Well-regarded hotel restaurant with a superb bayside view. There are lots of tables in a variety of configurations in this two-tiered room. Quite busy when we arrived, but a reservation secured us a spot in the premium position.
The a la carte menu doesn't seem...to change much but it does run in parallel with a more diverse table d'hote option which is essentially for those on half board. If you fancy the latter rather than the former, just ask.
Like most coastal restaurants, there's a big fish bias on the menu so the meat options are rather limited.
We visited twice, and as a dedicated carnivore, I had basically the same meal on both occasions. The starter of fruit, cheese and ham was ample and refreshing. I also enjoyed a main course of honey glazed grilled beef slices. Whilst certainly generous, the beef needed rather more accompanying sauce than was originally provided. I can always manage a dessert and the creamy tiramisu was better value than the chocolate torte experienced on my first visit.
There's a massive wine list and the range meant that it was possible to find some reasonably priced nuggets.
Staff were very efficient, and the guy serving fish at neighbouring tables lent an aura of theatre as he flamboyantly sorted out the flesh from the bone.
Plenty of time to drink in the atmosphere here as a three course meal took over 2 hours on each occasion, and no one was being served any quicker than us
The bill is exactly what you would expect in a hotel of this quality, and there is no other restaurant locally that engages in this slightly elevated form of dining.More
