   Having booked a table I would expect to sit at a table with the decent height to enjoy a meal. Low coffee table was not pleasing I would expect this if I had have not booked. The food was poor- burger bap was stale, potato’s were dry no butter or any seasoning the tomato wa if it sat all day in its juices. The main course was terrible, the waiting staff lacked enthusiasm my cocktail was spilt when placed down on the table without an acknowledgment. No atmosphere in the place. Overall I have had far nicer experiences elsewhere and won’t be back

   We went for lunch on a Sat pm. The room is lovely,however the table we were placed at was to low and to small. The service was very slow,but the food was lovely. I feel the addition of background music appropriate to the theme of the place would be a useful addition. The tables as mentioned should be replaced. You are sitting on a shared settee. Whilst there were some other tables the majority I saw were of the type mentioned above. The restaurant just lacks atmosphere. The staff could be a bit more engaging. No one checked to see if we were enjoying our lunch It was just " are you ready to order " , " all finished". I expected more professionalism.

   Unfortunately this was not the experience we had expected or had been recommended to us. We had to ask more than once for different items for our table. Some of the food never even arrived. We were extremely disappointed and it did not meet any of our expectations especially when it was a treat for us on our holiday.

   Erratic standard of food, chowder was exceptional, brownies on kids menu were great & very well presented. Steak was ok, not prepared as requested & poor value overall. Cocktails very average not prepared to that standard of a good cocktail bar. Great surroundings but the service was really appalling. It seems like the staff have not been properly trained, no specific wait staff seem to have been assigned to tables, we encountered 5 different exit staff over 3 courses. Very long wait between courses, empty plates & glasses left on table. Really basic stuff that sky restaurant should be able to handle. Overall not recommended which is a shame as the seafood chowder is one of the best I’ve ever had. I hope the rest of the restaurant catches up.

   Dining room was beautiful and waiters were all very polite but the service was very, very slow. Asked online if there was a special occasion. Told them it was my daughter’s 18th. There was no mention of it from anyone at the Hotel, so why ask online in the first place?? I would definitely go back though as the food and red ale was great and it is a nice piece of history to dine in.

   There are very few tables for eating as you would expect in a restaurant. Most of the tables are coffee table style and height with sofas and armchairs which do not make for a comfortable sitting position for a meal at all. There is a function room adjacent which is not used for anything but afternoon teas and this was not allowed for evening dining after asking for an appropriate height table. Staff stated that when booking the meal we should have asked for a proper height table!!!!!! That option is not available through Open table. Ordered wine and it was simply set on the table with two glasses and the manager just walked off without offering to taste or pour or even confirm that was the wine we chose. After our starters we were offered to move to a higher table to find that it was surrounded by soft armchairs which required extra cushions from a nearby sofa to try and raise the seating position - not very successful and ended up eating dinner at almost chin level. Food was good although whilst it looked nice, trying to eat fish and chips from a wire basket was not ideal. Small pot of tartare sauce was only 1/3 full. Seafood chowder was delicious as was the Thai curry. Nobody followed up after serving to see if the food was to our satisfaction and we were only approached once when we had finished eating to see if we wanted anything else.

   We really enjoyed our food (nicest steaks ever) however service was a bit slow as the staff were very stretched. They were lovely but they just could’ve used more help to keep things moving. Seating is a bit awkward too. Very low down for dining.

    We were booked for 6.15pm and were served very quickly , the food came very quickly , good start , it started to go downhill from there. The service then became very poor , we were given our dinner and no condiments , i managed to catch someones attention who said they would be right with us , they didnt come back , we ate our dinner and the empty plates were left sitting for nearly an hour. I had to go and ask someone to come and clear our table as no one came near us in all of that time. I felt the service went down hill quickly the min our dinner was served.

    Service was ok but didn’t seem to have a main waiter with lots of different staff attending our table, so a bit disjointed. We weren’t told what the soup of the day was when ordering but heard other tables close by being told. We had no condiments at our table and weren’t offered any. My wife had to send her coffee back as it was cold, my Irish coffee was also cold but I drank it, quickly. The food was nice but at £83 and considering the above we left feeling disappointed.

    Disappointing. An impressive building and a lovely room but the service really let down our dining experience. First we waited a long time between ordering and receiving drinks. Food came out about 30 mins after ordering but we then waited another 45 mins before mains arrived. In this time no-one returned to collect plates or take further drink orders. We then waited another 30 minutes before giving up on getting coffee or dessert and had to walk to the bar to ask for our bill. Staff didn’t seem over-busy but just inexperienced and were also a bit surly. Food was decent but not anywhere near spectacular enough to make up for the service…

    Poor enough service. Had to wait 20 mins for a pint of Guinness. No one took empty glasses from table or asked how we were enjoying our food. We expected more given the location, so a tad disappointing.

    Stunning venue.. I absolutely love the Drawing Rooms been several times and has always been excellent. This time round I left disappointed. The service was absolutely disgraceful .. Was sat down at the table and left there for at least 15 mins before anyone came over with a menu - had to go up and get my own drink .. Asked for water twice at the meal and when it did arrive we had finished our meal. Bill didn't arrive so I went up to bar and stood there until one of the team rang it through at the till ...

    What sells this place is the service and the ambience. Highly priced for what you get. Could do a little better with the expensive meal options. Looked like a lunch from local deli and the sides are not included in your meal price which makes for a very expensive sandwich and chips. The waiters were lovely.

    Nice menu and friendly staff, and an incredible setting. Initially service was quick, but I felt the staff were too thinly stretched so after our main course was cleared we felt forgotten about. We waited over half an hour hoping for a dessert menu, but in the end I had to approach the staff to ask for the bill.

    The lunch was for my daughter’s birthday and it could not have been better. From the minute we arrived the staff were so lovely and pleasant . Drinks ,cocktails, food on point. I had mentioned when booking it was a birthday lunch they very kindly gave my daughter a beautiful surprise happy birthday dessert . The ladies beside us were a choral society and broke into the most wonderful rendition of happy birthday . What a fab experience in such beautiful surroundings . Would definitely recommend *****
