"Booked for my husbands birthday. We have got engaged at this place 3 years ago so it was a lovely evening for us. The staff were very polite and helpful. We will definitely visit again. We also enjoyed the surprise birthday cake at the end. Delicious and elegant ambiance. Would recommend to anyone. Well done team!"

"Such a disappointing evening. We went for a dinner on my birthday with my kids 8 and 10). We had to prompt the staff to give us menus and then to take our orders these were the signs that we had a slow night ahead of us. The food was good but it took 30 mins for cold) starters to arrive and 1.5 hours for mains. This was a Wednesday evening in October so hardly peak season. We kept being promised that food would arrive soon but it didn’t. After eventually asking that they sort things out they did realise that things had gone wrong. They did offer a free ice cream or bavlaba but after we declined saying we needed to get the kids to bed they didn’t offer a single penny off the bill and still added the automatically included service charge. I expect others have had fine experiences at this establishment, but I certainly shan’t be darkening it’s door again. Given the wide choice of restaurants locally and the demise of the previous restaurant on this site it does not augur well for these guys long term. A massive disappointment as I love the concept and it could be such a winner. :"

"found this small hotel/bar/restraunt through Google search when my pre-booked choice had left me down. only very late at the day of arrival contacted, fortunately they had available space for 2x double rooms. the personal could not have been more helpful. kitchen only open to order food unit 20:30, but eating was really well prepared and menu reasonably wide. the bar closes at 22:00 and there are no employees after that. breakfast not included in the room rate and only available from 09:30 clock. I could have included the quality and the price-performance ratio of the full English breakfast £10 except it would have coffee / tee. still it was excellent. the room where I was well furnished had good facilities. many hot water at good pressure to have a very welcome shower. the bathroom also had a large deck bath. despite the proximity to a40, traffic noises want a problem, even with the space window well opened. total ... a great stay. well done to the whole team here. Yeah, I'm back."

"The food was nice but portions were small and prices were high very high for the size of the portions we got. And several items on the menu weren't available which was a shame. There are a lot of different deals for different days which I found confusing. There didn't seem to be any deals on the day we went we were just given a menu with no mention of any deals. No ambience but that's probably because we were the only ones in there but we were eating between lunch and dinner time so that was probably why. I wouldn't go again unless we got a good deal too pricey for too little food."

"About a month ago, we had dinner at this charming restaurant, and the food was outstanding. After spending a week at Findhorn enjoying vegetarian cuisine, perhaps our senses were heightened, but I could truly taste each individual spice in the dishes. I can honestly say that my main course was one of the best meals I've ever had anywhere in the world. Now that we are back home in Australia, I've recommended this restaurant to my sister-in-law, who lives in Portugal and will be visiting Inverness next week. She has already made a reservation for dinner there, and I'm confident it will meet my high expectations."

"I have to say this is the only time I have visited where I havenât been satisfied It took ages for our order to be take for drinks when they eventually did take our drinks order we jumped at the chance and ordered our food. The starter arrived which was a sharing Camembert and we were not offered side plates which meant there was lots of cheese over the table after we had finished The food was ok I have no complaints there but after our plates were cleared for the main they did nor ask us to see the dessert menu or asked if we would like anything else. We waited and waited thinking that she would come back and we tried to get their attention without shouting by this time she had cleared the table next to us was being cleared and she immediately offered them the dessert menu. After half an hour of waiting to see the menu my fiancÃe had to walk up to the staff in the other room and ask for the bill because we werenât going to be ordering desserts after having to wait. They were very apologetic but by this time it was too late. As myself and my partner donât get to go on dates very often it ruined our one night out Service is everything in any establishment whether youâre eating pub grub or Michelin star food itâs not difficult to give great service and be attentive but when you clearly have wait staff who really clearly donât want to be there it really shows Iâm hoping this isnât a regular occurrence but we wonât be going back for a little while."

