Toots Cafe Bar & Bistro in Moray

Great food superb portions top notch

Cheese and ham panini ordered which came like this? I mean for almost £5 you'd expect it to be able to hold together. It's either undercooked or flopped like this. Do not recommend

Hope the chef sees this because those Cajun Honey chips with stew and gravy were… not even joking, the best thing I’ve ever tasted. Ordered from Uber and managed to get an amazing deal for £16. Full pizza, 2 pastas and chips with stew gravy which is amazing value especially after I tasted it. The pizza has amazing dough that goes crispy and crunchy the way I like it, the toppings especially the pepperoni were really nice and the pizza was a good size. The pasta has big chunky bits of chicken and the sauce was amazing. The chips were actually out of this world. Kept saying Wow while I was eating them haha. Well worth every penny and those chips will be getting ordered quicker than the chef can make them. Spot on 👌🏻

Place was very clean, staff were friendly and welcoming, food was amazing, shout out to Collette, the steak pie was 2nd to none, would highly recommend

Great service and a cracking meal absolutely gorgeous

Visited for the first time today, lunch with a friend. The staff were polite and efficient and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Parking outside wasn't a problem, I'll be back.

Outstanding breakfast, I've never had a breakfast anywhere that was too much for me until I came here. Nice staff, will be back as soon as I've managed to get over how full I was

Nice service, portions are decent, and all food was freshly made.

First time being here living around the corner of the place, the place is beautiful and worth going in with lovely customer service and welcoming the staff is great the food was marvellous and great I would recommend going to this place when its sunny :) only paid 21 pounds we ordered 2x teas , 1 capachio , breakfast wrap toasted l, chicken curry with chips and roll and chips the prices are fair and great i would go back again they also got kids menus full meal with 5 pounds

Staff very pleasant and helpful, food excellent. I would go back again for food.

Ordered twice now (well before closing times) and both times have been cancelled, obviously do not need the service. Why advertise your services and for delivery if cannot accommodate.

First time in the bistro . Was very impressed lovely little place . Staff are lovely and welcoming. Food was really good I had the French toast sandwich with bacon and egg it was really good 👍 will definatly be going back. Would highly recommend 👌

Very slow service and highly priced for the area,lack off attention to detail and only 1 disabled toilet too deal with everyone,for now anyway.

Great local place with lovely food. Service a bit slower due to doing Just Eat orders now, impacts on diners actually in the Bistro

Menu said 5 chicken tenderloin but only got 3..when I asked waitress she said sometimes they give 3 when they are larger...as a chef I know the 3 I was given were average size. Such a shame as the service and flavours were good. £15 for 3 chicken tenderloin and chips not good value..was looking for a good local eatery...will keep on looking.

Brilliant food and service today at the bistro. Everything was spot on staff and cook excellent.

Fabulous first visit but will be back. Food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.

Took the wife and kids along at 1pm on Sunday, gr8 welcome from the staff shout to nikki who took her time to have a chat with us and the girl behind the bar with good 😀😀 👌🏼 food was top notch I had the scotch brunch which was amazing, wife had a popcorn wrap that filled the plate with a superb salad on the side and the kids had southern fried chicken goujons that was plentiful on the plate.🍽🍴 and even a mention for the beer 🍺 a pint of moretti or 2 to wash it down with. And then decided to grab 2 cakes on the way out to have later 😋 😀 Defo be back. 👌🏼👍🏼

Food was lovely as usual couldn't fault it

This is a hidden gem, fantastic food, fantastic friendly staff. this is a must if you are looking for a great wee bistro great atmosphere, if you like steak you must try the tomahawk give it a go I highly recommend.

Just had amazing food for my husband birthday thank you will definitely be back

Not been here for a while but pleased to see staff and food excellent. An interesting menu with some clever dishes. Service very good Food was top drawer and easily the best in the area.

After finding this place and having breakfast, we decided to try the evening meals what a treat it was . We both went for the Steak Menu 😋 TBone cooked to perfection my wife had the Fillet again cooked to perfection, very reasonably priced , great staff, plesent atmosphere. We have eaten in a few lovely restaurants and I would stand the food against any of them. It's a no nonsense, no frills bistro just great food, great prices and most Importantly great staff who make you feel very welcome and make sure that you are having a good time.

