Excellent! Eaten here several times - always very high standard. Welcoming, friendly,great atmosphere and nothing too much trouble! Also do gift vouchers!

Never failed to come away having had great food, well served ale and met a familiar face. Conservatory is a nice venue with open aspects. Well worth the run out.

We chose a quiet night as it can get busy at weekends. Cannot complain about the food, price or service. Enjoy the beer as it is well served in this establishment. A place you could comfortably stay for the whole evening.

Awful Service!!! Having visited the Dalton rooms a number of times since its opening, I have always been happy with the food, but slightly dissatisfied with the service, I however left this down to starting up, teething problems, with any business it takes time to develop a good team of staff, as a bar in the evenings it always has a great atmosphere with a huge range of good beers and wines. After my most recent visit however I am in no hurry to go back. We entered the restaurant, without being greeted by any of the numerous staff stood around in conversation. We sat at a table and ordered our food and some drinks. The wait for our starters was fine, and were very enjoyable, we were not however wished an enjoyable meal. The plates were cleared away in a timely manner after we had finished, although we were not asked if everything was ok with our starters. Following this our main courses were brought out, the mash potato has gone hard on the outside, like it had been cooked in a microwave or left under a hot plate for a long time. Once again we were not wished an enjoyable meal, at no point throughout the meal were we offered any more drinks, which were both empty by the time the main courses arrived, or asked if everything was ok. When we had finished, our plates were not cleared away for 20 minutes and we would have quite liked to order a desert but this was also never offered. I can understand a lack of attention to customers during busy periods, but we were the only table eating at the time, and all the staff were stood around chatting, One staff member stood very close to our table, told one of the bar staff very loudly he was starting his shift at 6pm, was still stood around chatting at 6.20 with his coat and hat on. When I got up to pay our bill, we were not asked at any point if everything had been ok with our meals and were just handed the bill. Overall very sloppy service.

Simply a wonderful Italian restaurant to have so close to us. One of if not the best we have been to for a long time. We live local and indeed own the the Kingfisher Cafe Bar @ Reedley Marina so we like to think we know a good one when we find it.

For that "something special" occasion is how I would describe this flamboyant exquisite place. It offers beautifully styled & spacious dining areas with highly trained waiting on staff & high caliber chefs who produce food for the gods. A "must try" place. You will not regret it.

Another lovely Saturday lunch at The Beaumont. Always a friendly welcome and extensive choice of food.

A vibrant atmosphere coupled with excellent menu choice. Well presented dishes cooked in authentic & traditional methods. Well worth a visit.

I frequent this restaurant with my family & friends. On every occasion we all have had an enjoyable time. The food is consistently excellent, full of flavour, presented well & freshly cooked. I look forward to going there at every opportunity.

A truly enjoyable experience. You are made to feel special by the attentive staff as soon as you arrive. The food is more than your typical Italian cuisine offering their signature dishes as well as well known favourites.

The food looks good, but I couldn't access the restaurant as it is on the first floor of a building, requiring stair access. I went with a wheelchair user who couldn't access the restaurant and so couldn't sample the menu. I appreciate that the design of the building doesn't allow wheelchair access, but it would have been helpful if the website could have reflected this.

I visited the Italian Cottage, with friends on the 19th January. I found the vegetarian options very appealing, the meal tasty and the service great. I went back to the Italian Cottage last night, 26th January, with my partner. As we sat waiting for our meal, my partners mobile phone rang. This was a business call, not personal and he kept the call brief. In disbelief, the lady that we believe to be the manager came over to our table and in a loud, condescending tone told, did not ask, my partner to turn his phone onto silent. We were so embarrassed. My partner almost walked out, but we stayed for our meal. My partner asked if they would cook his meal again because it was too salty, the staff said that it was too salty because my partner had put too much Parmesan cheese on it!! I work for LCC, all my work colleagues carry mobiles for business purposes and I will be advising them very strongly not to eat at this restaurant!

Dreadful! 4 of us booked for the 7 course taster menu at 8pm. At 11pm we were still waiting for the 5th course. The reply from front of house staff was "the chef has to prepare each dish individually." This is usually the case in such establishments! The food was unremarkable but the service dreadful/rude and as such made for a regrettable experience. If people are able to apologies instead of make feeble excuses it is much more acceptable. Particularly when paying ~£100 per head. It seemed unusual with the chef rushed off his feet that he had time to walk around his establishment, notably taking no interest in whether his guests were enjoying their dinning experience. Here for an end to supposed quality establishments where the front of house staff are not up to scratch. Pay peanuts get monkeys!

Stay well clear. The old female manager is damn right rude. She shouted at me and this upset me and my granchild.

Used to eat at the Sitting Goose a couple of years ago. Unfortunately on arrival last night the dining area was very cold and we would have had to sit with our coats on. Although they did put the heating on. So we decided to sit in the main bar area. The whole place including the menus looked very tired and uninviting. It didn't help with the view of the disabled toilet from our table and when moving our table, the line of chewing gum, underneath caught on my hands, yuk ! Sorry but we will not be returning.

Found Smiths Arms in the fog last night, Not our first choice but the pub we had intended to go to has a long way to go to meet the standards at the Smiths. On arrival we were greeted and welcomed by the barman as we made our way to the dining area. The food was served in good time and the portions and quality were brilliant. The staff were very polite and friendly and the lady, who we presume was the owner, ensured we were all ok. The only minor disappointment was the coffee which tasted a little like "vending" machine coffee. All in all, excellent food at good prices with good service. We will certainly be returning again - brilliant - thank you.

First time visit to this venue and had a fantastic meal. The beef in blackbean sauce from the "sizzler" menu was excellent. Very friendly welcome from all the staff, and excellent service. In conclusion, Great staff, great food at sensible prices and highly recommended.

We didn't book but may be best to as it was very busy at lunchtime on a Saturday, we got the last restaurant table. A bar menu and a restaurant menu had most options covered though you had to eat bar food in the bar, which was ok as the bar menu has sandwiches and meals on it, so if one wants a sandwich and the other more of a meal then you are ok on this menu. The tables in the bar are very low though. Service was good considering how busy it was. We were overcharged but quickly and professionally rectified, a genuine mistake as we did a 2 course from one menu and a starter from another, so it was a bit complicated admittedly. If using sat nav once iit says you are there and you can,t see it....go a bit further down the road. Overall we enjoyed it, it is quite an experience, the layout of the bar, central, is one of only 3 in England. Worth a trip.
