We last minute decided to try Martha vineyard. It wasn't clear online that there was no disabled access, so if that's something you're looking for then this isn't the place for you. We had to squeeze past staff getting stuff out a chiller to be seated.
We pre booked and got sat right under the speakers with music playing, relying on hearing aids to hear, this wasn't ideal, we asked to be moved to one of the empty tables but they declined, this only became annoying when at least one table of two remained empty our entire visit. They did turn the music down slightly, but being under the speaker this didn't help me.
We were told that half the menu wasn't available so ordered based on what was left, we also ordered drinks. We got one and the other didn't turn up, when the food arrived we enquired to be told they didn't have the ingredients for the cocktail ordered!
The food was disappointing for the price, one meal should have had Portobello mushrooms, it was billed as a halloumi and Portobello mushroom burger, but, they didn't have any, they didn't offer to deduct a small percent despite it being a main ingredient of the meal, the lasagne I had was honestly, the worst lasagne I've eaten, a thin layer of meat with way too much cheese sauce, the chips were soggy and tasteless. Since we were hungry and no staff seemed interested in coming over we ate some of the food, eventually got the staff's attention and paid the bill and left.
We get again had to squeeze past people paying and a lady re-stocking the cooler.
In all I can't honestly recommend it as it was such a disappointing experience, if they are that short staffed or out of most their food and drinks they need to think about suspending online and over the phone bookings, or pre...
Read moreMe and my fiancé went here for our anniversary date night. We had a lovely meal, there was a few starters to choose from, mains and small selection of puddings and quite a few drinks (which I have attached) they ran our of prosecco so I couldn't have my chosen cocktail but I had a glass of wine instead they apologised many times for the prosecco situation and the fact they were super busy. So I highly recommend booking a table - can book online and ring up. I had Lasagne which was served with bread and salad. My fiance had a burger and chips which was presented nicely and said was tasty so more chips next time!
Lots of tables and chairs. Can also sit on the balcony outside which is covered by marquees/canopy type covering (don't know proper term haha)
We booked online which was quick and easy and I rang up about sitting near a window and they obliged to make me feel comfortable to focus on my partner rather than seeing everyone else. It does get busy so if you feel a bit nervous like me focus on someone you go with or go during the week as it was getting busier with people having drinks and meals. The atmosphere was ok big groups of people and music struggled to hear my partner opposite me but that's not the restaurants fault as we had a family of 12 on our side.
The entrance to the restaurant is up the stairs from the marina side bit strange access. May have to ring for lift access?! It's not very clear where you go in - you kind of walk into people eating straight away would have been nice to have a proper entrance but that's just my opinion.
Shout out to Jenny, Erin who served our food quickly and had a chat with us and Dan who I rang at the beginning...
I will return but maybe not...
Read moreStaff were friendly and accommodating. The seafood curry was delicious by all accounts. My Welsh lamb lasagne was tasty, albeit not particularly authentic. That being said it was nice and filling and after 5hrs of travelling down - much needed. Coleslaw wasn’t bad. Very creamy, lacking a piquant bite of cider vinegar etc. The chips served were really awful. They looked like they’d sat around for a long time and reheated. They have to be bad for not to eat them - especially when I’m really hungry!
I’d have passed all this feedback face to face, but no one service checked back throughout our meal, despite being passed several times by many staff. As a former waitress running an 40 seater hotel bar, restaurant, kitchen and reception on my own, there is no excuse for this basic requirement.
Overall, it’s a good place to keep on your back pocket for a last minute quick bite. I’d recommended booking the restaurant for a more peaceful meal. Children were screaming and running throughout the bar area, stamping inside and out, throughout our whole meal. I’d expect a bar to to bustling, but this wasn’t acceptable. From a safety aspect and to show courtesy to other customers, the staff should have intervened and asked the parents to control their children. Hot food and drinks are being served, outside balconies were wet and slippy, dogs inside the enclosed space were becoming agitated by the stamping.
I’d like to reiterate that the staff were welcoming, but overall, a lack lustre experience, which makes it all the more disappointing, due to the...
