"We had to cancel our major holiday so decided to stay in a couple of lovely hotels in the UK and booked this hotel but have been so disappointed, especially the food on offer. One our first night, we went in full of anticipation and very hungry after a six hour drive from the Wirral. The whole meal was the worst one we have ever eaten. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy but we had to wait a long while for the food to arrive. My asparagus and wild garlic soup was ghastly. It was vibrant green but was overpowered by the garlic and was watery , with no substance, so I sent it right back. I had requested the skate wing in advance as I overheard someone saying there was only one portion left. I wish I hadn’t bothered. It came with a huge pile on cold seaweed , :3 barely cooked halves of potatoes, no leeks and the few buttered shrimps were not buttered. This fish was grey and overcooked and after 2 mouthfuls, I sent it back. My husband’s ‘ torched’ mackerel was cold, overcooked and tasteless and the accompanying vegetables had no dressing at all. He ordered the pork which was a 4 cm round and had to saw through it as it was so tough. Also there were only a few drops of ‘jus’. The restaurant manager was very apologetic and said she would report it back. I went to bed hungry and unhappy. , which was a shame on our anniversary. The breakfast was ok but the sausages were well overcooked and tough and we specified soft fried eggs but they were solid. The adorable Kas apologised and promised soft ones next time. We played safe last night and ordered Theo chicken pies in advance but when they came , one was beef and the poor Manager couldn’t believe it but we ate them as they take 30 minutes to cook. They were very tasty but the gravy was a beef one.!! Surely it’s easy to prepare some chicken gravy. The desserts were nice. We spoke to several other guests who all said they were disappointed in the food. I did speak to James, who’ll is the Manager who told me he had read the report from the dining room. On leaving I was told there was a £5 supplement and £31 for the wine. I would definitely not eat there again. The nicest thing about the restaurant was Kas’s lovely smile and excellent service."

"We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. We were seated in the airy bar area and enjoyed reviewing the menu and wine list while sipping on a delicious gin and tonic. We were presented with a three-course menu as it was the festive season. The menu offered a good selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, although it was not extensive like the impressive wine list. The food was tastefully presented with reasonable portion sizes, some may find them small but they didn't leave us feeling bloated. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm nuts and bread with different spreads, including a delicious blue cheese spread which we enjoyed despite not being fans of blue cheese. We ordered tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and blackened halibut for starters, followed by cod and venison for mains, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we chose the soufflé, which was also perfectly cooked. We paired our meal with a rose from Provence and a pinot noir from the Loire Valley. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with well-spaced tables and live piano music. The service was attentive but not overbearing, even though the restaurant was busy. We ended the evening with tea, coffee, petit fours, and a nightcap. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we highly recommend this restaurant."

"We went out as an 8 with people who are used to dining both here and in the USA , we got an excellent table at the back so we could see the whole of the restaurant . The bar staff looked after us with quick service and an he remembered all the drinks including a difficult cocktail. As we were there on a Sunday we had a super choice of the full menu including Brunch and we were allowed to pick and choose as we saw fit . All of us enjoyed the food and when we wanted sometime extra it was never a prob;em for our dedicated staff member Sebastian . I thought it was good value for money , and the wine list provided a decent choice for every wallet. We loved it as always and cannot recommend it highly enough."

"Quilon has a lot going for it a Michelin star, great service, excellent food that allows its patrons to explore novel dishes that draw inspiration from coastal south Indian cuisine. However, the only reason I'm docking a star is that this place needs a bit of an overhaul. The ambience feels dated and is unimpressive, the attention to detail is lacking (our drab white dining table cloth had stains from a previous meal, there were fingerprint stains on the wall). Overall, it feels like the place is in serious need of renovations. Nonetheless, the team is doing an excellent job with the food and the service, and that is something I greatly appreciated. Would recommend visiting for the food!"

The food is as good as ever and the service charming and unobtrusive and I was pleased to see that they had added some really creative cocktails to their list. All in all, we had a lovely evening and I hope to return soon."

"Visited as a family of four for the first time and must say we were not disappointed. The food was excellent. of us had the course lunch menu which was extremely good value with no compromise on presentation or taste. My husband had the steak which he said was one of the best he’s ever had.The staff were very friendly and attentive. Very nice to chat with one of the chefs after our meal.The mocktails were also very good!We will be visiting again next time we are in town"

"Since the change in ownership, the restaurant has been undergoing a slow transformation. However, Alex, the young chef, remains and ensures that the quality of the food is still top-notch. I started with the gruyere tart and would definitely order it again. The confit de canard was delicious, though I believe it could have been cooked a bit longer for a more tender result. My wife experienced some toughness with her octopus, but still enjoyed the flavors. The service was friendly and we have been loyal customers for a while now, and will continue to be in the future."

