Restuarant at the Marina Holiday Inn Hull in Kingston upon Hull, City of

My husband and I visited the restaurant today hoping to have lunch with a view to making a future reservation for 16 people for a Birthday celebration. My husband and I stood in the reception area of the restaurant for 7 minutes waiting to be seated. It was clear that the staff knew that we were waiting as we were the only people awaiting a table but nobody even acknowledged our presence. Not surprisingly, given this level of poor service, the place was almost empty at lunchtime on a Bank Holiday. We walked out in disgust and made the reservation elsewhere which provided the kind of service that we are accustomed to. Shame on The Holiday Inn. This is the second shoddy experience I've had with the Holiday Inn and I've only been to two of them!!

Staff were very helpful from check in to check out, we will stay here again. Hull is much improved these days and once the area around the Marina and the new bridge opened it will be even better.

I had nice time with my friend in this restaurant. But the drink was late. In general the price was ok. Totally. I can recommend it..

Nice food - excellent service at both the restaurant, and bar. Megan and Mark were very helpful, and an asset to the hotel.

100% recommend the advice of mark in the resturant who was perfect and very knowledgeable about the menus

Evening meals were served quickly, hot and well presented, served by staff with happy smiling faces. Buffet breakfast was excellent full English,Continental plenty of choice.

lovely staff good gluten free and vegiy opions .Friendly staff who know there stuff large oopen eating area.

The menu is a limited one but what we ordered was good, 1st night Fish and chips outfaised me, it was huge, the place was clean and the staff as with all the hotel employees were good at their jobs, Jade Restaurant it was a pleasure to meet you. Keep up the good work.

Visited the Holiday Inn on the Marina in Hull to celebrate a friends 60th birthday. There was 17 people. There was plenty of delicous food, all served in little wooden boxes. I liked that it was different. A good selection of sandwhiches which were cut into small squares. Mini cheese tarts.. cheese scones... sausage rolls...as much tea and coffee as we wanted...(the service was good..) 2 glass flutes per person, one with a delightful jelly and the other with a lemon mousse which was very light. Macaroons and of course scone with jam and clotted cream. Sat outside enjoying watching boats coming and going. A very pleasant afternoon. Every enjoyed themselves.

Once I'd sorted thing out at the reception everything was Ok on the food front. the service and food were to a very high standard

They had a George Michael tribute band on, so we had the 1st meal in a suite, not ideal. Food quantity is good, food variety limited on the set menu. Breakfast pretty average buffet. Restaurants nearby look a better choice, shops close so breakfast would be better eaten out

We were staying at the hotel for a college reunion and wanted somewhere to have a meal where we would be able to enjoy a leisurely meal and chat. The food we had was well presented and tasty and our server (Mark) was delightful. All in all a lovely evening.

Stayed overnight recently and enjoyed dinner in the main restaurant, which had a pretty wide ranging menu with the usual options, plus some 'homemade' type food and a small menu for the kids. The staff were really good throughout, and this followed through to breakfast, where there was a multi-course buffet offer available. The restaurant has decent views over the marina and I definitely wouldn't hesitate in returning.

Only ate breakfast but choice and quality was really very good! Service throughout the hotel was 10/10

The breakfast area overlooks the Marina so has a great outlook. Food was very good, and plenty of variety. Only down side was the breakfast plates were cold, a pet hate of mine when having a full English hot breakfast. Staff were very good and attentive and would supply additional tea and coffee when needed. The cost of the breakfast was very good and would recommend you try it out if staying at the hotel, or indeed in the area.

Nice place to eat befor your night out if your staying in the Hotel the menu is not fussy but works, for what you need to get your night started

We ate in the restaurant on our first evening and the staff were helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The menu was varied and catered for most tastes.

Tenía una cena más tarde con un par de compañeros para un pescado tradicional y patatas fritas. El pescado era abadejo y tenía un increíble sabor y disfrutamos de las patatas fritas grande con el vinagre de malta. No me di cuenta de guisantes blandos son tradicionales con este plato que tardaron unos segundos pero se convirtió en agradable con mi paladar canadiense.