First timers here,my wife and i both had the lentil soup,then she had the rack of ribs and i had the steak pie which was recommended by my grandaughter Macey,for dessert she had galaxy caramel sundae and i had the sticky toffee pudding,will defo be returning again.

Delightful surroundings, lovely and attentive service and the food is truly amazing. Such a variety and locally sourced. Such a collection of whisky!

Staff are very friendly and accommadating, food is excellent, prices are very reasonable I recommend it to other people to try it.

lovely food, great service, and good value, will definitely be back. nice to have a quality restaurant like this so local instead of having to head all the way into town.

Food is great, staff are friendly and welcoming..

What a great dining experience the menu is extensive and food is cooked fresh may i add delicious 😋.

Stopped by for a midweek dinner in our new local. I got the half pizza half pasta- big portion! For a Cajun pasta it could have been spicier but overall nice. Didn't get the chance to try the cocktails but will definitely be back.

Das Restaurant war laut Reception ausgebucht, doch nach etwas Betteln durften wir in der Bar Platz nehmen. Das Essen war zwar ausgezeichnet, doch die Portionen mikroskopisch und der Preis gesalzen. Das Lamm bestand aus drei Fleischwürfeln, und der Rote-Beete Salat mit Frischkäse hätte auf einem Suppenlöffel Platz gehabt. Die Bedienung war freundlich aber distanziert. Nicht zu empfehlen, wenn man Hunger hat.

Had a great wee night here on Wednesday! I'm fussy with food & always find myself disappointed with buffers but this was honestly one of the best buffets I've had! Thanks for a fantastic night guys! Will definitely be back for food soon!

Went for the work lunch to be greeted by friendly staff. Whilst waiting staff provided us with a QR code to see the menu and also a contact number for us to phone ahead in future to save us wasting our entire lunch break. Absolutely brilliant customer service! Service was impeccable and food was even better. Thoroughly enjoyed by all staff will definitely be back soon.

When first opened after renovation the Toots bar area was thriving and provided fantastic quality bar meals. This is the first time I've visited in a while and arriving at 7pm on a Saturday night the Toots bar was empty, not a single soul around. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The menu has definitely changed, out with the good old favourites and replaced by a menu with items that sounded sourced from Masterchef. The starters, though extremely small, we're really nice (Local Roe Deer, and Shetland Scallops) the main course was much better portioned and was very tasty, Buffalo Shoulder, and a Buffalo Burger. The sweet however was extremely disappointing for those who chose the Clootie Dumpling, an extremely dry what seemed like Ginger Cake (nothing closely resembling a Clootie Dumpling) and covered in a green tasteless foam (described as Espuma) - luckily I had chosen the Biscuits and Cheese. The whole evening we were there a couple came in, as well as a single person. There was no atmosphere and the place has lost its buzz and life. I'm not sure if that because of the new overly fancy menu for a bar area, or the fact the locals no longer feel welcome in a atmosphere. Unfortunately both the menu, and the atmosphere will stop me from returning anytime soon, which is such a shame for a once great local business.

Went for lunch for Father’s Day with family. Really attentive service, menu options were great, between us we had vegetable broth, haggis Benedict and lobster roll and daughter had flatbread pizza off the child’s menu. Lovely food, filling portions and was all freshly cooked, and very pleasantly surprised with the final bill which was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend and plan to go back. 😁

Food was lovely at great price will 100% be back

Booked in advance as heard its always busy quiet when we arrived but soon filled up. Friendly staff and very reasonable we were there at lunch time zi had a BLT Panini salad and coleslaw friend had french toast wrap which was huge will return

Breakfast was lovely! Latte was amazing! Best I’ve had from a cafe! Great prices! Staff were brilliant! 10/10 will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place, it was recommended by a family member, seemingly it has just opened up a few months ago, it’s a bit off the main drag, but well worth the 30 second detour, amazing food, great service, reasonably priced, lovely home decor and great atmosphere. It’s better to book if looking for a table in the evening, as it fills up really fast, it’s definitely our new favourite place to go to..A jewel in Rutherglen’s crown…Not to be missed..keep up the good work up guys, 10/10.