"We were given this as a Christmas gift from sister. Very friendly staff greeting. Service very prompt. Food good,not as hot as it could be. Although described as a "traditional "roast it 's not, as the meats are not from a roasted joint. However, the meat , whatever method it was cooked was very good! Puddings delicious especially the ice-cream, which the waitress said was the chef 's own made!"

"we visited pepper during a short holiday break between christmas and new year. it was a quiet night to be a Wednesday, although there were a few larger groups celebrated birthdays and, although we had booked online, there were many tables to choose from. the menu contained some dishes that we had not met before. we had small but beautifully cooked and presented seafood stars. for the main course my partner chose the tandoori lammings that were plentiful and excellent. I had a royal dish that was just as delicious. there was a light mix with our order that was taken on a digital device, which led to us getting a few dishes that we had not requested! However, this was quickly sorted out, with excuses and a free supplement. a very nice meal in a beautiful restaurant."

"We had a wonderful New Year's Eve meal at this restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely, with a Peaky Blinders theme. The food was delicious - I had a chicken and chorizo burger with salad and chips, while my boyfriend had fish and chips. The only downside was that it took a bit long to order dessert because the staff was busy with large tables. When we finally got our dessert, we had a vanilla cheesecake which we enjoyed, and some profiteroles which were not as good because they lacked cream in the center. Despite this, we always enjoy dining here and will definitely be back."

"Mixed experience. Had a booking, restaurant still on a Monday afternoon, took 5 minutes for someone to come to us at the desk, and when she did she barely said hello, just looked at us with a scowl. After that sat at table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to eat over. Eventually got order in, waitress didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we actually got a drink. Not really acceptable in a quiet restaurant, that was closing in less than an hour closes early on a Monday. Food was good when it came, and different waitress by now, who was so much better. So a mixed bag. I know staff difficulties at present, but 10 minutes training in fundamentals would help. As would have someone in charge on the floor to ensure paying customers are being looked after. Poor management from what I saw. Pity, as some of the staff were great, others very poor. (Translated by Google) Mixed experience. He had a reservation, the restaurant was quiet Monday afternoon, it took 5 minutes for someone to come and see us at the counter and, when he did, he barely greeted us, he only looked at us with the frown. After that, I sat at the table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come. I finally got the order, the waitress didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we had a drink. It is really not acceptable in a quiet restaurant, which closed in less than an hour; it closes early on Mondays. The food was good when it came, and now the waitress was different, which was much better. Then a mix of things. I know the difficulties of the staff at present, but a 10-minute basic training would help. Just like having someone in charge on the floor to ensure that the paying customers are treated. Bad management for what I saw. Too bad, since some staff members were great, others very poor."

"The restaurant is set in a beautiful building and we had a window table overlooking the bay and the mountains beyond. So far so good. We had looked at the a la carte menu before we went and we were looking forward to our meal. Unfortunately it was a Sunday and they only serve the Sunday lunch menu all day on a Sunday. It did not say that on the Opentable menu listing. But that was okay we like a roast dinner. The starters of fishcake and ham hock terrine were fine without being noticeably good. We both ordered leg of lamb for the main course. This was where it fell down for us. The lamb was not very tasty, it was fatty and gristly. The vegetables were just mangetout and red cabbage with a few new potatoes and a couple of small roast potatoes. So, it wasn't terrible but in a decent restaurant, when only serving five main courses I at least expect the main course to be tasty and good quality meat. I would also hope for a third alternative vegetable, particularly when serving red cabbage and mangetout, not everyone's choice for an accompaniment for a roast dinner. We both left feeling a bit let down."

"We visited today, after previously visiting before, I have to say I was a little disappointed that the menu was majority fish especially with the starters Im not a big fish eater! There was very little option for non fish lovers as a starter except gazpacho soup. Before we even were seated we were kept waiting for 10 minutes to be sat down as a table was making 4 different payments in front of us. When we did eventually sit down the table was incredibly sticky, and despite being asked to be cleaned it needed a deeper clean than that. Food was fairly good, bit disappointed with the chicken burger and the roast the staff were helpful though. You could definitely tell they were short staffed."

"a nice stylish restaurant/bar. came with family to celebrate my son 18th birthday. the family loves the place as the decor was beautiful and it was very up market, stylish and modern. the menu was very simple and was not overly finished, which helped to eat during the choice. yes, the prices were high on some items, but when they visit a special place to special occasions like their son 18 pay their worth that little extra to quality at a beautiful place we did. eating and drinking was beautiful and beautifully presented, children enjoyed their eating and enjoyed his birthday desert. decor was very modern and the restaurant had a nightclub variety, although there was no dancing area. the customer service was great and the staff was friendly. the parking space was on the side of the restaurant so that free parking is available. a problem is the accounting system in which we wanted a table for 8 but the accounting system said that no tables were free, but actually there were areas that we could have accommodated instead of our table for 6. if my little one likes a place, it must be something special. I'm sure it'll be back."

