   Our meal at the Eden restaurant at whitbarrow was really lovely, the food and service was excellent. Our only complaint would be that the full menu wasn't available & we had looked earlier & decided on starters, which none of were available due to only 1 chef. Other than that, it is a lovely restaurant & bar with spectacular views & the 2 young girls working were very pleasant & efficient. It was my partners birthday so we pre-booked & there was a 'happy birthday' message on our table on arrival, which was a nice little touch.

   Booked in advance. Rather lovely complimentary bottle of wine given. An offer due to a Monday booking and having booked in advance. It's our Silver Wedding anniversary and I did state this on the booking. Initially the Service was absolutely first class however the main course was a problem for me due to flies on the plate which appeared to come from the meal itself. This put me off however I was prepared to consider it may just be due to the Patio doors being open and planned to order a sweet. Unfortunately we sat for an extended period whilst the table next to us were offered served and ate a sweet. and were in the process of paying the bill. At that stage i asked the Waitress to clear our plates and she did so. Whilst the table next to us were paying the bill and chatting to the Waiter at length we were finally asked if we would like to see the desert menu. I replied that half an hour earlier we may of been interested however now we were not and asked for the bill. Unfortunately for them the deserts, coffee and additional drinks we would of purchased never materialised. Perhaps need to reconsider their customer service skills

   Server was very professional and cheerful. After waiting for an hour for our main course (both the same lamb dish) we were told the chef was not happy with the quality of the dish and would not be serving it to us. We chose again and one meal was acceptable, the other was very poor, a slab pie with uncooked, very thick pastry, gloopy filling, with little meat. The veg and gravy were nice enough. We had two different puddings and both were very nice. We were not charged for the poor main course and the server was most apologetic. We have visited this restaurant for around 10 years and never had an experience like this before. The food is usually fine and the service good. We understand it was a new chef on this occasion, but we were very surprised to have food like this from an experienced professional cook. Hopefully the management will be able to ensure the quality improves in future.