"I actually attended on the Friday for evening dinner. We were suppose to have gone again on the Sunday afternoon. But decided to give it a miss. I was not as impressed as I once was with this place. I have been here a few times and have enjoyed. But this time I did not enjoy the meal. Some of it was cold. I ordered Irish coffee. They got sent back times. First ones never looked right. Second one very cold. Third time was fine. Even the cheese board was very minimal."

"We went to The Drake 3 times over a one month period with visiting family and friends, because it is very close to our flat while living in Glasgow. The atmosphere is great and the service was excellent. However, the food was only so-so given that this is billed as a gastro-pub. The first experience was great, and the food was really good. We then went to the Sunday roast dinner, and were disappointed to see that there was no cauliflower cheese (as advertised), and the sticky toffee pudding was all gone by the time we arrived at 5:45. The Yorkshire pudding did not taste quite fresh, or made of fresh ingredients. The substituted ice cream sundae lacked some of the advertised ingredients. The third meal we had there last week and the vegetable curry contained fairly few intact vegetables, except for several strips of uncooked red pepper. The crispy onions, advertised as an accompaniment, were not present and we had to ask for them. I'd love to see this place thrive but the kitchen staff needs to do a better job. I can't strictly pan the place as it has great vibes and a named local brew, but in restaurant-heavy Glasgow, more is needed."

"Took going to the front desk twice to get the tv fixed in the room. Initially they sent in housekeeping to try to fix it, then a gentleman around the front desk came in and reset the channels. Waited roughly 4-5 hours. Beds are a little hard, but I am used to memory foam, so may be good for people used to a conventional mattress. Shower is amazingly hot and perfect with a shower head that actually has pressure. Breakfast is great, lots of choices, and very good orange juice. Overall, perfect location for us and easy to get to from London via coach. Rooms: Little small, but efficient for needs. Walkability: Easy to get to from coach, restaurant/pub nearby, and convenient mart in walking distance. Food drinks: Room service available, breakfast with juices and coffee."

"Mixed experience. Had a booking, restaurant still on a Monday afternoon, took 5 minutes for someone to come to us at the desk, and when she did she barely said hello, just looked at us with a scowl. After that sat at table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to eat over. Eventually got order in, waitress didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we actually got a drink. Not really acceptable in a quiet restaurant, that was closing in less than an hour closes early on a Monday. Food was good when it came, and different waitress by now, who was so much better. So a mixed bag. I know staff difficulties at present, but 10 minutes training in fundamentals would help. As would have someone in charge on the floor to ensure paying customers are being looked after. Poor management from what I saw. Pity, as some of the staff were great, others very poor. (Translated by Google) Mixed experience. He had a reservation, the restaurant was quiet Monday afternoon, it took 5 minutes for someone to come and see us at the counter and, when he did, he barely greeted us, he only looked at us with the frown. After that, I sat at the table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come. I finally got the order, the waitress didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we had a drink. It is really not acceptable in a quiet restaurant, which closed in less than an hour; it closes early on Mondays. The food was good when it came, and now the waitress was different, which was much better. Then a mix of things. I know the difficulties of the staff at present, but a 10-minute basic training would help. Just like having someone in charge on the floor to ensure that the paying customers are treated. Bad management for what I saw. Too bad, since some staff members were great, others very poor."

"The pub wasn’t particularly busy but it took a good 20 minutes before I got up went to the bar are ordered my own. Food took about 50 mins from arriving which again I felt a little slow. Started came without olives to which the waiter said you will have to ask for a discount when you pay, we mentioned this at the end and a different waitress said we haven’t had them all day! So why not tell us that when we ordered! Wife’s roasted celeriac was the size of a starter which for £16 was disappointing. Missed an order of chips for the children which arrived after we complained and had finished eating. Staff generally polite but did seem very distracted by what I assume was a group party. Finally the table we were given in the area we sat in was freezing cold, making the whole thing look experience pretty miserable. Won’t be hurrying back!"