"I booked in for a Bollywood night. There was 4 of us, 2 people are meat eaters and 2 people are vegans. When I booked online as suggested by a member of staff when I called, as if they couldn 't do it over the phone (all the bookings where hand written on a piece of paper when we got there, oh and the only thing that was noted is that i paid £20 deposit but not the fact that our table required vegan based menu) in the notes section online I specifically said we will require a vegan menu. When we were seated at the table the waiter didn 't give us a drinks menu or a set food menu for us to look at. When they served food I questioned about which one was a vegan option, the staff looked very confused they didn 't know what I was talking about. Asked to speak to a manager, the waiter didn 't even bother getting the manager so I had get up to find someone only to discover that the manager was not available as he was in the kitchen busy, im sure that he was completely unaware that there is a table that required a vegan option menu. A lovely female member of staff came out from the kitchen assuring me that there is vegan based menu, trust me there wasn 't. The starter was ok, but to have 2 potato dishes, cauliflower and lentils as a main with £40 ahead and no desert, for a restaurant its pretty appalling. The menu for meat eaters was ok, really not worth £40 ahead. Now we get to the service... poor doesn 't even describe it. Chef came across as having an attitude every time he attended the table. It did not feel very welcoming or accommodating towards our needs, and it came across as a bother. After the mains We were not even asked about deserts, I had to get up and ask if there is any deserts to come, 2 of us had a desert, which was ok, too frozen couldn 't even use a spoon but for vegan option all we got As a desert is coffee black, couldn 't even have milk as had no other milks available.£80 for a standard of vegan options we had was absolutely outrageous. Most waiters didn 't really understand if you asked them a simple question, all we got is I go and get someone but that someone never came. I never write reviews because opinions do vary, but after this meal I was extremely disappointed with the restaurant atmosphere, attitude and just simply not valuing their customer. There was only one lady that worked there behind the bar that actually was helpful and pleasant."

"absolutely deceitful. had the muddles starter and was blown away from the aromes in the sauce. after the Steak Special (two steaks and a bottle of wine for £34) everything was cooked to perfection. around it all from 2 for £10 cocktails, which were not only refreshing, but generously dimensioned. a solid 10/10, I recommend everyone, give this little hidden gem a shot and they will be amazed. simply one of the best restaurants in york, with very friendly staff."

"The food was great (had a very lovely afternoon tea) but unfortunately the service was poor; although polite when speaking to us the service staff pretty much ignored us once we had ordered our food. My friend and I wanted to order another hot drink but had to wait 45 minutes for someone to take our order (despite attempting to get someone’s attention several times) and then again when wanting to get the bill it took standing up and putting our coats on after another long time waiting (and asking several people) to actually get the bill. I want to blame it on how busy the restaurant was however we saw several tables around us come and go in the time we were there."

"Absolutely awful!. So my boss is going off on maternity leave and we decide to have lunch for 10 at Plateau on a £15 deal for 3 courses which sounded like good value. Our booking was at 1pm and we arrived to have a choice of 3 starters 2 of which were salad and 1 soup and 3 mains. We were told on arrival they had run out of steak despite our booking being at lunch time so I decided to have a salad as a main instead! the starter arrive and the salads were not looking fresh! Brown lettuce, over dressed euuggh, although I had the gazpaucho which was good, I decided to change my main to the fish! Service was awful we weren't offered any drinks and then finally asked for a wine...read more"

"I begrudge having to write this review, however I am appalled by the service (or lack of) from the red lion. I’ve tried to contact them several times and have been ignored, which is especially frustrating since the manger replied to a review a few days ago. We made a booking of 20+ for my partner’s birthday in June. Although the food was lovely, the service was not. Firstly, we were left waiting a while for the food even though it was preordered. Secondly, each person had to go to the bar to order drinks as staff did not take orders from the table even though it was on one tab. They were clearly understaffed on the night, considering the size of our party. Thirdly, there was an issue with the preorder of desserts and some people did not receive a dessert and were not informed until the rest of the group had theirs. The lady dealing with this was also quite rude and did not offer a resolution. Finally, there was a dispute about the bill and I’ve emailed the manager several times as some items cannot be attributed to anyone in the party but have not received a response. Emails were sent on 28/06, 03/07 and 15/07. It really is a shame as we’ve been here before and enjoyed the food, but it is safe to say that none of the party will be returning and the customer service received is unsatisfactory. Again, I would have been happy to resolve this but feel forced to write a review due to the lack of response."
