"I have eaten several times at signatures and it is always faultless. I was on Saturday afternoon with 4 girls who celebrated my next 70th birthday. eating was astonishing as usual. the waiter was very attentive and aware. I asked if the suppe had looked in him as I had a milchin tolerance, so I decided to start another (black pudding and it was a perfect choice). When the commands came in, he came back and told me that the kartoffeln had butter in them for the main I had chosen, I was satisfied (and impressed) with it realizing. the meal was perfect in every sight and I loved my beautiful miniature gift packed birthday cake she gave me at the end of the meal. it will stay on my upper place to eat"

"Due to the good reviews, we stayed and ate here. The rooms are spacious, cozy and clean. The pub area is very inviting and dogs allowed. The staff friendly. However, if you eat in the pub area, you have to pay more attention to drink requests. I had fried calamari with arugula and a very tasty chili dressing. The main course was the fillet, which was cooked solidly. Unfortunately, the breakfast wasn't good and could only be improved with scrambled eggs. There was bread and jam. Coffee from the French press. I returned some slices of bread with mold on them. When I wanted to take a croissant I was asked if I wanted to wait for a fresh one. When the toilets were cleaned during our breakfast with the door open and a corresponding smell, we asked them to be closed. Conclusion: You have a nice little gem there and you're a great team, but the breakfast can definitely be improved."

"After staying at the bridge in March and deciding it is my favourite hotel I was looking forward to my visit again this weekend and also a hint of trepidation as sometimes consistency isn't always there at hotels but I didn't have to worry. It's still my favourite hotel! great service, great attention to detail. The steak menu was excellent, the steak so full of flavour a great three course dinner good value. I was impressed by the barman who suggested the rhubarb gin when I went into dither mode and suggested a ginger ale with it it was a revelation! Thank you. Breakfast was it's usual glorious breakfast, lots of choice fresh and yummy served by informal friendly staff. Just love the old bridge thank you"

"Firstly I’ll start by saying the food was really delicious, both dinner and breakfast! However the service…I don’t even know where to start! We were seated at 7:30 it took maybe 20 minutes for a waitress to even come to us to check if we wanted a drink and take our order (I had to wave her down may I add) Anyway the starter came 20 minutes later which is fine, following on from this…quite a long time later a waitress bought us the wrong meal. She told us she would go and check but never came back to us to let us know what had happened. So much time had passed and not one sign of a waitress with our food or asking if we wanted another drink. So I went to try and find someone not one waitress was present in the entire restaurant! So I went out to the bar and asked that lady to see what was happening. Shortly after our meals appeared. At this point it was nearly 9pm. Like I said, the food was delicious! We finished our meal and once again…not one waitress to be found! By this point it was maybe 9:40! So went to find the same lady at the bar again who sent someone out right away! But by the time we were eating that it was basically 10pm which is totally unacceptable considering we were sat at 7:30! We complained to the manager who was very apologetic and we didn’t have to pay for drinks or supplements for the meal! To add to this, there was dirty plates left for our entire meal service on the table next door, encouraging flies etc, it just wasn’t what you’d expect from an upmarket restaurant! I thought breakfast the next morning would be better service wise…it was not! Again left without waitresses for ages! They didn’t bring our toast, offer any sauces! The restaurant food itself is wonderful but the staff need some EXTRME training on customer service!!"

"I have yet to dine in but I regularly order a take away. My favourite is mussels in tomato as a starter and sea food pizza as a main. I have travelled Italy on 2 ocassions but have never enjoyed food as much as this....Usually it has all parts of a fresh squid not just frozen squid rings like many restaurants. Tonight it included scallops. Unbelievably good. I have my 60th birthday in January and I intend to invite all my family to this restaurant as I cannot think of anywhere better. My thanks to the chef once again. I can wholheartedly recommend this establishment. +"

