"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"Was looking forward to our evenings dinner as had read the positive reviews. Sadly it was far from what I had expected. I take no pleasure in scoring such a low mark but when you end up walking out of a restaurant sadly 1 is all that you deserve. We had booked and on arrival were shown to a nice 2 table booth. The staff were pleasant enough especially the chap on duty. It took a few minutes to be handed a menu which was not really an issue but the restaurant was quite quiet. I ordered a beer and a bottle of Albariño. Then I was hoping we could order our food and it was at this point my wife and I started to have reservations. I was asked a 2nd time what beer I had ordered. Then we were approached and asked again what beer I had ordered and advised the wine might not be available and would,we order something else. So we were waiting to find out whether the wine was actually available but eventually ordered another wine. So far so unimpressive. Then I watched the staff wander about and no sign of the beer I ordered 10 minutes previously. My wife eventually turner and said if ordering drinks was such a challenge we had no confidence the rest of the evening would go at all smoothly. Reluctantly we got up and left. I am sure this restaurant has better days and the reviews would back that up but it was so disappointing. Ended going to a restaurant called Usquabae in the West End which was fantastic and service and food impeccable. So evening rescued but Ishmael need to up their game in terms of staffing and service."

"A good venue for a decent meal and peaceful night 's sleep in a convenient location. Some niggles. Liked · The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and the beds were v.comfortable. Functional and clean bathrooms with heated/steam free mirrors always a nice touch. The bedroom anciliary double gazing worked well to significantly reduce the passing traffic noise to the front (since property is right on the A39 . The included breakfast was tasty. This is a friendly, cosy and clean Pub in an ideal location for both Truro and Falmouth (being roughly midway . We had the Sunday Carvery and thought that this was tasty and reasonable value for money. Although we did experience some issues, we would likely consider staying again. Our summary would be that it 's a good venue that has the potential to be great, with some further attention to basic details (like: functional bedroom heating more joined up bar service . Disliked · The in room heating (appeared to be wall mounted electric oil filled radiators could NOT be made to function in either of our rooms AT ALL giving the appearance of being past their best, with illegible small LED control panels for which there were no instructions supplied. This was faulted out to the staff on our first evening (of a 3 night stay and, although we were informed that the manager will come out tomorrow these were NEVER successfully remedied whilst we were there. We were provided with a small portable oil filled radiator, which served our purposes OK but suggest that, once frosts and 'proper ' Winter sets in, the inability to heat bedrooms effectively will very likely prove to be an issue for future guests(! Although the staff were generally very friendly, there was an occasion on one of the evenings, when a drinks/snack order was placed with the passing staff member and after a 10 mins plus wait (were thinking just how long does it take to pour 2x drinks and grab a bag of snacks? the same staff member was chased, only to receive the reply: The receipt machine is broken, so the order didn 't go through... SO... have a backup system, then maybe?!!! (possibly we 'd still be waiting? Another observation was that many of the staff appeared to be very young and had the air of being rather inexperienced... but then we guess that everyone has to learn somehow. Parking: Parking filled rapidly on Weekends so worth arriving a little early to secure a spot. Price per person: £100 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Roast Beef, Full English Breakfast, Moules Mariniere, Smoked Salmon and Eggs Benedict Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking"
