"Went for a drive Father's day and ended up having a meal here, we rang and luckily got a table for 7pm. On entry to the Celtic Arms it was a high walled gated area with absolutely beautiful gardens which went on for some considerable area, it is a golf club as well and a beautiful golf course with golf buggies opposite the restaurant. Opposite the golf buggies their is a play area that as I recall was fenced off but attached to the restaurant as its also a bar. On arrival to the resteraunt the manager was extremely warm and welcoming and escorted us to a table just outside of the restaurant. During the time we where in the Celtic Arms I observed the waitress in the restaurant constantly clean and spraying the tables which was absolutely so reassuring since the last covid people have relaxed a bit to much. A young lady who was equally as welcoming came and as us for our order, it was a set three course meal at £23.99 which we felt was really reasonable for such a lovely place. Halfway through our time in the Celtic Arms the young lady went home from her shift that had intially taken our order and I pressume we then passed to another waitress. I felt we where out of the eye of the bar but not in the restaurant so got a little forgotten about, although once we called a member of staff to remove our plates these where remove immediately. The starters where delicious with plenty of prawns on the prawn cocktail and the pate had an amazing homemade chutney. The mains where lamb and beef with the whole meal being cooked to perfection and hot with vegetables cooked just right. A lovely touch we felt was the lady out of the restaurant came and asked us if everything was to our liking and was there anything of the meal we would like a little extra off, I dare say you won't get a ton of potatoes or veg but the gesture was very touching and to be honest the meal size was ample. The desert white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake we shared and both agreed it was delicious, and we then shared a cheeseboard which I had got on the three course set menu. The delicious chutney again appeared with varies cheeses, crackers and grapes. Our compliments where left with the manager and the staff with our thanks for serving and delivering multiple resteraunts can not quite achieve. Well done Celtic arms for your polite, professional manner and serving a delicious good quality meal which was ample portioned, reasonably priced in an excellent environment. Would definitely recommend this place it's beautiful and wins hands down on the last 20 plus places we have been over the last few months. We will most definitely be going back again."

"Highly recommend The Ship. My Husband and I haven't been to the restaurant in awhile and we were happy we tried it again. We dined at the restaurant after attending a wake on Tuesday night and were shocked at the inexpensive prices for dinner for 2 it included a bottle of wine, salad, entrée and dessert all for $40.00. More importantly, the food was very good and we plan to dine there in the future."

"while we visited the highland, we went a few times to the savoury – eating was excellent, the environment was beautifully relaxing, and the staff was incredibly hospitable. on a last visit, however, we were served by a sturn, whose style was “rustic” – swinging narrative and generally persistent I didn’t think until – while they paid for the bill – they insisted “where are you?” (as we go again) we told her that we were visiting london: “No, I mean, “Yes, you, whatever,” they are asking me. with an incredible amount of vote, she continued to count the new years of other cultures – so embarrassing that we were standing on the hunt, talking and walking fast."

"The restaurant was relatively quite for lunchtime. As a result there were just a few staff on duty. Our waitress, Libby, was really attentive and took our orders accurately and then served them within a reasonable time. The food was hot and well cooked. I can really recommend visiting this restaurant especially if Libby serves you!"

"My granddad's favourite meal from Chenzos is no longer on the menu--a tagliatelle with Chenzo's sauce. When he was dying last year, we phoned in and asked if he could make some of this dish for us to take away. He did it every day we asked, and always with a smile. Granddad's appetite dried up in his final months, but he would always go for a Chenzos : And I got to enjoy some of the pizza too, which is superb! I was visiting my nana today and we helped ourselves to another Chenzos today--and once again, he made the tagliatelle for my nana. I doubt they know how much it meant to my grandparents during granddad's illness that he kept taking the time to make this comfort dish, but it meant loads and loads and I apprecioate it greatly. Thank you!!"

