Lacu Restaurant Windermere in South Lakeland

Decided to book here after seeing the menu advertised on Google. I would suggest not advertising a restaurant if you do not want external guests dining in your establishment! From the second we stepped foot in the building we were looked up and down and made to feel very unwelcome. We wanted to leave but with it already being 7.30pm we’d left it quite late for dinner so decided to see it through. We had filthy looks from the staff throughout the less than 60 minutes we endured. The food was average, lamb still had string on it and was very over cooked. We were given the option for dessert to which we responded ‘no’ for the waiter to signal a thumbs up to the front of house who proceeded to smile knowing we were soon to leave. We asked for the bill, paid and left straight away. Absolutely gutted we spent our last night here and will never EVER return. Disgusting treatment in what looked like a train station waiting room.

We are currently staying at the hotel & decided to eat in tonight after a long drive today. It was terrible, we booked dinner for 6.30 , there were 4 of us in the restaurant . I ordered Rib eye steak ( not cheap either) and it was cold & chewy, my husband had the chicken which he said was ok. Our sides came after the main meal , we sent them back.. We have another 2 nights here but will find somewhere else to eat

Visited the restaurant while staying at the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was imaginative, well cooked and very well presented. Excellent evening.

We had a really great evening here when staying at the hotel - the absolute highlight of the hotel. Food is reasonable priced and the menu had so many great options, we struggled to pick. Could have easily eaten there a few nights in a row without eating the same thing twice.
