"Went to vita Bella today night with the wife due to not visiting for a while and felt we needed a treat. As always upon arrival we were met by the parking attendant who showed us where to park. Once inside a warm welcome from staff and then given the choice of being seated in the main restaurant or sitting next to the garden room, wife chose the latter. Once seated menus supplied and drink order taken. Plenty to choose from so took us a while to pick what to have lots looked good. I started with the scallops which were perfectly cooked, I was able to cut them with my spoon that’s how spot on they were. Now on to mains, I went for the veal with spaghetti again this was lovely, the spaghetti was cooked perfectly, not under cooked nor over cooked, and the bolognese was lovely, great flavour you could taste the meat not a load of tomato sauce here. My wife had the pork belly as this is one of her favorites here she always enjoys it and tonight was no different. Again the side of vegetables that accompanied my wife’s main were perfectly cooked and tasted lovely I know as I had some (can’t not as they are always perfect in flavour). We both fitted in a dessert tonight, my wife had apple pie which she said was lovely, I went for Coffee semifreddo which I’ve never had before as I’m not a big fan of desert and can normally take it or leave it but tonight I liked the sound of this one, again this didn’t disappoint if you like coffee and chocolate this is a must it was heavenly. To finish off when it came to getting the bill we were offered a completely drink and mints which was a lovely end to a perfect meal out."

"very welcome to the arrival and shown in the small bar. sad to see that the evening menu does not include homemade cheese, brote and ice creams listed on the sample menu online. regardless of which there was still a large selection. started with lobster bisque delicious, but I would like to have offered a few crusty brot with it. serve my man had a lot more grief in it than mine, who had hardly anything. I thought it was probably overpriced. we had both the famous stacked fish “pee” for our main course and it was delicious. the scallops were some of the best I've ever eaten. it was served with parmenting potatoes and a sapphire salad. the salat was really very good, but not really working with the fish dish for me. the choice of mini desserts was good that we divided five and they were all beautiful. Coffee was also good, but I didn't know that the espresso would come into a pot and ordered a double as I usually. gallon coffee! the total bill was £165 including our drinks in the bar and a delicious bottle of wine I thought was about right. all employees were really nice, but a special mention to jeanette both for their wee recommendation and for their customer service skills. she created a situation with a few demanding people who sit close to us exceptionally well. most diners were in the mature group, including us! I'm not sure if I would take my 30-year-old daughter here, although she would love to eat that, it's a pretty old fashion place. we would definitely go back."

"This was our first visit to The Bay Tree. We were impressed by the ambience of the place. The food was amazing and worth the expense for the quality of the ingredients. However a few things spoiled the experience: 1. In common with other restaurants you haven't got your bottom on the seat before someone comes to take drinks. 2. Four out of Five of us had finished our starter before the 5th person got theirs. 3. Service was VERY slow, we don't like it to be too quick but this was painfully slow. 4. We tried to order a second bottle of wine and the waiter who brought the wine list never came back to take the order. 5. I object strongly to restaurants automatically including 10% service charge, I know this is voluntary but it is embarrassing to have to ask for it to be removed. I don't object to tipping, in fact there are times when my tip would have been greater than the service charge. If service was poor like tonight I don't want to pay for it. Service charge (or tipping) should be for GOOD service. Would I go again DEFINATELY but being prepared for a slow not quite perfect experience. Dietary restrictions: They were very obliging with our daughter who is on a Gluten Free diet. Parking: There is a free car park behind the buildings on the other side of the High Street but the entrance is round the corner on the right heading out of town with the Bay Tree on your left. There is however a very handy little alley way which leads from the car park almost directly opposite the restaurant."
