Read moreA truly underwhelming and costly evening. Really disappointed.
We had booked dinner for my family to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. Our table was out in the back corner which is under a conservatory and outside the main restaurant so you can actually hear the music and instead you have a view of the area where the waiters and waitresses ring up the bills and store the spare crockery. It was drafty and lacked atmosphere. Then I looked at the menu, £65 for 3 courses. I am vegetarian (which they knew in advance) and there was 1 main to choose from which was disappointing. I looked at the wine list - extortionate costs for some average bottles of wine. We only wanted wine by the glass and it appeared only two were available and they had run out of the cheaper one - surprise surprise. The food came and it was unimpressive. My vegetarian option was the standard beetroot and goats cheese - quite bland, not imaginative and it was small do I had to ask for more bread. The other starters arou d the table were ok. Then the main came, glad we ordered extra sides (for extra an charge of course) because the portions were disappointing again and the food was average in flavour. Then dessert - I had to prompt for the dessert menu as we had been sat for a while unattended and were now 2 hours into our meal and starting to get hungry from the lack of first two courses. 3 out of 5 of our party wanted the earl grey souflé, it looked great when they went out to the other tables. But of course, they had run out. So we had to choose between the 3 desserts on the menu. Again a huge disappointment. We didn't take any photos of the food because it wasn't worth it. I took some pictures at the end so you can maybe sense how disappointed I was with the whole thing. £450 and 2.5 hours we...

This is where breakfast is served every day, you can do a la carte or do the buffet, or both! Infinity of options to choose from, I think it’s by far the biggest selection I have ever seen on a breakfast buffet, not only great selection but amazing quality food!
We also hosted some friends for dinner at this same restaurant and the dinner was just outstanding, from the service, the selection of champagnes and wines, the food, everything was 10/10, we had such amazing evening with live music on the background. I didn’t take any photos of the evening as I didn’t find appropriate doing so in front of our guests, but they were also delighted by the whole experience.
The dress code is more casual for breakfast, but definitely dress up for lunch and dinner, such a beautiful and...
