"Disappointing- would not return! I ordered the Tuna Mayo baguette; I was dining with my parents at the same table, same order but paid separately, it was £8. We were served by a young girl with long red hair; she gave us three tap waters, our knives forks and some sauces, all loaded onto a tray and even though everyone else had theirs brought to the table, I was left to carry mine. The tables were also dirty and the staff (even when asked) only clean the patch you’re sitting at, they had to be prompted to clean the whole table. My order came much later than my parents food, they had finished by time it did and I watched the couple behind me in the queue get their food first. I had to go to the bar to prompt them that my food was late and when it did finally turn up my portion of chips coleslaw was much smaller than everyone else’s which I pointed out to same girl that served us and was given a feeble excuse then she quickly disappeared. No apology for my food being late, small portion when it did turn up (the photo makes it look better than it was) and pretty poor service from the girl that served me who was part of a very young, inexperienced team."

We had a fantastic birthday dinner for our daughter. Our first visit to the restaurant was thoroughly enjoyable and the food was delicious.

What an incredible place to spend an afternoon and evening. Apart from the perfect view, eating and drinking was very expensive and staff very attentive. I'm coming back!

Better now, as the place had a makeover and improved its hygiene score from 1 star to 4. The attentive staff and the food are good. Not cheap, but not instantly. Fab location.

I can't comment on the food which is served here as I've never had the pleasure of dining here however, I went to grab a coffee on a cold winters day from this restaurant as was gobsmacked at the price of a coffee, the worst thing is that it was a hot drinks machine you would expect to see next to vending machines.

Dirty and not well presented table. Service appalling with inexperienced young staff who had little or no information about the menu. We booked for 7.45 pm on a Saturday and apparently the Chef went home at 9 pm and we were still waiting for our desserts ! There was a wedding reception at the same time....the staff looked tired, lacked enthusiasm and motivation. Seriously poor !

The solo travelers can wait ages to be served. Staff seem to assume partner will join shortly and to then come to enquire if you wish to order. Person seating a solo travelers/ dinners should remove spare place settings or at least side plates, cups or glasses) to signal solo customer. Seem to do it well overseas but UK still lagging behind in hospitality excellence. After long wait my medium steak was over well done and they had run out of my choice of dessert! Near closing time so decided not work bothering further! 'Corner cafe ' standards not as they would aspire to be. Lovely location. Try again

Long wait between courses waiter thought guinea fowl was a fish course and when this arrived 45 minutes later it was cold now waiting for dessert, it's only been 15 minutes and waiting ...........and then when it arrived it wasn't creme englaise it was powdered custard the crumble was so sweet it was sickly! I certainly wouldn't bother eating here again and I don't think the waiting staff were bothered as no one asked if our meals were ok. When paying the bar person he was surprised we were not happy. The only tip I would give them would be look after your customers better and get organised in the kitchen!

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was possibly the best we have ever eaten, and Matt, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable evening. The cocktails he made had a unique twist, and he even offered to make us a custom cocktail that wasn't on the menu. Our waitress, Bella, was friendly and professional, and did a great job looking after us. Special mention goes to the young and incredibly talented Josh who made delicious Focaccia and starters. We wouldn't be surprised to see him on Master Chef in the future. Overall, this was more than just a meal out - it was a truly enjoyable dining experience that we highly recommend. If yo...

"From the off, everything was bang on point. The warmth of the welcome, being taken straight to our table and offered water and an aperitif promptly. We, a party of three, opted for the set lunch, which offers very good value for money. £29.50 for two courses, £35 for three, with two options for each course. Two of us opted for the baked Roscoff onion with pearl barley. Simple ingredients but beautifully cooked with a truly sublime brown onion sauce of such intensity, it lifted an already lovely plate of food to another level. The other person had the ponzu cured mackerel which she pronounced lovely but she had serious food envy over the onion dish. The main courses were grilled hake, which again was sauced to perfection and a grilled bavette with a vegetable medley and a pea? puree and a meat jus. We added a small dish of dauphinois at £5 which complimented everything very well. We drank a good and reasonably priced Rioja Blanco. No room for dessert sadly. This restaurant is not cheap but there is a difference between cost and value and The Elephant offers very good value with the set lunch; it allows you to sample really very good cooking at a price that will not break the bank. The normal a la carte menu is around double the price but on looking at what this offered, I would say that it again offers good value for money, being a step up in choice with more expensive ingredients. This is a serious restaurant. Go there. You will not be disappointed."
