This was the first time we have eaten at The Cornelian and suffice to say we will be going back there again. The food was of outstanding quality and probably some of the best I have experienced in the area. On par with some of the highest level of meals I have experienced. Special mention to the main course of sea bass it was excellent. Also a special mention for Dylan our waiter who was also very good. We will definitely be revisiting 👍👍👍👍

Didn't start off well when we were told they didn't have enough menu's to pass around each table - thought you were a restaurant? - that took 35 minutes to eventually wait for two menus and order food. Then one of our party had to order a third choice cocktail as the bar didn't have the other two requests available - how can you advertise cocktails on a menu then not be able to serve them? (had to chase our order twice as it took over 20 minutes to receive each cocktail) forgot the first order... Then two mains weren't available, and unsurprisingly, two desserts not available. All announced when we went to order. The staff were below average, not very attentive or professional and the whole experience was terrible. Wouldn't bother recommending your restaurant or ever eat there again. Shocking.

The staff were welcoming but did not check us in so received an email saying we did not attend. Food was ok and choices good. However we ordered a bottle of wine which we had to open as waiter had had no training in using a wine waiter corkscrew. We repeatedly asked for the air con to be turned off but no one knew how to do it. The stairs down to the ladies toilet were filthy and one carpet tread was crumpled and a slip hazard.

This is the second time we have been to Cornelian and we will be back. The menu is varied with plenty to choose from and not too big. The potions are a good size, you do not feel hungry afterwards, you don’t feel hungry afterwards. The waiters were lovely, very attentive, good with recommendations but also left us to enjoy our meal. Sam and Cameron made celebrating my Mother’s 82nd birthday extra special by bringing her a drink with candles in it. Thank you all for a lovely evening, we will def be back!

We found the food to be excellent. The service was quite poor this was despite it being quiet. Serving staff mostly did nothing and left all the work to one individual. The lack of attention spoilt the occasion despite the excellent food.
