    Well This is difficult. Arriving at the Blue Grill ( have been before) They had no record of our booking through OpenTable. As this was on a night when they were full (Valentines) we were shocked. However after a 40 minute wait the brilliant staff had accommodated us and made a table ready for us. And as usual up to their high standards. So would we book again with the Blue Grill yes. Will we ever use OpenTable again NO.

    Lovely food, wonderful service. Will definitely go again. Shame Opentable hadn’t notified the restaurant of our booking, but they were amazing and accommodated us.

    The restaurant was great, they even sorted us a table because open table didn’t inform them I had made a reservation. Will definitely be returning to the blue grill, the steak is amazing! Thanks

    I have visited the Blue Grill 3 times now, the service and atmosphere it impeccable as always. Slightly disappointed to note the menu has changed 6 weeks ago and has not been altered on the Opentable website, it meant that what myself and my partner had selected before our visit was no longer available. Still a lovely treat for anniversaries, special birthdays.

    Splendid visit in every aspect. We arrived early for our reservation and were directed to the library where we were served drinks. The menu was à la carte but we were informed this is due to change in the next month or so. We had complementary canapés and warmed bread rolls whilst waiting for the first course and mini sweets to accompany the coffee at the end of the meal. Wonderful ambience, attentive staff, terrific comfortable venue, delicious food.

    This is our third year of celebrating our special occasion here, although we were very lucky to get in as the booking through open table had failed and we managed to get a table half hour later than the failed booking. As of the other previous years the food was excellent and the staff outstanding. Thank you for making are special occasion very special again.

    Impressive building and architecture. Beautiful blue hall yet a bit cold in October, due to the size of the room. All food was fine apart from main course. Mixed starters for 2 were brilliant. Main course was slightly disappointing. Surf and turf. Lobsters were frozen, my friends steak was quite fatty and chips could of been a lot crispier. Desserts were lovely. Service was great.

    I booked online as I was away in meetings. I wanted to book a special meal for myself and my family after boxing day. The restaurant was apparently not available, which I only found out when they called me a few days before we were due to go leaving me no time to organise anything else noting the time of year. The issue is that your website made no mention of this, nor did Thoresby Hall website. If it had, I obviously wouldn't have tried to make a booking.

    Awful meal delivered wrong and no apologies or refund massively overpriced for meals and very little choice on menu That's why not many in the place would never go again
