    I enjoyed the food but the service was very poor the waitress wasn't even friendly she never introduced herself she didn't even came to check if we are enjoying anything no the drinks they took time most of the time we would lift our hands to look for her attention when we wanted certain service any way the place is beautiful wth beautiful view but the waitress wish l knew her name but l don't know her name she was horrible if lm to say even wen we ask her did the bill balance and we left ten percent tho wanted to leave more but her attitude was just a total turn off

    It was a lovely night to celebrate our child’s graduation. Beautiful setting and lovely staff. Unfortunately extremely slow service from the kitchen. There were 3 other tables that already had meals when we arrived but our drinks took a while and so did the food, nearly 45min. I expected better for the price and quality of hotel. Still, I will be back if someone else is paying ;)

    I had the best experience visiting the restaurant, from the moment I booked on email Scott Payle was very helpful, he answered all the questions I had. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was great.

    Food was not prepared as ordered, and the server's response was not proactive in resolving the issue.. Disappointing attention to detail overall.