Me fui con un grupo de trabajo desde el jueves 18 de julio para el té de la tarde.

Enjoyed my meal here ,not the biggest of meals but tasty,nice place very comfy staff not to bad,one of the staff was a bit ignorant, but you get that any were,

We stayed here for two night's and had meals in restaurant we paid for our food on the meal package when we booked,on the Saturday we ate in a smaller room because there was a wedding in the main resturant,the food was very good on both night's with a good choice of starters and main's,the breakfast was the usual we have come to expect at an holiday inn,the staff were all very well trained and looked after us very well.

There was a nice selection of moderately priced food. Complete with a full bar, the restaurant is comfortable and has lovely service. Try the chicken Kiev- tender and perfectly prepared. If you are lucky, Mark will be your server- he his attentive and a real joy.

This isn't a fine dining experience but is good for a hotel bar / restaurant. The staff are always really friendly and can't do enough for you.

Stayed for 2 nights, stayed for a rod Stewart concert. Great hotel good position great view of marina, very helpful staff selina reception good check in. Great food had burger and my husband the steak pie, good quality meat tasty meals, good selection of breakfast nice friendly staff. Think waitress was Maria or moira (didn't have my glasses) Also got late Check out

The food was fine and reasonably priced as part of the meal package. There was plenty to choose and the service was good.

Had room service on the night went for club sandwich was reasonably priced and quite satisfying. Went for breakfast in the morning a pretty standard buffet style

Used while on a Weekend Break; Good choice;Friendly and helpful Staff.....A bit pricey buy quality ect was good;

A pretty underwhelming experience overall, the service was okay, however I found the restaurant environment a little cold and clinical. This visit was with a voucher (Starter and Main course) Starter - the smallest Bruschetta I have ever seen! Main - Pork served with vegetables and potatoes, very small portions! Didn't appreciate being charged £8:50 for a 250ml glass of wine! Well done I will not be returning, a very successful exercise in how to disenchant potential customers.

Visited on Saturday night and despite being one of only 3 tables at 7.30pm there appeared to be very little left from the menu. When we were seated we were greated with a list of items that were 'not available' which included almost everything although we were told that the chef could do us something else if we wished. After ordering from the now very limited menu we had a short wait for food. Starters were lovely. The waiter who served us through out the night was lovely. Very chatty and he definately made up for the mediocre evening.I had my main meal altered twice after ordering after being told that they didn't have what I had asked for which was a shame as what I ended up with really was nothing special and not worth the hefty price tag we ended up paying despite the fact I only ate half and brought this to the attention of the staff. Wine was £6 a glass which if the food had been up there would not have been an issue. Overall I felt really disappointed. We weren't staying at the holiday inn but chose to come over to the restaurant after hearing good reviews. Now feel like we wasted a chance to have a lovely meal together.The restaurant itself is beautiful and the views are incredible. However the food really let it down.

The food is very good, but service very poor. To wait for a starter of a bowl of olives for over 20 minutes, and main courses an hour is not good.A limited food range but well cooked is good but the wine list is mainly not available unless you want the basics. I ordered 3 different wines to be told over a 30 minute period they weren't available, so reverted to, "what is available?" and eventually was served.The manager was rude to us, and having turned up at 6.45pm ( it opened at 6.30pm) was told "you just scraped in " despite only 2 tables being occupied, and then left us standing at the entrance and didn't show us to a table.5 minutes later a waitress took us to a table.Food quality was good, but be warned if you want a quick meal then this is not for you.We were compensated with both our starter and 10% automatic food service charge being removed from the bill.