"Worst dining experience ever Where do I begin... there were so many issues!! My sister travelled down as I wanted to take her out for her birthday and saw there was a good overall rating so chose this place. Biggest mistake ever!!! We arrived, there was no acknowledgement, just stared at by the barman and people at the bar; had to say we had arrived for a meal and I had just called about it. Were taken upstairs, although they could see we had a baby had to ask for a high chair. Chair arrived wet and still dirty but this happens at other places so I cleaned it again. Then he came to take our drinks order and there was no drinks menu and he didn 't know what all of them were and couldn 't describe them properly. The 'fizzy ' drinks were flat and one of them was tasteless. Asked for straws. None available. Ordered our food. The barman runs upstairs after a few minutes to say the chef has burnt 2 lots of the pork so only one left. The other starters didnt appeal so he said he 'd give a garlic bread for free. After waiting ages, it all finally arrives. There was only one other table at this point and it was before 6p.m. The pork belly bites are still a bit burnt but covered up with bbq sauce, the tomato soup is raw and bland, and the garlic bread is passable. My 18 month old is starving by now so eats most of the garlic bread. I had already asked for them to bring her food out first and they didn’t. Mains arrive after another long wait. Fish fingers are hand made ones but completely burnt and the fish is completely dry inside them, hunters chicken bland, pasta passable, sizzling chicken is soggy chicken with raw garlic and a ridiculous amount of chilli in it... and I eat alot of spicy food. By now were all so hungry so we ate it but I sent my babys food back as it was not edible. The chef agrees its burnt and blames the breadcrumbs and ask if they can make it with batter instead and I say thats fine. After we finish were left for another 35 minutes waiting ignored by other waiting staff so I go downstairs to see where our waiter is. No sign of him, I then ask for the dessert thats part of the childrens meal we were told about earlier and everyone denies it comes with one and they dont know what I 'm talking about! My sister really wanted to treat herself to a dessert but with their behaviour we decided we just wanted the bill and to leave. Only one person apologised who was the other waiter who agreed we had not had good service. I give feedback as per above regarding our experience and they call the owner over. I tell him how disappointed I am about the evening as per everything I 've detailed above, I ask why we were given the wrong information about the childrens meals. He gives a watery excuse about 'transitioning staff '. I tell him then the responsibility is with him to train them. He denies the food was bad and says they 've never had a bad review like this. I then find out on reading details of other reviews later that he 's just plain lying). I tell him that instead of being defensive he should apologise and he says 'I 'm sorry if you feel disappointed but we know how good we are and pride ourselves on this '. At which point, I let him know that he was unprofessional and that was not an apology by any means! I also told him, the only professional person was the waiter who wasn 't taking care of us that actually apologised as he realised we had been treated badly. I also reminded him that the chef admitted had burnt the food. I then tell him I don 't want to hear any excuses, I just want to pay my bill and leave this nightmare of a place. I think they thought I wouldn 't be able to pay it??? And was angling for free food??? Ridiculous. That was the point when he apologised properly. They took the drinks off the bill and 2 pounds off the 'childrens meal deal '. My advice since you dont know what you might get on the day in terms of professionalism, food quality and hygiene... AVOID THIS PLACE!!!"

"I’ve been here before and been given the old waffle about them liking tips in cash but now they actually print on the bill “service charge not included. Gratuities cannot be left on credit or debit cards as 100% of tips are shared between staff” I eat out a lot at all types of restaurant I’ve literally never ever had a bill like this with this wording insisting on cash tips Since covid I just don’t carry cash and I would imagine many people do the same All other restaurants I have been to without exception either add a service charge or allow a tip/gratuity to be added to the bill and in both cases the total bill can be paid for by credit or debit card These restaurants all then split the tip/gratuity between the staff by including their share in their wages which then ensures that tax is paid on the tips/gratuity as the law requires so this still ensures that “100% of tips are shared between staff” as the bill wishes The tip/gratuity if paid in cash like at this restaurant still needs to be declared to HMRC and I assume the staff/restaurant do this The advantage of allowing the tip/gratuity to be paid by credit or debit card is that this separate disclosure to HMRC is not required as it is dealt with through the businesses payroll system and tax applied accordingly"

"My husband, who grew up in the area, had a reunion with a high school friend who also married an American. After visiting the abbey across the street earlier that day, we were surprised when they suggested meeting up at this restaurant in the evening. I have always enjoyed the food in the UK, and this place did not disappoint. I was thrilled to see braised pork belly on the menu, which was cooked perfectly and served in a generous portion. I had no problem with the black pudding, as it reminded me of a Filipino dish. The apple fritter, which I initially mistook for an onion ring, was a nice touch. For dessert, I had the warm, sticky ginger toffee pudding, which was a perfect ending to the meal. Our friends were regulars at the restaurant and had a nice table reserved for us in the back. The ambiance was lovely and it was a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. It would also be a nice spot for a romantic dinner for a couple. Keep in mind that parking is limited and tight, so be prepared to walk a few blocks if you can't find a spot right away."

"Has this establishment changed owners. After my visit today I am gobsmacked as to how dirty the ladies toilets and hallway leading to them were . The actual toilets and hand basins were clean , but the skirting boards and walls within the toilets and hallway were very very grubby and stained . I have eaten here quite a few times and enjoyed the food previously. So glad I had not booked today as the attention to cleanliness has clearly changed. Disappointing"

"I had a fantastic and unexpected evening at this restaurant. I had never been before, but I will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch. Despite being busy, the atmosphere was relaxing. The staff were friendly and accommodating, earning an A+ and five stars in my book."

