"this assessment is based on the overall experience. this evening, the seahorse visited for a very special occasion and had something different than something special. thinking back into the “Seahorse of old” was an experience in which one could feel, wanted and appreciated. we left last night the feeling as if it was now a special club we were not members. I used the feedback at the time of the “Style over Substance”, but in fairness the problems did not quite articulate, it is that I felt that just attention was paid to the wrong things, e.g., how dinge appear instead of taking care of the detail of what is actually, i.e. the above mentioned note. if I could score a few areas separately, this would change the star rating. for example, one of the waiter dec, had great knowledge and was beautiful, certainly a credit to the place, as well as the kitchen was on point. eating was fantastic. So, with that said why the three stars? I just don't know what this restaurant is trying to be? if listened to a request to dimme the lighter in the private escapade, the catina versus the seahorse (probably again for occurred) than pay attention to the detail of their actual customers. clear glasses away, replace cutlery in time, make sure that a cure is deleted before the next arrival. give them to all the tables the same focus, instead of leaving feeling certain that are important and others not. I miss the feeling that the seahorse had earlier, and that they had in opposition. I was underwhelmed last night. for me, a meal should always be a special occasion to enjoy an experience, no matter what. But the feeling from the left was not important and we did not."

"Having stopped in Bourton on the Water and thought I would grab something to eat to save sorting something out later that evening. Having a quick scan on Tripadvisor I thought I would give Smiths a try. Entering I was given a choice of table so opted for one by the window to watch the world go by! I ordered the Smiths Classic Burger, Truffle and Parmesan Fries and thought I would give the Limoncello Spritz a try. Some reviews on here say that there is a wait for the food to arrive and yes there is and to me that is a good thing. If you have to wait it means that the food you have ordered is cooked freshly for you. The burger was well cooked and flavoursome with just the right amount of extras inside to make it something easy to pick up and eat. The truffle and parmesan fries again were very flavoursome. The Limoncello Spritz has a bold claim on the menu in saying that they make Limoncello better than the Italians but to me personally Sorrento Limoncello is superior but Smiths Spritz is still very drinkable. Family run and friendly had a nice conversation with Seb about other places locally to visit and with mum (sorry I didn’t catch your name) about how they came to Bourton and the history of the tea room to burger restaurant change. Yes there is a service charge, yes the mention it when paying and ask if that is ok. To me yes that is fine. Visit other restaurants (not cafes or fast food) and you’ll find that they also charge a service charge. Maybe it should be printed on the menu, maybe it shouldn’t. Everyone has their own opinion. Would I go back again? Would I go with friends? The answer to both of these questions is……. Yes without a doubt!"