Excellent menu. Food well presented. Staff very friendly.Good ambience.Nice atmostphere.Breakfast buffet style

I decided that I would join TripAdvisor to share my fantastic experience at the Holiday Inn restaurant on Hull marina that we visited on Thursday 10th September 2015.My Wife and I chose the Holiday Inn to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our Grandparents and am so very glad that we did. The setting on the marina is lovely. There is a kind of veranda area that gives great views over the water which makes it a very relaxing experience. The dining area is clean and well set out.I decided to have the squid as a starter.that was absolutely delicious. My Wife and Grandad had the pulled pork as a starter which they loved. Our Grandmother loved her prawn cocktail but it was so large she could not eat it all. The rest of us ate everything.For the main course it was the sirloin steak for all four of us. Three of us asked for our steaks to be cooked medium to well done with the other medium rare. They were cooked exactly as ordered and came with chips, a flat mushroom and tomatoes. Simply the best steak I have ever had. The chef Jo Boothe did such a good job that we ate it all leaving our plates clean. She obviously is passionate about her food and it shows. We also had the pleasure of meeting her.Service was without fault. It was speedy pleasant and the service staff never left us wanting ever, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The opinion from everyone in our group was that it was the best food and service we had ever experienced. We will be back.Congratulations to Jo and the team for making our anniversary such a nice and memorable night.

Went on Tuesday night having taken advantage of a groupon deal. We had a choice of where to sit as we were the first diners although a few more soon followed.We sat at the window side directly overlooking the marina and I must say how tranquil and pleasant the surroundings are.It was a 'Table d'hote' menu on the deal with about four choices of starter and main course.I chose the soup which was fresh tomato with a bread roll, OH had the chicken liver pate both dishes were of a large size and excellent quality. For main course I had pork with black pudding and apple and OH had cod loin. Again both dishes were excellent. A bottle of house wine was also included in the deal.We were served by a very pleasant young lady and the whole experience was first class and excellent value on the deal.

staff very helpful.lots of choice.stayed two nights. helpful staff.large meals. both evening meal and breakfast.

Good meal enjoyed by both, groupon so would have been expensive otherwise. Weekday so mostly business trade

Food good, lunch time service poor, waited a long time and they were not that busy. Evening meal was much better service much quicker.

Booked here as had a gourmet card with 25% off food and drinks! But would not have booked without the discount.Lovely view of the marina, waiting staff very pleasant.Starters £5.50 each, nothing special. Soup watery.Main courses varied. Had breast of duck, quite tough very mean portion of veg and I thought potato was possibly warmed up. £16. Husband had very small rump steak with tiny bucket of skinny chips £17. Very disappointed with the sweet, Eton mess £4.50 started well, looked good but was all whipped cream, very little fruit and only 3 tiny balls of meringues on the top! Was expecting more in the cream. My Pepsi cost more than husbands Budweiser. 10% service charge was added onto the total I know this is optional but it should be an option before its added not afterwards! Think this restaurant aims its prices at the business man on expenses not the first passing public.

Good menu and excellent food. Comfortable seating in the bar after dinner. Faultless staff especially Sam. Breakfast is buffet style all you can eat. Full English and continental.

Popped in and sampled the new bar menu which now has a much better selection. Ordered the 8oz rump steak which was perfectly cooked medium just as requested and tasted great. The Fish n chips was huge and very fresh. Not the cheapest bar meals but worth it for the quality and general ambiance.

We decided to book a table and eat here having had glowing recommendations from friends who live in the city. They said it was 'a must' to eat there. When we arrived we ordered drinks and were told we were eating in the Myton Suite. This sounded very grand but sadly it turned out to be a cold and clinical white box of a room with absolutely no atmosphere and a fire door onto the car park! We were the only 2 diners in the place at 8pm on a Sunday night! Not the right ambience for a romantic dinner and where was the 'marina'? The staff did not offer us an alternative, and we later found out it would have been fine to eat in the lounge/bar looking out over the boats on the lovely evening. The food was just average. The waiter offered us a free drink when we voiced our disappointment, but it was too little, too late. The evening was ruined for us. A member of the reservation team has been in touch but we are still waiting for someone from the restaurant to get back to us.

The food choice and quality has improved a lot since last visit oct2014. Fish pie is my favourite of late. But even breakfast has improved.