"We stumbled across Francine’s after not booking into another venue as they were fully booked, so we decided to try Francine’s and my goodness are we glad we did! The food was truly incredible, every mouthful delivered a punch of flavour. The food all cooked freshly to order and you can see the effort put into each dish including its presentation. Located just off the Main Street being a fairly small venue you might walk past and not realise it being there but we are glad we did! A lovely venue and attentive and friendly staff. Recommend Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Seafood Casserole, Scallops, Creme Brulee, Canapés"

"One of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The moules marinerre had me scraping the bowl for the last of the broth/sauce, both it and the bisque were so warming and comforting with the bread making a perfectly buttery accompaniment for dipping/mopping. Ideal for a cold winters evening. The skate in lobster butter for main was unbelievable, the skate was as moist and delicate as the sauce was decadent (not to mention it being a very generous portion). Even the desserts were delicious, in particular the sorbet which was lovely and refreshing after such a hearty starter and main. These are the meals you dream of when going to a seaside town. Everything was cooked to perfection, lovely staff and ambience. I can't praise this place enough."

"This review and experience is written off the back of another visit with other family members last year. Both have now been underwhelming. Given the current challenges for the hospitality sector you like to give places a second chance, but sadly customer service fell over big time and when combined with last years experience I will not be spending my hard earned cash here again. When you have a lunchtime time offer and members of a large family group are obviously ordering with that in mind; if you have the same meals on the menu not within the offer it is clearly the duty of the staff to seek clarification and ask what option is being utilised! If I had not been at a family event I would have strongly argued the point with the manager, but sadly I did not want to spoil the atmosphere. If the manager argues differently in response to this review he/she will just be proving my point! The food is very average and although I am sure all staff are trying hard and others may have better experiences, I will not be giving the Three Horse Shoes a third opportunity to get it right."

"This is a very mixed review. The food at Rabia 's is excellent and we 've dined there before. But we will never go again. The payment and leaving processes at the end of the evening was ugly and unacceptable. It turned what had been a lovely dining experience into a poor one, one that I will long remember, but not at all in a good way. First, I noticed a significant difference between the itemized bill they gave us at the end of the meal and the credit card voucher that they process. There was no explanation, but when I asked (after waiting several minutes to get the server to come over, even though there were few customers at the time), I was told it was a 4% 'credit card fee. ' I 've never had this at another restaurant and it was not stated either on their website or even on the credit card voucher. Second, and even more costly, when we got to our car at the Haymarket (Parcel 7) Garage, they said our parking slip was NOT validated, even though staff of Rabia 's had told us twice that it was. I tried to call the restaurant that we 'd only left 10 minutes before and just got put into their voicemail. Again, they were not at all crowded. When I talked to the manager the next day, she denied any responsibility for anything. Her attitude was an immediate 'not my problem, ' to everything we discussed. Too bad. A restaurant with such an unwelcoming attitude will not last long."

"We had a fabulous meal here yesterday evening for my husband's birthday, with our two children. The food was great, found it difficult to choose what to eat, as such a lovely menu- the scallops were amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and particularly accommodating as my son has a severe nut allergy. Will definitely book again when we are next down in Cornwall."

"badly started when the menus we were given no similarity to what published on their website as an example menu that traveled 200 miles to be there was what we posted our booking on! what we ordered and arrived...was also very bad in terms of the total proportions of sizes, quality of food and its presentation, which was obviously not the one of the right cooks. service was bad, we had to pour both our water and wine, no brot or bun at all, but especially with suppe and crabs. all small portions and genrally not enough food. we also saw other diners in the restaurant as impressing with their appetizers and meal after that we gave up and decided not to throw more good money after bad deserts and coffees, instead of driving to the local kfc to eat something. we noticed how disappointed we were with the owners on the way, but there were answers very well tried. will not have been coming back or going back there"

"The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is great, the food is uninspired, “upscale home-style cuisine”, and the wines by the glass are pleasing. Rents in particular are likely to be reflected in the prices"

"The setting was lovely, except there was a slight unpleasant aroma coming from the air conditioning unit, but the staff rectified this as soon as they were told.My wife had the 7 course tasting menu. Every dish was beautifully presented and lovely.I unfortunately became ill, absolutely nothing to do with the food. But can I say the staff were exceptional in making sure I was OK, had enough water and any other way they could make me comfortable during the meal. I had to stop eating, which was really upsetting as it was our anniversary, but I wanted to stay so my wife could complete the meal, which I had planned months in advance.The sommelier was so friendly and helpful in picking what was a lovely wine to pair with our meal.100% I will revisit and have another beautiful meal."

