up as a bad job I cancelled my order and decided to eat elsewhere.
On a plus note I found the staff polite and helpful.
