"The setting of the restaurant was stunning, absolutely beautiful. However, the food was overall mediocre and at times lacking. My roast prawns were flavorless, as was the accompanying dipping sauce. The fish pie was also disappointing, lacking in seafood and only containing a few bits of fish. While my soufflé was tasty, it didn't quite impress me. Nothing stood out as amazing, just decent. The atmosphere on a Saturday night was rather lackluster, giving off the impression that the restaurant had lost its spark. I had high hopes for this place, but it felt more like dining in a tourist information center with nice views."

"Restaurant was apparently busier than usual' for a Sunday evening, but then as we had to book a table, the number of covers was presumably expected. Waiting time was significantly longer than we might have expected; first to place orders and then to get served....Waiting staff all pleasant. Food good plenty of meat on the half-chicken and well cooked. Good cup full of chips to go with it, though veg/salad a little meagre."

"First time trying out this little gem. The staff welcome we recieved when we arrived was very friendly, we were made to feel very welcome and had plenty of time to look through the huge choice of breakfast/brunch items... everything sounded appetising so took a while to choose.. I ended up chosing the club sandwich which was served with homemade coleslaw and a side of pringles, wow, on arrival it looked amazing so that was a good start, it was packed with filling and the bacon was of very good quality, it seemed like half a chicken was used too, no holding back on portion size, the homemade coleslaw was the best restaurant coleslaw I've had to date... My daughter chose the chicken, bacon barbecue panini which was also packed with filling, both of us had no room for anything else and left full to the brim.. we will definitely be returning to this one, don't tlet the price put you off at £11 for a club sandwich, you get what you pay for and this meal was well and truly worth it... thank me later"

"Food: I ordered a beef main course from the specials board which was well cooked and served with a delicious gravy. This was priced at £18.95 which I thought was expensive considering it is basic home cooked food. My friend ordered a chicken curry which looked and tasted very bland. Definetely a bad choice. Drinks: Tried two different white wines, both tasted nasty and extremely cheap. Couldn't finish this glass so I ordered a glass of red which was better but not cheap at around £9 a glass. My friend ordered a glass of rose wine from the menu. When it arrived it tasted like a very cheap zinfandel, which they also sell. Waitress insited it wasn't zinfandel but it clearly was ; Wine prices way too high for the quality being served. Décor: Very old fashioned, tired and depressing. I would suggest it needed a refit 20+ years ago. Chairs were also very uncomfortable and lighting harsh and uninviting. I wouldn't return for this reason alone. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1"

"Another visit to this little gem of a place for the second to last them night this year, and again the food is incredible. I'm told the theme night will continue next year from March with an Irish night, I would recommend for anyone to attend atlest one. They are truly unbelievable value,restaurant quality food and quite a decent price, I had Conwy Mussels for starter, good locally sourced ingredients, Welsh black beef short ribs in a red wine reduction, so tender they fell off the bone, and a trfle to follow and rounded off by a good old fashioned tequila sunrise.Get yourselves booked in people give these guys your support you won't regret it."