"It has been a while since we last visited this restaurant, but on a whim, we decided to go for a pizza each. However, we ended up opting for a full meal instead. I ordered prawns with smoked salmon as a starter, while my husband had pate - both were delicious. For our main courses, I had fillet steak with dolcelatte sauce and my husband had chicken with asparagus and creamy sauce; both dishes were accompanied by the freshest vegetables. My steak was cooked perfectly. The desserts were also delightful, and we ended the meal with the best espresso I have ever tasted. The staff were friendly and efficient, making it the best dining experience we have had in a while. We definitely won't wait so long to come back again."

"So, after many many recommendations we arranged a meal here with friends who had visited a couple of times before. Requested a table in the conservatory which has just been rebuilt, they had a table ready in the main restaurant, but did move it for us, as there was only two other tables in use. I made the mistake of viewing the sample menu on their website before going, their actual menu is nothing like it. Few choices and nothing outstanding on show. I asked if they had any Oysters, and was told of course not, no one would keep Oysters just in case as they would go off ! Had Mussels to start, very nice too. Had Swordfish for main, very average. Surroundings are in progress as expected , staff are competent if a little perfunctory, food is distinctly average. Won 't rush back."

"Compared with many other reviews of this Coffee Shop we must have been unlucky. Although it is many months since visiting, our visit does stick in our memory. We were looking for somewhere for a lunchtime snack and this Coffee Shop appeared to be the only option. The staff were outside and there were no other customers. The inside of the cafe was very basic. One of our party required dairy free items. Coffee with dairy free milk was available, but dairy free food snacks were very limited, and the assessment of what was dairy free was unfortunately not very convincing. Nevertheless we purchased some snacks and sat inside, whilst the staff continued their conversation outside. Overall an experience that is remembered for the wrong reasons."

"A wonderful restaurant with amazing atmosphere and fantastic food. We loved it so much we booked our Silver Wedding Anniversary Party and we wasn't disappointed . We had the best time, and so did our guest's. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was , and Tanya and her team could not have been more attentive. I would highly recommend , It was First Class !"

"Been here this evening and cannot rate this place high enough. Every course was perfectly cooked and presented and the service was second to none. I can't wait to go back. I started with grilled oysters then onto cod cheeks with hollandaise, next I had monkfish then finished off with mango and apricot Panna cotta. Totally scrumptious! Meal type: Dinner"

"Great meal in a quirky and atmospheric setting. Highly recommended. My wife and I went for lunch today (Saturday). I had 2 oysters to start, delicious and served with green Tabasco which is unusual. For mains I had bouillabaisse which was packed with a variety of seafood and had a good hit of chilli, really lovely. My wife had the whole lobster from the specials, decent price at £40 and she was more than happy! Service was friendly and efficient despite it being very busy and them being 2 members down. Will definitely go again!"

"This is definitely Bangor’s best kept secret!! Visited here on a recent Saturday evening, they seem to be operating two sitting so we chose the earlier one at 1745. We were first to arrive and shown straight to our table by an extremely pleasant waitress. We were given breads and she opened our BYO wine. The menu is fantastic, well laid out with an emphasis on fresh fish. Despite this I opted for chicken liver pate followed by a delightful sirloin steak. The food was absolutely faultless, the staff were fantastic and the prices were unbeatable for the quality of food. The set menu offers 2 courses for a mere £25. I have visited other fine dining restaurants in the Bangor area and this one is head and shoulders above them in terms of price and atmosphere. I was on the fence at actually submitting this review as I would like this place to remain a bit of a locals secret but if you are in the area definitely give it a try. You will not be disappointed!"