We actually stayed at the Holiday Inn Marina in November 2013. They had a desert called an apple chimicanga that was wonderful. It wasn't on the menu when were were there in July, so it was a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully it will be back when we do in Sept 2015

Went for meal with hubby, service was nice & friendly, tables set nice & simple, lovely view next to the marina, the food was nice & tasty I had the salmon & spinach tartlet which was very good, hubby hadMushroom soup, I had the hake which was well cooked,'hubby had sausage & mash which was a little disappointing, sausages over cooked & mash a little over worked. We then sat in the bar area to relax which was a nice way of finishing the night.

All the staff so attentive and friendly would definately recommend. Nothing seemed like too much trouble and we had a very tired baby with us on arrival !!!!!

We were on a Groupon voucher and we replaced the wine with soft drinks. The menu was limited but the food was presented beautifully and was really tasty.The staff was really polite and directed us to sit on the window side with great view to enjoy the food.It was an enjoyable experience eating at a hotel restaurant.

Went here on a Groupon Deal, expected more.1) When we reserved out table a few days earlier their was a request section, we'd asked if (because we where driving) we could swap the included bottle of wine for a soft drink each.When we arrived, we where the only customers, but the staff member told us, nobody would have looked at the request box & no way could we swap this!! We did'nt mind buying the soft drinks, but why have the request box if it was going to be ignored. 2) The meal choice starters & main course was very limited, we where told by the staff it was put together especially for groupon customers only! Others who came into the restaurant who where not on a groupon deal had a much wider & better choice. 3) Portion's where small & No vegetables included.Food itself was ok,both presentation & taste, though nothing special or exciting. 4) Staff where pleasant & polite,though not particularly helpful, Restaurant setting Decor etc was all a little Bland, Great Potential at the side of the water, but unfulfilled. We often stay at Holiday Inn's (Particularly Tadcaster Road York, & are members of the IHG Club), but whilst not awful, this was not a positive memorable experience, we expected better, even if we where on a Groupon Deal, the Deal gave us to believe we where being offered the Normal Guest Choice of Meals but at a discount, not the reduced, cheaper Menu Just for Groupon Guests. Won't be back here!!

Went midweek with a Groupon deal. Excellent service and staff were great. Food was top notch. Will definitely be returning.

A great midweek meal for 2 had at the holiday inn on the marina, hull. The waitress we had was lovely and very accommodating. The food we opted for was a good size and very tasty. A strange place to go for a random meal but we very much enjoyed it.

This is a gem of a restaurant, service friendly and quick, that is in the bar and restaurant, I use this place three times a week, and never had a bad experience yet. Ok,,, once the steak was a bit tough, but it happens sometimes to any eaterie. I recommend the sea bass, the broth could be a dish on its own, delicious. New pudding menus too now, working through them right now.

We had a meal at the holiday inn hull marina the food and service was excellent cannot recommend this enough will be back again soon

Had a three course meal that was beautifully presented, plentiful and hot. I chose salmon fish cakes for my starter, fish, chips and peas for my main and apple and rhubarb tart for dessert. Every course was excellent. I would highly recommend eating here

We decided touse the restaurant here on our first night at Marina. We had seen they had won awards so thought it would be reasonable good.My husband ordered the Sausage and Mash - the mash was tasteless and the sausages so peppery they were inedible. I ordered the rump steak, bearnaise sauce, skinny fries and a portion of onion rings. The onion rings were totally raw in the middle, the steak which I ordered medium rare (instead of my usual blue) was cold and like boot leather. The Bearnaise sauce tasted of vinegar and was not what I have come to expect of a Bearnaise sauce. Admittedly, when we complained they did not charge us for the meal. However, the next morning the breakfast included in our room rate was also cold and really not very appetising. The following morning, rather than serve from the hot plate the breakfast was cooked to order so at least they listened to something! I have to say the staff were exceptional and politeness itself but the food......thanks but no thanks!

