"Our family enjoys fine dining experiences and expect to pay more for good food, service and environment. So we were excited to come here after looking at the menu as the prices were set to what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant! When we arrived we were impressed with the environment but unfortunately that is where it all ended. Service was extremely slow even though there was only two other tables in the restaurant that were occupied! One table with 2 people and the other table with two adults and a child. We had 5 at our table. We ordered our drinks which took approximately 20 minutes to arrive and when we ordered our food that took over 30 minutes to arrive! Thankfully I asked for the starters to come out with the main course and I chose the hogs pudding scotch egg which in all fairness was nice but quite overpriced at £7.95. We also ordered the Rattler cider Glazed sausages which were basically tasteless chipolata's in a cheap apple sauce priced at £8.95! 3 of us had the seafood linguine which was described on the menu as mussels, cod and king prawns in a rich tomato sauce for £19.95. We all had 3 prawns, no cod, but the mussels were generous. The rich tomato sauce was definitely not rich! This dish for the quality in our opinion was easily over priced by at least £10! Then my wife had the chicken Caesar salad which they forgot about and we had to ask almost 10 minutes later so when it eventually cane the chicken was only just thawed which obviously was pre-cooked and then frozen and absolutely tasteless priced at £16.50 and lastly we had twin Finn jerk spiced chicken which can only be described as really not very nice priced at £17.95. We also had crispy squid and a few extra portions of chips on the side and these were just about cooked and were definitely a very cheap frozen variety! So the whole bill with the drinks was over £200 and it really wasn't worth that! When we complained at the till they gave us 10% off the bill which was a kind gesture but really I was looking for 50% for the quality! When we headed downstairs after we paid we noticed a couple of guests were ordering from a takeaway menus. As we have never been here before I asked reception if they have any menus and said anything that has got to be better than we had upstairs, even the reception staff Discreetly agreed by a nod of the head on a roll of the eyes and said no comment! It's a big shame because this restaurant totally lets down this amazing resort. Definitely asked for the takeaway menus !"
