    Impeccable service, very friendly and helpful staff. Please consider adding maybe a garlic butter or lemon butter sauce for the prawns as the ones you currently have does not compliment then well. Outstanding desserts

    Sad that we had to wait for a long time for the grills (prawns and chops) and was given like 4 prawns at a time. More time was spent waiting for the food. Plus we paid for sea food experience and feel that very minimal sea food was served. Very disappointing for the amount of money spent.

    Overall, the food was good. There were some issues, lamb chops were a bit salty, and the deserts was not the best. The red velvet piece of cake I had was hard and tasted stale. There was an issue with the service, I don't think there was enough staff to handle all the tables. We waited for 10-15 min for a server/waiter to come and take our drinks order when we arrived and the place wasn't too busy at that stage. We had to ask someone to call the servers/waiters for us to get us another round as well as when we wanted to settle the bill for the drinks, we had to look for the servers/waiters.

    Dear Robin Powell, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your recent dining experience at Coastlands Skye Hotel.  We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food overall and found it to be good value for money. However, we sincerely apologise that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations.  We regret that the lamb chops were overly salty and that the desserts, particularly the red velvet cake, did not meet the high standards we strive to maintain. Your comments have been shared with our culinary team for immediate review to ensure greater consistency in both quality and presentation.  We are equally concerned by the service delays you experienced. Waiting 10 to 15 minutes to place a drinks order and having difficulty attracting the attention of service staff is certainly not the level of attentiveness we aim to provide. While we appreciate your understanding, we acknowledge that timely and proactive service is an essential part of the dining experience. Your feedback has been discussed with our restaurant management team to review staffing levels and service procedures during busy periods. Thank you once again for bringing these matters to our attention. We value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a far more seamless and enjoyable dining experience in the future.  Warm regards, Andre-B van Wyk Group Marketing and Sales Manager