Liked everything disliked having to leave There was also a wedding going on which made a lovely atmosphere aswell

The welcome at any restaurant is important and by the time I had settled into my seat I was being addressed as Mr Terry by both Kelly and Sam, a very nice touch. The Garlic Mushroom starter was great, but the Louisiana Spicy Chicken dish, was superb, very hot and spicy, in fact I had to have two scoops of ice cream to cool me down, just a perfect meal. On my next visit, James looked after me well but I was beaten by the Smoked Salmon bubble and squeak starter and the Fish Pie, excellent but just too much.Very good ambience and service, will be back.

Albeit we booked this as a Groupon we felt like we were treated differently to full paying public, now don't get me wrong that's not a criticism but this would have been the ideal opportunity for the restaurant/hotel to show what they could do so that we returned as full paying customers

Went on a groupon. Was lovely fab value great food and staff. I'm gluten free and they actually could cater properly for me. We enjoyed the meal the wine was ok. Only thing could have done with was music and gluten free pud. Would return

We used a groupon voucher to get a two course meal + wine for under £20. This was great value. My wife had the parma ham and I have the mushroom and cheese mini Baggett. They were both excellent. For the main course I had the chicken breast and my wife fish and chips. They arrive hot and delicious The win was a rose which was very good indeed. As always here the service was excellent . We will be coming here again with or without a groupon coupon.

First visit to this restaurant and was pleased with the food quality and the service. Tables near the window overlook the moored boats in the Marina. Drinks were expensive though, over £18 for a bottle of house wine. Also, it was disappointing to have a 10% service charge added to the bill, I would rather leave a tip for the waitress.

Me and the wife went on a Groupon and would have no worries going back, the food was cooked and presented very well and more importantly tasted great.service was adequate and the surroundings very nice, they have a free car park but remember to get the code to leave.on the whole a very pleasant evening give it a go.

The food we ordered was not anywhere near up to par when something is described as spicy and comes out and is mild at best you're not on to a good start then if the crispy golden batter is not golden and soggy, they offer you a free dessert to make up for it and then don't have it, the only saving grace was the brilliant waitress

Bought a Groupon voucher for a Meal for four with wine and had a great time.Food though did come with a bit of plastic in the Roulade but the staff were very apologetic and took the drinks off the bill.Good value on a Groupon but may be a little pricey for a normal visit especially the wine but this is Holiday Inn thing not just here being a frequent visitor.Great location by the Marian too and they could make a killing with the right menu!

Well we were not that early but they accommodated us on a large table, the food was very good and the service, when not serving yourself was very pleasant. Overlooking the harbour it was a joy and to be with friends even better.

The serving staff in this restaurant are outstanding! Really friendly and very helpful. They are the strength of the place as the food is borderline mediocre. I had the Yorkshire grill which was drowning in the butter sauce. It was reasonably tasty but I'm not sure how fresh the meat was. Tasted as if it was frozen. Nevertheless, for a hotel it was reasonably priced and certainly filled a hole! The second night I ate at Nando's across the road and enjoyed it.

Nice way of presenting the menu and quick and delicious food. Several goods wines on the winelist and a nice view on the marina

It can be presumed that the restaurants in large 'chain' hotels are rather dull and unimaginative - but this is a different experience. A window table, overlooking the adjacent marina dock adds to the pleasure of a remarkably extensive menu, with many options at fair prices, in a smart modern setting with attentive and friendly service.

Haven't been here since the 'lobster and strawberry' summer 6 week special many years ago before Holiday Inn took over!I must say our Holiday inn meal this Sunday evening was first class. Hayley our waitress was a true credit to both herself and the establishment. She made sure we enjoyed our dining experience in every way. I asked her for the chefs names as credit is due and it was Sam and William at the helm. The food....the prawn asparagus spinach starter was delicious and the accompanying garlic bread was crazy good omg! The steak was perfectly medium/rare cooked with oodles of real cream peppercorn and onion sauce. The Salmon was pure, simple and quality. The duck simply excelled. Sooooo tender and so tasty. The way it was served on the bed of select vegetables with drizzled sauce was true Ramsey style and complemented the duck perfectly! The restaurant is modern and fresh with big windows onto boats docked in the marina. Really nice surroundings. Overall a great dining experience.

