"Visited the bistro this evening with my wife and 11 year old daughter. We arrived at our pre booked time of 7pm and were greeted and shown to our table at which point we were advised we had 1 1/4 hours before we were required to leave.At 7.26pm we placed our food order with our starters of nachos and chicken wings arriving at 7.45pm. Both starters were tasty with no complaints. At 8.15 our main courses arrived after having to ask a waitress. Two sirloin steaks again tasty and cooked as asked, but the kids pasta dish was not eaten as my daughter just simply didn’t like it (personal choice). Chips were overcooked and greasy.As we were eventually eating our main course a young waiter entered the restaurant from outside and upon speaking with another waiter was clearly upset about something and cursed f**k which my daughter clearly heard. At this point I asked to speak with the manger who approached and listened to my complaints as listed above. He was quick to apologise for the bad language and advised that they are currently training up staff but agreed that the language used was unacceptable and offered us our desserts free of charge. He never really offered anything by way of apology for the long wait or overcooked and greasy chips which he agreed with when he saw them.The bill for 2 starters, 2 steaks and a kids meal along with 5 drinks came to £82.96, overpriced I think for an average meal with very slow service.During our time there it was clear another family nearby we’re having similar issues.In short we were very disappointed tonight and will not be returning anytime soon."

Just had a quick meal with the offer of £10 off per person, the restaurant didn’t honour the price and claimed they couldn’t check their own till, so it was £57.80 instead of £37.80

Food and service has always been good but really impressed by the new menu for value, taste and presentation. Chocolate and chilli cheescake was like something from a 5 star reataurant! Chef and staff are excellent always a good vibe about the place. Hard to beat! View menu

The food at this restaurant was terrible. It was the worst we have ever had. We visited tonight and would never go back. My husband's chicken burger was boiled and completely disgusting. My daughter's food was overcooked and had a bad taste. We can confidently say that this place serves the worst food we have ever experienced. Avoid at all costs.

The restaurant were offering half price for their bistro menu from Monday to Thursday, so we visited again for dinner on Monday. Food was delicious, i enjoyed the lasagne, although the chilli chicken pasta which is served here is probably my favourite in the North Coast. Wine was a great price too. We’ve eaten here many times, and the standard of the food is always great. The midweek offer of half price was super value for money.

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and on the second night we dined in the restaurant , the service and food where excellent friendly staff big portions and very well priced for the area . We had the chilli beef on flat bread and the scampi dishes with sides of salt and chilli chips , garlic chips and tobacco onions al washed down with cold beer and cider . Lovely food , nice atmosphere and all done with restrictions in hand . Top notch View menu

I typically don't like to complain, but the food at this restaurant was so awful that I felt compelled to speak up. My wife and I dined here tonight and I can confidently say it was the worst meal we've ever had. I ordered a chicken burger and the chicken was boiled and cold, it was revolting. My daughter had fish fingers that were burnt and had a strange taste. Overall, it was a truly terrible experience. I highly recommend avoiding this place altogether. Save your money and dine somewhere better!

I took my boyfriend to this restaurant on Thursday for a meal with a few drinks, and I have to say, the food is absolutely delicious! I started with the Nachos, which were amazing and very filling - I could have had them as a main course. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Wings, which were tasty with a nice kick of spice. For our main courses, I had the bean burger with halloumi and salt and chili chips - both were delicious, but I couldn't finish them because I was already full from the starter. My boyfriend's Classy Bird burger was equally satisfying. The service was excellent and very attentive. I highly recommend trying their Pornstar Martini cocktails! We will definitely be back soon.