Ordered breakfast to pick up for all the boys in work . Everything was excellent. Will definitely be popping in for a meal ASAP

Been both for sit in and takeaway brilliant stuff.

Great food and a nice atmosphere, a very nice place,lovely friendly staff , clean and well fitted out

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Toots Cafe Bar & Bistro. It was very relaxing to cozy up in a booth after a long day of driving and tours. Food, drinks, and desert were all delicious. Wasn't crowded. Reservations are recommended, but we were able to just walk in.

Shoulder of beef was gluten free and delicious, the caramelised fruit with the sorbet was lovely gf without the sukkah, husband had the chicken supreme which he rated 10/10 , same with the white chocolate and cranberry bread and butter pudding, staff very friendly

Great bar and bistro with a fantastic selection of whiskies and a modest but perfectly executed menu. My wife and I enjoyed perfect beer battered fish and chips and a really juicy burger. Absolutely top quality and great service!

We visit Toots quite regular and always enjoy a good meal,but we ate this weekend and the food was excellent.Every dish was tasty and the winter menu is pure comfort food.The place was buzzing which is great to see,service was prompt and friendly....keep up the great work and we'll keep coming back.

An amazing bar with lovely barman! Go here for an exclusive whisky and you will not be disappointed!! The bar stocks bottles from all over the world and for those less interested in whisky, the barman also makes great cocktails.When you order a whisky, the barman gets his keys and takes you to the whisky wall lining the back of the bar. Floor to ceiling, the wall is filled with different bottles. Upon locating your choice, the locks on the wall are opened and your bottle of choice is removed to pour you a dram. All in all the whole experience has a somewhat ceremonial feel to it :)A fun fact is that the family owning the hotel (in which the bar is located) are the ones who produce and maintain all the copper stills in the distilleries. There are small hits to this heritage throughout the building. One example is an overview of all the distillery stills and their shapes on the bar front.

A charming restaurant with very attentive staff. The venison was very tender and the red wine sauce excellent. I have booked one of their private dining rooms for 20+ for my family pre-Christmas meal and party.

We were staying at the hotel & had dinner in Toots. It was a late October Wednesday night but the bar was full with diners & had a nice atmosphere.Great range of whiskies which you’d expect. Friendly, helpful staff serving delicious food. We had the chicken in whisky sauce with haggis Bon Bon & a burger. Both were good but the chicken was outstanding & one of the best dishes I’ve eaten anywhere in Scotland. Loved the table mats & was given a momento to bring away.

We had our evening meal here and all 4 of us thought it was great. I had fish and chips and the portion was very generous and would recommend eating here

Whisky bbq pulled pork flatbread - amazing! Chill service and beautiful interior. Reasonable for quality of food. Snack menu available between lunch and supper menus - spot on for a nibble! Worth the visit

It was a lovely evening and we enjoyed the ambience and decor. Food was excellent. They had great staff but they were not brilliant with timing. They took 25 mins to get 2 gin & tonics- other tables that came in after us received there drinks first! And they forgot our breads. A sticky start but the food was good and lovely people.

We had a meal here to help celebrate our daughters birthday. There were 5 adults and a 4 year old. Very warm welcome on our arrival, quick to offer and deliver our drinks. Food ordered and quickly delivered, the food was exceptional. Excellent service from front of house team, at no time did we feel hurried. The room itself was not particularly big but it was warm, welcoming with lovely modern decor. Little touches like the menu card for dessert made it feel like you were somewhere a little bit pricey. The bill was a lot less than we thought it would be considering the standard of food and service. We can only say thank you to all on the evening 4th Sept. Food to die for, warm, friendly welcoming staff, and a really lovely restaurant. Highly Highly Recommend this restaurant. We will definately return.

This bar and restaurant had all going for it. Stylish interior... Great selections of cocktails and friendly staff. They have just a few tables and this evening 3 was full or about 10 people.....