Good simple food served late home made soup and freshly cooked fish just right for late arrival after travelling a long way

Not readily accessible from Hull City centre, but worth a look. large restaurant ,with reasonable range on the menu , which changes each month. Not the cheapest , but food is always of a high standard and the service is good too. Look out for some of the specials. They are good value. Window tables give you a great view of the marina.We have been several times and will be there again this summer.

Visited the restaurant on a groupon offer. Was very impressed by the quality of the food the wine included in the offer and the service we received. Would recommend the hake fish and chips. The minted mushy peas were the best my sister and I had every tasted. The waitress was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable evening and would definitely recommend.

We visited the restaurant at the Holiday Inn, Hull Marina, simply because I'd taken up a Groupon offer. Ordinarily this is not a place that would be on my radar for a meal out. The restaurant is light and airy overlooking the marina, with seating available outside too. The tables are all laid out in a contemporary style. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. On the offer we had a shortened version of the a la carte menu. I had mushroom and goats cheese starter with red onion relish which was delicious. My husband had chicken terrine, again very good. The main courses were beautifully presented; I had chicken with parma ham with saute potatoes, my husband had pork with cajun seasoning. Both were excellent.My only disappointment was the dessert which was described as a lemon sherbert baked alaska on a pecan and biscuit base with caramelised meringue. It was just a slice of frozen lemon meringue pie, not quite the gastronomic delight I'd built up in my mind.The offer was excellent value and included a bottle of wine between two people. On the whole it was a very good meal in a convivial setting and close enough to the shops for a post-shopping experience (which is what we did). I would certainly use the restaurant if I were a guest in the hotel, or perhaps for a business meeting, just not sure I liked it enough to go again just for dinner.

There was a wedding on the night we stayed which we were forwarned about but the staff still made sure we were well looked after. Great food, friendly atmosphere.

First of all, the staff are wonderful! (Hi Mark!!)Most have been there for some years.Breakfast was fantastic - as always.This year I was slightly disappointed with the evening menu choices? Nothing terrible, but just nothing to excite me.The beef rib was good; the burrito was extremely hot - I burnt my mouth!!I stay in HI a lot, and have used this hotel and restaurant for 20 years.

Evening meal - excellent.Breakfast - Poached eggs undercooked (some of the white was raw) but otherwise good choice.

It was all good and well cooked,as usual. We normally go out when we stay at holiday inns but as this was a one off stay we chose the snacks and very tasty too.

I dined at this restaurant as I was staying at the hotel. The weather was so bad I didn't have a chance to get out so I ate here, and it was ok. I had a chicken dish, some wine and a banoffee pie, and all of it was what I was expecting from this hotel. Average sums it up. Don't race here if there's another place you can eat, but as a last resort, or if you're staying in the hotel, it'll do. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but when you're stuck in the middle ground, as I am on this, reviews tend to be dull!

excellent food and real ale . log fire in lounge and friendly bar staff . look for the cosy little lounge .

The food , the view, the staff all are just wow . Just imagine having food and sipping a nice wine overlooking a Marina Bay.

Wonderful choices with perfectly cooked food. We had dinner and also breakfast the following morning and both were really delicious.

Food choices were adequate and service was excellent. It was a business trip so I wasn't looking for "atmosphere" as I had a lot of work to do into each evening there. Just what was needed at the time I needed it.

I went with quite a large group (12 people) at lunchtime and although we had prebooked, the bar was closed and we had a struggle to find anyone to serve us drinks before lunch. The whole restaurant had a somewhat deserted feeling about it.

Good food and pleasant staff although it can take a long while to get served. this very7 frustrating when you have young children

We got at table overlooking the marina- excellent. Sevice was good and very friendly .Food was reasonable priced and of good quality. We will certainly be back.
