Staff were over familiar. Calling me young man by an 18 year old was ridiculous. Sir or madam is the proper and respectful way to address clients. The bread and olives didn’t come very quickly and they forgot to bring half of it. A wine was suggested with no questions around likes or dislikes. Beetroot Panacotta had no flavour.

A disaster from start to finish. Service odd, food sub par and the way it was dealt with at the time abysmal . Staff are short on the ground, and they aren’t trained. The menu is ok but items missing. The food isn’t cooked well for the hotel price point. And when mistakes are made the response is borderline embarrassing. The hotel is lovely but we would not return based on the restaurant. Spend your money elsewhere.
