Tender mussels steamed to perfection, served with crispy golden fries for a delightful taste of the sea.

"the waitress was helpless – not trained about what is on the menu, not attentive, brought us plates and best for us to put them themselves, with water, etc. eating was overcooked. airline foods taste better. the hostess was cheerful and friendly, but had a little difficulty to locate my reservation (later found out, open table reservations are written manually on a separate sheet paper). the view of the bridge in the night is fantastic, but this is the only good thing the restaurant has to offer. very sad."

"We’ve been coming to Lewennick for many years. It’s a special place for us somewhere we stayed after our wedding. We’ve waited 3 years to visit again after covid and were really looking forward to it, it just didn’t feel as welcoming as it used to. We booked well in advance and requested a window table, this hadn’t been arranged. The person serving us (potentially the manger) seemed quite off, not very warm and chatty left us feeling a little disappointed. After travelling all the way from London, we were sad that this was our first negative experience there in over 10 years. The food was lovely and you’ll never be able to fault those stunning views. Hoping for a warmer welcome next visit!"

"We ate in the sun room which is lovely! But the noise was overwhelming! As there were two large party’s As we are seniors are hearing is not quite as good as the youngsters so found it hard having chit chat between us ! Did ask when we arrived if there was a table in the other part of pub ! But no joy as they were all taken !"

"We revisited tonight as had a lovely meal last week!! It was like walking into a completely different pub. Service was beyond slow, and when provided with menus advised that they were sorry, but, there was a lack of items!! We ordered drinks first, 20mins and watched them sat on bar for 10 of those, in the end had to ask the young girl who was stood doing nothin, could we perhaps have them to drink, rather than just look at them. We then asked if we could order and she advised she wasn't doing the ordering so had to wait for the young man to arrive. When he did we checked about the lobster as was having our last meal of our holidays and he had previously advised what wasn't in the menu. Advised yes, they had this 20mins after ordering was advised that actually, they didn't have it and something similar they could offer was a monkfish...... (no words to that really). Left us with the menu again and just kept walking past us despite trying to get his attention so we could reorder the missing lobster meal. He just kept sodding about on his iPad thingy and ticking of the tables. During this time also, a gentlemen walked up to the bar to say he was extremely concerned about his groups meal as it was now over an hour since they ordered and no starters had even been served. He proceeded to cancel his starters as they were fed up with the ridiculous delay and lack of any service. With that, we echoed his sentiments and advised we were actually leaving as not prepared hand over our well earned money to an establishment who had got it completely wrong tonight and they weren't even busy. In fact I'd say they weren't even a quarter full. Menu is very expensive and although the food we ate last week was good, it wasn't fantastic. But the 3 ladies who served us were really lovely which was why we had decided to revisit tonight on our last night. Big mistake on our part and extremely disappointing for us as ruined our last evening."

"we are regular visitors of Manning’s. this special lunch was the worst. in the coming the bar appeared closed, but this was not a lighter, so dark and without an atmosphere. a very quiet lunch time with only 4 other tables booked. a completely changed dining room staff has made his job. the new head, daniel. was very good, but the service was not supported by eating. the salat with the appetizers did not seem fresh, proportions were small. although plentiful and tasty duck terrarine there were only 3 small finger size toast with it. the net again not up to the usual standard,rice was probably microwaved and the normally excellent steak-sizzler was just smashed in stylton. the restaurant is from a favorite to a maybe never again! what has changed, new administration, new cook, new property?"

"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."

"Very disappointed with one turkey dinner (lots of gristle) and bill did not deduct deposit I had paid previously -this should have been done automatically it was only because I checked that it came to light. Please get this sorted out. A bad mistake!"

"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."

"We succeeded in finding a wonderful restaurant in Belfast. Smaller place with superb service, great location, and skillfully prepared food. The duck cassoulet was the best dish of my entire life. Everything else we were served was delicious and satisfying. Do not leave your chance to eat here to luck. Make sure to have a reservation—the world is discovering just how special this place is!"