"I got my friend there for a birthday contract. the man at the reception was not very friendly. looks like he didn't want to be there. I wanted to take a place in the reception area and bring us drinks menu. we ordered two tees. they came to our small table in the reception area without teaspoon or sugar just a little milkpot. we then became the main menu we didn't want as we wanted the afternoon menu. He brought this and we said we wanted the afternoon. then he told us we have to book this in advance! I was not given the opportunity to book any meal online. we died to order only scene. they were taken to the table at the reception to ask us if we could sit in the main restaurant, what they said we could. we had to do our potte and tassen etc. to the restaurant. there were only three other people who were there all the time. the food was ok. scones very small for the price. it was cold, no music and no atmosphere. the personal was not about friendly and we could not wait to go. will not disturb to come back what is a candid, as the setting is very beautiful."

"In the end, we opted for breakfast since we were starving, but later that day, we found it impossible to secure a place for Christmas dinner. Consequently, we had to settle for room service at our hotel around the corner, which was incredibly disappointing. Moreover, while we were there, the staff at 11 Cadogan Gardens appeared overwhelmed with preparations for the Christmas meal. We had to ask for basic items, such as a fork; it took five minutes after our breakfast was delivered for someone to check on us. I ordered a mimosa and was served a flute of orange juice that tasted like it had no champagne in it. To my surprise, ten minutes later, I received a separate flute of champagne! Apparently, I was supposed to mix them myself, but no one communicated that to me. While breakfast was acceptable, it definitely wasn’t worth the equivalent of around $75 USD."

"My wife and I, we diced to have a relax weekend at Pestana Hotel. The hotel is beautiful and the Spa very busy but over all very good and beautiful. For dinner we diced to stay at the hotel, the food was ok for £35 per person I was expecting bit more. My only big issue was the fact that I didn't know if I entered into a restaurant or a birthday party? The employees speak very loudly and makes you feel uncomfortable."

"Quick visit while on the way west. Fab place but our young server struggled with a simple drinks order. Ended up charging me for totally different drink. Easily sorted by a chat with an experienced colleague. Big plus is the abundance of free parking. Noteworthy details: The whole estate is quite new and remains fresh and very appealing. Must cost a bit to live there. Service: 3"

"the other half for his birthday dinner. we went for the 2 curs and three course set menu on £15 and £18. it is valid from Monday to Thursday. that are definitely good value for money. for the head I had laughter and my man had superior to that. both were good, but I think the huh ran it tastefully. had the favorite for dessert, but I was so full that I could not appreciate it so much after the starter of parma ham and melons and the head. my other half had the white bait. I tried a piece, but it's not just my ding. he seemed to enjoy it. the no set menu has many choices, but is also pricier. the waiters were attentive, although the payment of the bill took a little longer than necessary, as it was not so busy. I will probably be back in the near future, but as I am a bargain hunter, will probably stay at the set menu"

"I rated the restaurant on earlier visit when I had their normal menu. her eating was absolutely delicious. unfortunately I went there christmas eve and online booked was not aware that they only served a set menu. because my family did not eat on the menu except truthahn that we had the next day, we decided not to stay. the staff was very gracious and we felt terrible, but I recommend this restaurant when it served its normal menu."

"I’ve been to Giovanni’s three times in the space of three days only because the Capricciosa Pizza was SO delicious, and I wanted to have it again!! On the third night I had the parmigiana di melanzane, and it was fabulous as well. My partner had the minestrone soup and spaghetti bolognese, and he was equally impressed. The food is really very good, and the service is impressive. Especially if you’re lucky enough to have Izzy as your waitress, you’re in luck! She will look after you and make sure that you have the most delightful dining experience. Whenever I return to Knutsford, I will ensure to eat here again!!

"we had high expectations to try a gordon ramsey restaurant, but we were disappointed in every aspekt. the first was the very unprofessional, glued and rude waiter. After he had given us an appointment to say that we share our food, he was short and mean for the rest of the evening. Despite the pleasant drink we ordered, everything else was disappointed. the mushroom soup was watery and nothing better than the campbells. the appetizers were bland, lack of taste and open nothing special. the steak, ordered medium rare, came well done, and after returning came a large fat and sick-cooked meat crug at his place. not only that, the cable came burned and chew. although we were met with free sorbet to compensate, we were disappointed and underwhelmed."
