Nice choice on menu with skate which rarely see and my husband really enjoyed. My steak was cooked to my liking and was very tasty. Scallop starter was also excellent. Staff attentive and friendly. Only downside was that although I had booked several weeks in advance through this site my booking had not been passed through to the restaurant and they were not expecting us however luckily it was not an issue as not very busy but could have been if in peak season.

We choose to eat at the Ventana restaurant because of the Art Deco decoration. We like to to dress in 30s clothes and were looking forward to the experience. On our booking it said smart casual but when we got there, there was a woman in scruffy shorts. The lady who sat next to us was talking on her phone throughout the meal, which ruined it for us. We then waited nearly an our for our food! We were given a free drink but then a 12% service charge was added to our bill! Shocking!

Not the best fillet stake I have had. Portions were small. Had to ask for water which should have already been on the table.
