    Food was good . However 3 of us had the fish which was underdone : when we mentioned it the immediatly cooked 3 more pieces that were excellent ( a good restaurant will always correct any issues and this was a clear sign that it’s a very good restaurant ) Staff were very good and I would have no hesitation in recommending this redtuarant

    As always good service excellent food. Only downside was new menu which we were given with fixed price menu on did not make it clear some things were included in price and some weren’t.
    The Brook BistroResponded on May 7, 2025
    Thank you for your review we really appreciate it. The feedback regarding the intros not being part of the set menu choice I feel we must clarify are on the set menu with prices and everything else does not include a specific price. Im not really sure what we can do to make it clearer. If you have any advice please let us know. Kindest regards Darren
