"It was ok over all. The starters were superb, really good. The main courses were amazingly ordinary and disappointing. My steak was a medium rare fillet. It was accurately medium rare but strangely dry , almost as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp and it had very little flavour. I had a lemon meringue pie where meringue was wet and sloppy and the pastry was as if ready cooked from a supermarket. My companion had a slow cooked lamb shank which is usually an easy winner but again it was dry with a sauce which had been poured over it and then congealed. . A slow cooked lamb shank usually has the wonderful juices in which it has slowly come to fruition. The food came with minimal vegetables . Side dishes were ostentatiously expensive. As is the whole menu. We paid £180 for three people including the tip. Enough for a bargain weekend away somewhere. As a family we have dined in some amazing restaurants and understand the costs involved at times and pay willingly when the experience is special. But the whole way through this meal it was short of great. The waiters were friendly and attentive but far too eager to top up your wine glass. It became a nuisance and a pressure. Half a glass does not need topping up to the brim. To top things off for me I went to the ladies at 10.35 at the end of our meal . There is only one toilet for the whole restaurant. There was a cleaning person in the loo. spraying the most toxic and pungent fumes. Having entered this airless cubicle, two lungs full of Izal or what ever chemical obliterated all memory of the meal and the wine. At 10.35? The inference also being that I was not required on the premises any longer. The Maitr d' was charming and as friendly and helpful as he could be. 5 stars for him! The situation was lovely and we had a table by the window. However the experience did not in any measure add up to the lush advertisement online and was very very expensive at the price."

"I booked this restaurant as we were staying at Legoland for my son’s birthday. I had read reviews that the Legoland hotel was not worth the money. So after some research and looking at menus GOGOs seemed the place to go. I originally booked for 4:45pm 2 adults 2 children but called on the day and asked if we could arrive at 6pm, I was told it was no problem. We arrived at the restaurant for 5:45pm. it’s on a beautiful marina and backs on to a race course. Walking over to the restaurant there were people outside, part of a party blocking the pathway. We sat down and were asked what drinks we would like, and served our drinks. My husband felt uncomfortable in the restaurant as we had not dressed up as we had been at Legoland but the majority of people had made an effort there. around 20mins after the waitress came over and told us it would be an 1 hour wait for food! Due to the party outside of 100 guests. I asked if they could cook the children’s food first and she went to ask the manager. The manager returned and said that he can cook the children’s food first but we would have to wait for an hour maybe longer, I asked if they could just cook all of our food together as a family of 4 as we was out for our sons birthday. He said the party of a 100 asked for their food to be ready for 6pm. I explained that I had called to change the time and no one informed me of the large party and there would be a delay in food. The manager did apologise but this was not good enough. We decided to leave due to the wait and the drinks were on the house. Looking back on this now, I think my husband was right and they did not want our custom, maybe because of the way we was dressed and we was the only table with 2 young children! I am really disappointed. If you have children I wouldn’t book here, children have a choice of 2 things to eat on the menu. make sure you make an effort so you look like you can afford to eat there! More annoying the food looked lovely."