"I contacted the pub direct to resolve first but the response was simply not good enough hence onto the review. Can 't just take responsibility and say sorry we messed up there, apparently all very popular restaurants (their words) leave you sitting for half an hour refusing to take your order because there were bookings who came in AFTER we did. Staff telling us different things. It was not busy and we 'd been ready to order for over 25mins before we left, staff were aware of this as we 'd asked to order twice already and were told no there 's other people Infront of you...which turned out to be the booked tables, so paying customer or not it doesn 't matter, you 're valued less if you haven 't booked despite handing over the cash all the same. Total joke making folk sit and wait when your booked tables aren 't even ready to order yet anyway, and repeatedly saying they 'll just be 2mins for it to turn into 30mins, who knows how long it would have been because we left at that point over the poor customer service. Very disappointing that after messaging to resolve instead of doing a review, it was not taken seriously and glossed over and sorry for your wait. Take some responsibility and make sure staff all know the script so you 're not being told different things."

"We often visit Portobello and have tried a few cafes in the area. This one was on our list to try so we did. My partner and I were seated at a table that needed cleared as we wanted a window seat. The staff member cleaned it but was a little slapdash about it and wiped some of the debris onto my knees. The service was a bit slow but overall the food was ok. Slightly pricey for what it was but ok. Very handy for both the high street and the beach."

"We visited here a few weeks ago and ordered steak which was like chewing cardboard but given the venue is clean and the staff were lovely we thought it must be a one off so decided to visit again today for Sunday Lunch and sadly wish we had not bothered as the food was abysmal. All the meals were clap cold and the roast potatoes were beyond anaemic and sloppy and had never seen a roasting tin in their life. The carrots were black and the Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and over cooked. The vegetarian meal was freezing cold in the middle and was sent back but the replacement was not any better. It was so bad we decided not to bother with a dessert which was included in the set price. We did complain and they did knock some money off the bill. The waiteress was run off her feet as they had a big function on and large groups of tables which is obviously a big issue. Don't take bookings if you can't cope with a large amount of people as it ends up with poor service and inedible food. We will obviously not be returning. The place has great potential if you have decent chefs and management who can whip it in to shape."

"Ramona took our order and frequently checked in on us, always giving us ample time to decide. She was prompt with the check-ins as soon as she understood what we wanted. Just two minutes before closing the kitchen, she asked if we would still like dessert. She also came to inform us when the bar was closing and offered us one last drink. Now, onto the food—it was really delicious! I had a perfectly cooked sirloin steak, just how I like it. My partner ordered turkey, which he thoroughly enjoyed, especially appreciating that it came with an ample and delightful selection of vegetables. Unlike many restaurants that list an array of veggies but serve only a couple of small pieces, here the vegetables were well-prepared and complemented the meal splendidly. My sirloin came with a lovely addition of garlic, tomatoes, and salad—though not as generous as the turkey's accompaniments, it was again perfectly balanced. The baked mushrooms were a tasty treat too, but the dessert truly impressed me. Generally not a dessert person, I found myself loving the brownie with Irish coffee ice cream, and the crème brûlée topped with cherries was simply outstanding, especially with the buttery cookie that beautifully contrasted the sweetness, adding a delightful crunch and a softer flavor. While the prices might be on the higher side, I believe there are good options available for students."

"Food was excellent, every dish was enjoyed. Service was poor. Started off well but after the starters were put on the table service took a noticeable down turn. Had to call over for drinks to which the waitress started walking off after one drink was said. After mains were finished, dishes just stayed on the table, could see wait staff just hanging around or doing remedial jobs like drying glasses. After maybe 40 minutes from finishing our mains, we'd had enough and asked for the bill. By then we still had most of our dishes still on the table and never got asked if we wanted dessert. Wait staff seem young and inexperienced, restaurant didn't seem particularly busy for a Saturday night."

"I drove back from Felixstowe to visit a relative and decided to stop for lunch in Ipswich at around 11:45. I chose Millers for my meal. I started with a much-needed pot of tea, followed by a starter of sticky wings and a filet steak cooked to medium. The steak was perfectly done, and the crispy sweet potatoes complemented it well. The wings were tender and packed with flavor, while the dessert — a beautiful and creamy ice cream — was the perfect way to finish the meal. I was served by the lovely Diane, and I want to thank the chefs for the delicious lunch. I've already recommended this restaurant to my friends and family, and I can't wait to return with my children when they come back from university."
"My sister and brother-in-law's friends from Cornwall, who live in Filey, arranged for a group of eight of us to dine at San Marco. We received a warm welcome from who I assume was the owner and were seated at a window table. The music was excessively loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. My husband and I were seated next to a speaker, so it was particularly bothersome for us. The food we ordered was decent overall, though my seafood calzone had a slightly soggy base, but was nonetheless tasty. My sister-in-law was not impressed with the garlic mushrooms she ordered as a starter. After trying one, I was relieved I had not chosen them myself as they were not very good. If we were to visit Filey again, we would likely seek out a different dining option."
