"We visited in early October for lunch. It was very quiet out of season, the service was very good and we didn't have to wait long for our food. I had a butternut squash risotto with feta cheese and pumpkin seeds. My husband had Jamaican mutton, with coconut rice, flat bread and mango and spring onion chutney. It was all delicious, we tried each others and liked them both very much. Service: Dine in"

"My family and I came here for my birthday. It was an excellent time with the service being exceptional. All the servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic, although the curried parsnip soup whilst delicious was perhaps on the under-spiced side. The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking and had a delicious deep flavour. The chocolate bread and butter pudding topped off the meal wonderfully. We did visit on a Thursday and so it was fairly empty as we sat upstairs but the decor of local art was delightful. I shall certainly be visiting again. Thank you for such a memorable experience. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"There's not much in the way of ambience here flatly lit with large windows looking out onto winter darkness so not a place for an intimate dinner. Some of our menu choices were good but the fish and chips were a big disappointment: grey probably pre frozen coley in a restaurant in a fishing village? The menu deliberately does not identify the fish... the chef needs to up his game in Aldeburgh."

"This wasn’t our first visit (the previous occasion was more positive than this) but this was really quite poor. Problem after problem, service was poor and just not very welcoming. Firstly, drinks weren’t available issues with draft, but then bottles weren’t available either. So there was a very limited selection of drinks on offer and the staff weren’t proactive in advising what was available. So it was request and receive a no! Secondly, the food was poor. The starters were shocking. Really quite bad. There was a bit of redemption from some of the mains, but we elected to not proceed with anything else as it wasn’t great. We had to wait ages for drinks and foods to arrive despite the fact that the restaurant was practically empty and many staff present. Frequently there were 3 staff at the back of the room standing about chatting, but they weren’t attentive to our needs. They didn’t check around the room to see if guests required additional drinks or require plates clearing. They didn’t check to see how the food was and when we complained regarding a starter they simply didn’t know how to handle it. When the draft beer came back on there was no proactive behaviour in returning to the table and letting us know so that more drinks could be ordered. Drinks were poured in wrong glasses, plates were cleared whilst people were still eating and then not cleared when they needed to be! Simply put the staff working had no idea on what table service should be perhaps they had received no training which is a major failing when the restaurant is part of a hotel. It was not welcoming. The restaurant was freezing cold. The service was really very poor and the food disappointing. They also don’t take dogs which in Aldeburgh is a bit weird. There is plenty of space and the tables are large so they would not be in the way. We won’t be returning."

"Went in on Monday the 21st of august at around 8pm with a party of 8. We all ordered everything was okay until my pizza came and i found a very sharp piece of plastic on top of my pizza it was like a piece of plastic cutlery had been snapped in half. It was around 3cm big and white so luckily when i went to eat the pizza i felt it hit my lip otherwise i could have easily have choked. Being 16 however i would have been advantaged of knowing that it shouldn’t have been there however if this plate was given to a child they wouldn’t have known and they probably would’ve swallowed it and choked because it was sharp and could have got lodged anywhere, its disgusting. I told the waitress and she looked at it and took my pizza away then brought me back another one. This pizza was burnt to a crisp underneath as it was rushed. Its not acceptable nothing was done either. No money refunded nothing taken off the bill not even an apology it was a disgrace. After all this we get the bill it comes with a £17 service charge after what had happened its not good enough. Would not recommend, can get a lot bigger portions elsewhere for your money."
