"We visited as a family of 4 (two adults and two children) on Saturday 9 September. I hadn't told the restaurant that it was my birthday, but we were treated to a perfect, canal-side table. The food was, without exception, excellent. When I booked, I was concerned that this very beautiful restaurant may not be suitable for a family with young children. I needn't have worried. The staff were all very helpful and considerate to the children as well as to us. My 9 year old daughter ordered the calamari, and asked for it without the chilli and spring onion (just plain). Unfortunately the calamari had been cooked in a chilli batter, so was very spicy, and she could not eat it. When I apologetically told the wait staff, they happily replaced it with some popcorn shrimp, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent service. The watermelon cooler cocktail was delicious, and perfect on such a hot day. Thank you, Summerhouse. We will certainly be back. A really lovely way to celebrate my birthday with my family."
