Horizon in Isle of Wight

Stayed Saturday 11/02/23 at The Brunswick Hotel for a Valentines Break. Booked directly with the Hotel which was seamless and very informative as to what to expect, and incidentally got a great deal because of this. The Afternoon Tea was delightful with an excellent selection especially the GF, only niggle was a Serrano Ham was used for a finger sandwiches, Cocktail choices again was excellent even ones not on menu were available. Evening Meal was faultless that is all that needs to be said Starters, Oysters in a Vietnamese Dressing (not on the menu but sorted by the Chefs) Beef Brisket Croquettes, Superb Fillet and Sirloin Steaks as good as anywhere we have eaten around the World Desserts to die for. Finally a big thank you to all the staff, Manager Jack, Ass Manager Dan our sever Ebs and an even bigger thank you to the unseen Chefs and Kitchen Staff who helped to make everything such a wonderful Experience and Memory We will be back

We had a very pleasant meal here, the menu is relatively small, which I think is a good thing, with enough choice offering a nice variety of food. Between three of us we had, a chicken, mackerel and twice baked soufflé starters. I was told the chicken was rather salty, my mackerel was very good. For main course we had, pork chop, steak and chicken supreme. We all had clean plates, which speaks for itself, the chicken was perfectly cooked, it came with what I would call creamed potatoes, although the menu said purée, leeks and a mushroom cream sauce. The steak came with onions on, my husband doesn’t like onions, so the plate was taken away and the steak flashed in a hot pan, this rid it of any onion taste but didn’t cause it to overcook. Dessert we tried a very rich chocolate and the mango sorbet. They have a good wine list, and on my request for cocktails they made those. The restaurant is in the Brunswick Hotel, and was busy on the Saturday when we went, so recommend booking. During summer there will be beautiful views as the hotel is situated on the cliff top.

We went as a couple and will go back with friends. The restaurant was busy but we never felt neglected. That staff were helpful and friendly. Horizons is a bit more ‘special’ than the average restaurant. Not somewhere to go if you want a lively night. A bit more select. I started with smoked mackerel pate and my husband had chicken liver pate. Both delicious and well presented. For my main course I had rump of lamb with red cabbage and creamy mash was was lovely (would have been even nicer with a sauce). My husband had sea bass which he thoroughly enjoyed. Sadly we didn’t have any room for pud but the baked Alaska looked very tempting. We will definitely revisit and when we feel like a treat.

The best Cheese n Wine Do! A fab taster Cocktail to start. We really enjoyed everything at The Brunswick Bodega evening, lovely cheeses paired with perfect accompaniments and wines. So all the flavours were flowing together and really delicious. It was also a very informative evening and great fun. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. Followed by a lovely night's stay with a perfect breakfast.

We (a grouip of 8) stayed at the Brunswick Hotel for 3 nights & on the first night, being a tad tiered, decided to use the hotels restaurant, the 'Horizon'. To be honest, hotel restaurant expereinces are not all good & we would normally look for a restaurant elswhere. But, on this occassion; we were glad we visited the Horizon restaurant in the Brunswick Hotel. The food is simply lovely, great presentation, great flavours & great value whilst sitting in a pleasent location looking over the water. On our second night we visted a Burns night supper, but on the 3rd we again chose to use the Horizon restaurant. We again normally prefer to try new experiences, but the food & the ambiance is so good, we had to eat at the Horizon again. Two of our party, including me, are Ceoliac (Gluten Intollerant) & treat all dining out with some trepidation. We were only too happy to visit the Horizon Restaurant on two occasions confident that our dietry needs were being looked after by the restaurant, leaving us to relax & enjoy the food & the ambiance. I strongly recommmend that if you live in or are planning to stay in Shanklin, book a table at the Horizon Restaurant: It is a delight.

We booked a table of 4 adults for the cheese and wine evening and had the best time. The staff were super friendly and couldn’t have been more attentive, the cocktail guy was really quick and rustled up some awesome drinks and the cheese and wine presentation was professional and informative. Fantastic evening we would highly recommend.

Unfortunately we did not stay here but came for an evening meal, next time we are in Shanklin we will be staying here, amazing place. The staff are lovely and the food was fantastic, a huge thank you to the chef, amazing food and the service was brilliant. What a great location too, amazing hotel.

We had a lovely dinner at the Horizon, the best restaurant we went too in Shanklin. I had a lovely pea and mint soup followed by a fantastic cod. My partner had a lemon sole which he said was the best he ever ate. Staff was very nice too so all in all when you have something to celebrate and want something extraordinary, go to the Horizon, you won't regret it.

Enjoyed an excellent meal with great vegetarian dishes Lovely setting and views are fabulous My only criticism would be on booking I was not convinced my reservation had been noted and on checking discovered this was the case It would have been a big disappointment to arrive to this! Restaurant staff are all lovely but need to relax and perhaps engage a bit more they looked terrified!!! Didn’t spoil it at all and would return and definitely recommend

The meal we had here was delicious. The menu offered some unusual dishes. Everything was tasty and presented well. The views of the sea from the restaurant are lovely

Nice food, Promt service and very welcoming service people💙💙💙 - Salmon dish - perfectly fresh.! Pork medallions- equally perfect! And my Sirloin Steak is rarely DIVINE.! Thank you for looking after even though we don’t have Bookings.. Walk-ins Customer. Keep up everyone.!

It has been a long time since we have experienced a restaurant of this quality with presentation second to none. The staff made us feel valued from the outset, the menu is paperless with a unique, tasty and exciting choice of dishes beautifully presented. The evening was a special experience and we have booked a return visit for a birthday celebration.

Staff under manager Daniele excellent. As we are vegetarians they really prepared meals for us. Room clean and warm. I would say 4star service for the price of 3star. Can’t go wrong. Will visit again in future. 🎈

Good food, friendly staff, excellent for 3 star. Moved from 3* opposite for an infinitely better experience. Staff worked hard to fet us exclusive room with balcony and shared common suite with one other. This made it better.

The entrance was scruffy and the main dining room was basic. Unusual menu, nothing really to my liking as I prefer simple British fare. Very small portions with extortionate prices. I think the chef was trying too hard to impress. Dishes had wierd add ons. I ordered shepherds pie which came in a saucepan about 2 ins in diameter and 2 ins deep. The meat was 'pulled' lamb which was compressed, not nice at all. Would have been better if we had gone down onto the beach for a meal.

So we decide to try this restaurant out, firstly when we walked in greeted by the duty manager and shown to the lounge area for drinks and thought this all looks nice and they have a rosette for their food. There was only around 14...

Most delicious breakfast yet, and the friendliest of staff that look after you with visible care The pastry is fresh and flaky, everything looks and tastes fresh. Honestly what a pleasure ❤️