"The feeling was that the food was cooked without love, but it was eatable. Although the service needs some serious shaping up. At one point we hade to remind the waiter that we it was easier to try the wine he just corked up if we were to have wine glasses. The place has potential to be rather nice and cosy, but the management have some work to do."

"Had a delicious dinner with fabulous friends in the Hyndland Fox no doubt made all the more rosy by bottles and bottles of spot on house red.... late last year and have since been back for a brilliant brunch I 'd promise 'no more cheesy alliterations ', but that would be a lie . It 's such a lovely, bright space and on both occasions we found the staff to be absolute dolls. We dined on the Mezzanine both times... the overhead beams and charming interiors really are a triumph. What I 'm most proud of is coercing my brunch muching companions into taking photos of each of their dishes, to be put away for a momentous occasion... such as the drafting of this review. While they each hated me at the time, I hope you dear reader will love me for it. I had the Salt Beef Hash £6.95 which from the moment the words left my lips to place the order... I was having taste bud driven heart palpitations over. It was super tasty but the portion was quite small. And I honestly don 't think that was just my big bum talking I hope!? . I felt like my meal was over in fewer forkfuls while everyone else was eating on in blissful brunchy heaven. My pals had the Hot Smoked Salmon £7.95 and the Smoked Black Forest Ham £7.45 and my wonderful wife had the Cooked Brekky £8.95 . While part of me was delighted to see her savouring every mouthful, the less lovely and therefore much larger part of me secretly hoped she 'd offer to trade... She didn 't. All in all, love the Fox and we will be back! Just for my regular puppy loving intel unfortunately the venue does not accept dogs... only... err... foxes."

"It's a very nice restaurant with a casual gastro pub vibe. The food was delicious and good portion sizes. The service was quite slow and it was a little confusing who was supposed to be looking after our table. We had queries that seemed to bounce around the staff. A real shame as I think with better service this would have been a much higher rating. Despite this, the restaurant was clean, the food was good and the staff were friendly but a little distant."

"Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: £20–30 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 I had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant for dinner. The food was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5 out of 5. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff that made us feel welcome throughout our meal, also scoring a 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was pleasant, though I rated it a 4 as it could enhance the overall experience with a few small changes. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend this place!"

"I was disappointed to find that the hotel had no record of my booking for a birthday tea, and the service was lacking. The tablecloth was dirty, and the afternoon tea was not priced as stated on the website. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they seemed indifferent and I had to insist on speaking with a manager. I requested that the original price be honored, but this was not offered. The overall cleanliness of the hotel left much to be desired, and it appeared run-down, which might not have been so bothersome if the customer service had been better and if they had taken the time to make my mum's birthday a special occasion."

"What a delight! First time to this branch. I travel a lot and often have to dine solo which I don't mind. Some restaurants single you out but Côte Brasserie are very welcoming to all guests. Despite how busy they were on a Saturday evening, I was warmly greeted upon arriving, seated at a nice table and had excellent service throughout. Staff were attentive, yet left guests to dine in peace and enjoy their meal. I am a big fan of customer service. I have just come back from Japan where service is outstanding. I always find in the UK, we are one of the worse for service. However, Côte Brasserie is starting to make me have faith again. Well done! Great menu of French classics but there are other options too including steaks and salads. Hearty but good food. Calories and nutritional information are displayed on the menu which is helpful. I had the vegan Côte burger which came with frites. Freshly made, well presented and delicious. Messy to eat but so good. My Saturday treat! I actually felt shy when I fully cleaned up my plate but I was hungry and was looking forward to a burger. It delivered. I had a still water to drink so I was a bit healthy! Lovely branch with mainly indoor seating, plus a few tables outside. Lovely ambience and nice views too. They are busy given location so book a table. A lot of people were turned away or had to come back. Clean. Dessert looked good but I was stuffed. What Côte have also done well is not put up prices too much, especially in comparison to competitors. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend."

