We wanted a quick meal before going to the Savoy Theatre. The Lounge was very busy on a Saturday, early evening, but the staff let us use a table that was reserved for later in the evening which was very much appreciated. All the staff were friendly and efficient, the food was good and very well priced.

Met with an old friend at this restaurant which was recommended to us. Lovely food and great service from the friendly staff. Very dog welcoming downstairs (and plenty of areas where dogs are not allowed for those who aren't so keen on canines in restaurants. Spent a lovely relaxed afternoon here. I'd definitely go again.

We went here for dinner as it was one of the only places open in Monmouth on a Monday evening. The food here is overall good and is consistent in quality. I had the halloumi burger which was very nice, and the fries that come with it are always very good too. They recently changed the dishes they serve food in, which seems like a downgrade from the previous ones used as a lot of the new ones are already chipped and broken, which is a real shame. The service here is good and the people are friendly. Pretty good value for money, especially when certain deals are on such as Cheeky Monday.

Warm welcome from the lovely young woman at front of house set the scene. Great atmosphere with groups of people obviously enjoying themselves. Food and service great. A really tasty 'beefy' burger-best I've had in a long time. Seven of us including American relatives. We sat upstairs which would be my choice. Spacoious with plenty of room between tables. Music added to the fun atmosphere.

Nice place for breakfast. Service is quick and friendly. Ingredients are good quality and cooked well, tasty, although the eggs on both egg dishes were slightly overdone. The mushrooms and spinach were delicious. Two of us had pancakes 🥞 and they looked great and plates cleared. Both with bacon and syrup and the other with blueberries 🫐.

Visited Estero lounge today (Sunday lunchtime). Waited an hour for drinks and food. Watermelon ice tea was nice and a pint of Cruzcampo was good, kids drink was odd, like it had come from the staff room. I get the whole eco friendliness of paper straws also but these just dissolved before your drink is finished. When the food arrived it was so poor, rubbish value for money. The Philly ciabatta with chips (£12ish) was measly, hardly any beef, no discernable cheese in an over grilled ciabatta roll. The kids meal was equally poor, dried up peas served in a rusty mug, 3 nuggets and the tiniest portion of chips. The little touches are also poor, cheap and nasty ketchup from a burger van squeezy tomato. Not great at all, even more so because I regularly visit the Chepstow and Gloucester lounges.

I didnt expect raw prawns. I do love the Estero Lounge but sadly the only disappointment is the food menu. Yes I know its the same across the chain but across the chain it's the same problem....the food. It really lets the chain amd the place down. I really dont find it tasty or even good. It's below average. I cant fault the manager for apologising and refunding me for the food but raw prawns... ome on thats slack. The chilli isn't spicy and the slow cooked pork is just appauling..across the chain id love a fresh approach to tbe cusine. Sack the group chef or just go back to tbe drawing board and also give each lounge some autonomy or special anything and i mean anything something different steaks, peri chicken, decent portions. Start again I beg you

It’s not very often I leave a bad review, but I had an absolutely awful experience at Estero in Monmouth. Firstly, we were not greeted upon entry and waited for over 10mins before going to find a member of staff to actually see to us. The sign isn’t very accurate advising that they won’t be long. There was 8 of us (plus a baby) eating and each couple ordered separately via the QR code on the table. I would say we all ordered within the same 5 mins, but mine and my partners food arrived at least 15mins, possibly 20mins after everyone else’s which was not great. People did wait initially but we urged them to continue eating to save their meals going cold. By the time our food arrived, everyone else had finished eating. I ordered the fish finger sandwich which was firstly completely cold upon arrival, but the chips were boiling hot so can only assume the sandwich was left waiting for the chips to finish cooking. Inside the fish finger sandwich, there was literally 2 fish fingers, one and a half fish fingers per half. This is shocking, the rest of the sandwich was stuffed with lettuce which also tasted off and did not look good at all. I also ordered onion rings and these were stone cold and rock hard. I ate one and then didn’t bother with the rest. The toilets were in a terrible state, definitely not cleaned regularly as the signage in there suggests and there was also a literal human poo on the floor in the men’s in the toilet cubicle. We did report this to the staff who did apologise, but no one came to sort this in at least the half an hour from us reporting it to us leaving which is quite poor. The service was also really bad. We had a blonde waitress who had a multicoloured lanyard and she seemed to have no personality whatsoever. She slammed the food down upon arrival (not infront of the right person, more next to people for us to sort) and after this she walked off immediately and we couldn’t even get the chance to ask for sauces or anything as she was gone. Throughout the whole meal no one came to ask us how the food was or anything, and as you pre pay on the app there was no staff interaction at all after the food was dropped off. If this was paid for at the end of the meal, I would have objected to paying for the fish finger sandwich due to the fact it was stone cold and a complete rip off having 2 fish fingers in there. I would have also not paid for the onion rings as they were inedible. I left feedback from a email link and also separately emailed the restaurant but have had no one come back to me to even apologise. Based on my experience, I really would not reccomend going here at all.

Wow, The service here is always absolutely amazing the staff are always on point and nothing is ever too much trouble. I normally go with a large group of adults woth mixed abilities a group of 10+ without booking and the staff go above and beyond to help us find tables and settle. The food is also always tasty and we have had no really complaints, my only observation is for me the burgers are small so I add an extra burger in ans sometimes order extra chips as they come in a silly mug which us already half filled woth grease proof paper so on count you get about 12 to 14 chips sometimes less. Honestly though the food tastes great and is always fresh and hot. The chefs must be on fire in this heat. ( 29 degrees) Deserts are OK again rather small for the price and kinda average I'm my opinion but I know plenty that absolutely love them. I had the sticky toffee pudding, it was like a ginger cake with sauce rather then the better know sticky toffee pudding, definitely could have eaten two 😋 Drinks yep again always super great and made with love. Will be going back and highly recommend. We'll done and thank you to all staff it's no easy job and you always go the extra step.

We called for lunch whilst visiting Monmouth, led by the good reviews on Google. The overall experience was fine - speedy service, amiable staff & reasonable food for the money. The menu is an eclectic, cover-all offer of brunch dishes, tapas, burgers, grills etc, with kids & the coffee & cake clientele catered for also. It’s a big spot with a slightly odd, vintage style decor (granny sofas, faux portraits) & we were a bit put off initially by the number of tables still laden with the detritus of previous diners. Food was a mixed bag, ranging from poor to very tasty, but wines were good & prices reasonable.

Visited on a fairly busy day. Waited 40 mins for food which was communicated to us on ordering at the bar so no problem there The fish was good. Crisp batter and tasty. The burger was not so good. The patty was dry and dense. The bacon was so overdone that it flaked apart. The bun wasn't toasted so the bread was really soggy from the sauce and the onion rings were saturated with oil and were tough and very overcooked. Our party of four all had chips which were luke warm and dry. They tasted like an old batch and we all left them. For £18.50 for a burger and fries this was very poor.
