"We tried the restaurant for our anniversary and weren’t disappointed. Despite some previous reviews that aren’t that great, we thought we’d try it and I can honestly say it was absolutely wonderful. The service is old school and excellent. We were extremely well looked after and we both thought the food was absolutely first class. It is a very old building and as such the decor and atmosphere is very ‘of its time’. It’s not modern and 21 century styled. It is sympathetic to its history which we loved. The gazpacho was delicious (no need for croutons and keep it really cold please) and the scallops, lamb and accompaniments were absolutely delicious. My husband had a fillet steak and he was very happy cooked rare as he likes it and tender and delicious. The pavlova could have been better (ice cream instead of cream and the meringue poss not homemade) but honestly for the money it was excellent value. We had a really wonderful evening and will definitely return. Please do give it a go."

"the winter gardens at the landmark hotel was beautiful! However the value of money is absolutely ridiculous! We went for breakfast and two extreamlly small main meals that came up to £106!! We didn’t even want to order the main meals, be we felt as though the lady who served us was very pushy when she came to take our order. She said ‘what else would you like’ and ‘they are very small’ hinting that we need to order more dishes. We said several times we only came for breakfast. We have very small appetites and when she came to give our food she said ‘I told you this wouldn’t be enough’ however we said back ‘were already full with the breakfast’. We found it overall so SO rude for her to make us feel in that position!! We spent hell of a lot for so little food!!! She was just externally really rude. I think she was Malaysian or Chinese not sure? But she was so disrespectful! All the other staff were amazing but her she made us feel worthless."