"After dining at this restaurant multiple times, I made a reservation for dinner with three friends and was extremely let down by the decline in quality. The cocktails lacked flavor, the wine was tasteless, and all the food was overly salty. The lemon sole was overcooked, the butter sauce tasted burnt instead of nutty. The aubergine main dish was small and lacked flavor, more suitable as a starter. The halloumi main was bland and the sole goujons were lukewarm at best. The dessert, rhubarb frangipane, tasted like a subpar Bakewell tart with minimal rhubarb, and the Balthazar coupe was overly sweet. At a price of £270, this meal was far too expensive for the subpar quality. I am unsure if there has been a change in management at this restaurant, but I was truly disappointed and embarrassed to have recommended it to my friends. I will not be returning or suggesting this restaurant to others in the future."

"A good overall experience. Staff were friendly and attentive. Given 1.5hrs from 4-5:30pm on a Wednesday walk-in. Apparently it picks up during dinner time so book ahead if possible. The knock off one star was due to the dry patty in the Cote Burger (seemed like it was just reheated, definitely not made to order). Everything else was good including the Crab Maison and Duck Salad starters. The calorie counts on the menu really make you think twice if you’re on a diet. An assortment of cocktails, wines and desserts are available. Might try another Cote branch. Prix Fixe menu is well priced and probably what I’ll order next time. Bon Appétit!"

"We had a very wonderful experience there. The staff was welcoming and nice. It wasn’t busy at the time since we had an early dinner so we really had a pleasant experience. The ambience was perfection! The food tasted really good but my daughter’s cheese pasta was quite bland. The french onion was so good. You dont have to go underground to use the toilet. I will definitely be coming back for more french food!"

"SO disappointing! When we arrived and said we had a table booked, the table was just pointed out to us. We sat down, but no one brought menus or took a drinks order. After at least 20 minutes one of our party queued at the bar, and when it was his turn to be served was told to sit down and someone would come over. Another 15 minutes went past, then my husband stopped a waitress and asked if we could order drinks. He was told very brusquely that someone would come soon. At this point we would have had our drinks if he'd been allowed to order at the bar, but no, another 15 minute wait. Another waitress spotted that we didn't have menus, so finally brought us some. We had booked a table for 6pm as we had young children with us, but it took so long to order food and drinks, we were there much later than planned. I chose sea bream and saute potatoes, but received sea bream and boiled new potatoes, and when I questioned it, someone eventually came back and said they were saute potatoes (like none I've ever seen or would want I left them). I know it was the time of year, but the place was taken over by huge Christmas parties, which was never mentioned when we booked. Our table was in the bar, so we were surrounded by people standing and drinking, and the noise level was unbearable. When I booked, I said it was for a special birthday, and my son even brought a table decoration with us, so it was obvious what we were celebrating, but no one said a thing about it or tried to make our experience special. We felt like an inconvenience, as obviously they only cared about the Christmas parties. Sadly, this is not my first visit to the Falcon Hotel, but it will be my last, especially as having eaten at another restaurant in Bude the night before where the food was superb and we were treated very well. I know where I will eat in the future."

"I went here with my husband for a Saturday lunch on a 5pm big deal. I can't fault the place, it was delicious and I was a bit greedy and went for a third course. I had a prawn starter still in the shells), sea bass for main and a lovely apple and blackberry crumble with custard for dessert. Sometimes I think when you are on a deal you don't get the same service as other customers but this was definitely not the case here. The service was great as was the standard and choice of food. It was not a special menu for the deal but was one that you can get just walking in with no booking, great choice. The deal included a classic cocktail, again good choice and was pleased with the quality of the cocktail. The restaurant was quite quiet but still had a good atmosphere, wouldn't put me off going back at the same time. We went in to the bar after lunch for another drink. I will definitely be back for food and would even just drop in for a drink. Some restaurants advertise as restaurant and bar , the bar being a few stools at at the bar or a couple of tables stuck in the corner. They actually have a separate bar which is very nice, high glass ceiling. If I was being picky I would say that we waited quite a while for our dessert plates to be cleared as the waitress appeared to be on a break and the bar staff covered. Not a big deal for me. The overall experience feels like something special , a bit of a treat without being stuffy, I look forward to returning."
