   The images showed nicely set tables with tablecloths and the menu had a range of options. We booked for mother's day lunch not realising that it would be a more basic set up and the menu on offer was not that on the website but the golfers lunch menu. Staff were very nice but I wouldn't go for a special occassion again.

   Poor service, I added a note that one person os vegetarian so will appreciate if there are some vegetarian options to choose from. There was only one salad in the menu. The staff never offered anything else as vegetarian even after asking while the other tables were served with vegetarian soup. Disappointed.

   Overall my experience here wasn’t the best and have been left very disappointed. I would like to thank the young girl with the blonde hair who looked after our table and made sure everything was perfect for us. She was a star. Unlike the manager on the door. As we arrived for dinner we were greeted with a hello and then he went back onto the computer screen. We then stood for 14 minutes before actually getting seen to by the lovely waiter we had. (I have forgotten her name but she was so sweet!) If it wasn’t for that girl then we wouldn’t have actually eaten dinner here. The staff have no manners or know who to welcome guests. Food was lovely and also the young boy Scott behind the bar made fabulous cocktails for us! thank you to him and the blonde waiter for helping us. By far the only two staff members I can recommend.

    Me and my partner booked a meal at the vista restaurant on the 7th February for my birthday at 5pm. It was our first time at the restaurant as we were visitors to the area . The restaurant itself wasn't very well sign posted. The restaurant decor and view was stunning. However, the loutish behavior and noise coming from the people next door was very off putting and ruined the ambience of the restaurant. My partner had to ask for the doors to be shut. Our server was lovely and very attentive and a credit to your organisation. The food itself was incredible, but unfortunately the noise from the men next door is not what I expect from a restaurant of this calibre and not what I want when go out for dinner at evening. So because of this we will not be returning.

    READ ALL THE RECENT REVIEWS BEFORE YOU BOOK - 4 STARS IS GENEROUS !! I chose this hotel based on the web page which shows a beautiful dining area, table cloths and a fantastic a la carte menu. Plus, the booking process asked if it was a special event and as we were there for my husband's 60th birthday lunch we were both very excited! When we arrived we checked in explaining we were there to eat, not for a cream tea. The menu arrived, an A4 photocopy sheet for The 19th Bar. I went to the desk to explain that we were there for the a la carte menu and the lady explained that it's not available until after 5pm. I asked if she could show me where on the web page this is explained but she couldn't because she said she didn't know much about that. I told her I felt very awkward and embarrassed because my special lunch experience was about to turn into fish and chips! She apologised but there was nothing she could do. Fish and chips were ok, but just ok. As we were leaving the restaurant I wanted to visit the ladies. When I opened the door a cleaner said I would have to wait five minutes because she had just put chemicals in the loo!!! I was shocked into silence. I think a more suitable response would have been 'can you hold on just a moment while I get a cubicle ready for you'. I wrote to the General Manager - James Anderson - yesterday using the hotel feedback form but I am not surprised that I haven't heard from him yet. If you check the history of reviews he seems to spend a lot of time apologising. It is a beautiful location and has the potential to be a great venue but they have a long, long way to go before the service delivered matches the glittery web page!!

    Our booking was not what we expected nor as advertised. We booked an a la carte lunch and were offered sandwiches instead. Eventually soup, a burger or fish and chips was offered. The fish arrived first and when we queried this we were asked if we had wanted the soup first! Originally we were asked for a drinks order but were offered no choice or list. Staff were young, inexperienced and disinterested including the manager whom I had to approach regularly to ask questions as he never came to our table. We were told that a La carte is only served after 5pm. This should have been made clear on our booking which provided an a La carte menu. It was embarrassing to take our guest for a meal which we could have had at McDonalds. At least they would have provided better customer service. Overall a very poor and disappointing experience.

    It started well with the greeter very polite, friendly and informative, as was Terry the server, then it went downhill. Very noisy with loud people unaware how to not shout everything, children crying and shouting, not exactly a romantic atmosphere. Our was taken quickly and the good appeared shortly after but was dumped rather than placed and the girl vanished before asking if we needed any sauces or vinegars or before I had a chance to ask. Our plates then sat for a good 15 mins before being cleared, we felt invisible even though we were the closest table to where everyone was standing or to the table that took 3 of them to clear/clean. Was asked if we wanted desserts, we said yes, eventually got the menus and a further 15 mins went by before we got or order taken with everyone seemingly unable to see the menus sat to the side and us sitting with nothing. There were apologies but the overall experience was disappointing.

    Whilst the food and service were fabulous, the restaurant itself was extremely cold - we then moved to the 19th hole bar and it was absolutely freezing. People had to go get their jackets on. We asked for the air con to be out on at heat which was done but it would take a long time to heat that area so we left and went to our room with drinks to keep warm.

    The service was very slow and I waited for a while on my drink then two appeared. The wait staff were lovely and friendly and helpful but it’s clear there is not enough staff on duty, both serving and cooking. The meal was delicious as was the wine. As for the ambience- there really should be a dimmer switch as at times it feels like you are sitting in a canteen. The seats are very comfortable. Also some outside lights would be good to enjoy the view. Overall it was an enjoyable experience although I think some changes would enhance the experience.

    We stayed overnight for my 40th and we’re so disappointed by the service in the restaurant. We waited such a long time to be offered drinks and then waited even longer for the wine list. The starter came relatively quickly but it was an hour and a half from arriving until we got our main course which was ridiculous. We felt the atmosphere was cold and stilted and we chose not to get dessert and just go back and sit on our room. Such a disappointment for what was supposed to be a special occasion. Also they did not have an Al a carte menu available for some reason which meant there was not as much choice as we expected. Very strange experience all in all and we could see others at tables around us being annoyed by the poor service too which ruined the atmosphere. Would not recommend.

    Our booking was cancelled without any prior communication as the hotel was closed for a private function, we arrived on time and politely told all areas are closed. It was a special occasion and we had to Coast down the road, which was excellent.

    The staff were so so lovely but MASSIVELY under staffed, we waited 40mins after being seated before going to find a waiter to take our DRINKS order, we hadn't even ordered food at this stage. The waiters did not stop all night but there just wasn't enough of them. Our bill got completely messed up which isn't surprising when people are working at such speed and chaos. Food was tremendous but the under staffed situation would put me off returning which is a shame.

    My husband and I went to Vista for lunch, mainly to see what it was like as I was planning to take a friend there for a special celebratory lunch. The receptionist who greeted us assumed we were there for afternoon tea, as there was nothing in his diary to indicate we were actually there for lunch! The menu was limited, with a choice of 4 or 5 light dishes, 4 main dishes or a choice of sandwiches! The a la carte menu was only available after 5:30. The food was nice enough, but the whole experience left us disappointed, and I have subsequently cancelled the reservation I had made for my friend and I, and have booked lunch elsewhere.
