Popped in for dinner with the kids the week before Christmas for late afternoon early evening food. Venue was lively, very Christmassy and we were promptly seated with drinks ordered. 10 mins later no drinks and they had to be chased. Starters were ordered and turned up within a reasonable time, but the mains were rushed out almost as soon as the starters were cleared. The same happened with the dessert menu's, and it all felt a bit rushed hectic when all we wanted to do was relax. Food was however of a decent quality and tasty, but the portions were pretty small, especially for those of us with a bigger appetite. Server was polite and helpful and the bill was reasonable for what we had. Overall I probably would return, but nothing to particulalry shout out about it could have been better.
Beautiful surroundings .nice to sit outside weather permitting but that'd as far as it goes.Service slow.The food definitely not up to any kind of star rating. I ordered vegetarian cottage pie with greens and sweet potato. When it arrived we had to check it was what I had ordered.Mixed greens covered over half the plate, red wine gravy a quarter of the plate and the some kind of pastry pie with a spoonful of dried cracked sweet potato on the top, tasteless would definitely not recommend this place for food. There are many good places to eat in St Albans which are worthy of your money, this was not one.
I had a turkey roast here and I was extremely disappointed, I will say that other people seemed to enjoy it, but for the price, I thought it was very poor, bullet like potatoes, tough gristly slabs of turkey, carrot (yes singular) was the only nice thing. The premises are nice and the staff were lovely if not entirely competent. I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely I will ever go there again. I didn't complain at the time as it's Christmas and didn't want to cause a scene, and as I said, some liked it.
Beautiful venue, as ever, but staff could risk a smile. The food is fine, but whole experience could be improved by the staff pretending to at least be hospitable
Late lunch with friends just after Christmas. Lovely ambience, gorgeous food and excellent service. Highly recommend.