Went here for early dinner with friends from ZA. They were most enthused at the transformation of the Hotel. The staff, food and service were excellent. Quality freshly made fare which was marvellous. Our guests from ZA will tell many stories of Toots.... We will return

The food here is absolutely delicious! We had spent the day mountain biking nearby and were looking for somewhere for a hearty meal on the way home. We happened upon Toots by chance. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations. We all ordered different mains; beef pie, chicken wings, mac and cheese and seafood chowder. Not a morsel left! The local lager was also really refreshing and the treacle pie to die for! Yes, it is more expensive than pub grub but in our view well worth it!

Went here on Saturday night for our meal. All the food being served looked first class. Would say that it is a bit pricey with starters and sweets costing in the region of between £6 and £7. We both had the fish and chips which was £14.95 each and a portion of onion rings as a side was £4. For our two fish and chips portion of onion rings, half pint soda water and lime and a pint of windswept lager our bill came to £39.36

Excellent food in a very nice setting. The restaurant is very nicely done out. The food was very nice, both having sole which was excellent. Service was very good indeed. Friendly polite people who took an interest.

I was in Moray for work and came across Toots on my first night. The food was great, as was the service. So good, in fact, that I returned with my colleagues another two times over the course of a week! Can not fault it at all, and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Lovely stay, very comfortable and enjoyable. Only feedback is that Restaurant felt slightly understaffed at breakfast. We will be back next year!

As before great welcome by friendly staff. Food very good , well cooked and presentation spot on. The best for miles around

Went for the Sunday lunch as a table of six. Given the variable reviews and the availability of reservation slots I was not expecting the experience to be as good as it was. For £26.95 we had a soup course, a buffet table course (self service), main and dessert. The soup, supposedly seasonal, was a zingy homemade tomato, finished with a swirl of basil pesto. The buffet table had an excellent range of starters including smoked salmon, mackerel pate, soft set scotch eggs, serrano ham on the bone and other charcuterie. Mains meant the roast beef for most of us. Nicely cooked, pink, and very tender, complete with a large array of veg. The only downside was the slightly overdone Yorkshire pudding. The one of us plumping for the steak frites was rewarded with a full size steak and generous pile of fries. Desserts were massive, we had the almond tart, chocolate mousse, creme brulee and the cheese selection. All again good, though by this time some of us were struggling! Wine list is extensive but pricey, service reasonably attentive for a bistro and the atmosphere pleasant. It was a great way to spend 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon. I'll definitely be back.

By far the best place to eat in the area. Food is exceptional. Staff are very friendly. Don’t bother with the copper dog!!

Without a doubt this is the best restaurant for miles. It puts the more renown establishments to shame.

I shared a fabulous meal today with my friend Claire at Toots Bistro located in the lovingly refurbished Station Hotel in Rothes, full of luxurious touches throughout.

We ordered a partridge and coq au vin. Unfortunately the partridge was rubbery and hard, and the coq au vin was acutaly a piecies of chicken fried on a pan with some poor wineish sauce on the side, not a coq au vin at all.

Was here for lunch a few days ago, food was delicious, highly recommend you give here a try, beautifully furnished too, staff were very helpful,

Great decoration,great service, the food was sublime and the whole world should know about this place.

On our drive from Elgin back to Inverness we were looking for good food with few options. Glad we took our chances and stopped here. The sweet potato soup with coconut milk and lentils was comforting and filling on a rainy day. The egg sandwiches and cheese sandwiches also were wonderful. They have a huge selection of gin and whiskeys and were proud to show us the whiskey bar, a separate bar in addition to the restaurant bar. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stayed for one night at this excellent hotel and had dinner in the bistro. We both had fish and chips with minted peas. Really nice chips, excellent crunchy batter on the fish. We will be back next time we are in Speyside

Every time we visit we wonder why we booked. Service is poor, decor very tired with no atmosphere inside. After waiting 15 mins for a simple cocktail we had to ask again for it. Considering the premium charged for the food there are many superior places in Henley to eat and relax. Come on Hotel du Vin... how long does it take for management to fix ?

On our way from Eling to Aberlour we had lunch here as it was the only open spot around. But how lucky we were... Once ww entered they informed us in a friendly manner that they would only offer Sandwiches and Soups for lunch. Fine for us and then the Sandwiches came (Steak and caramelized onions, thyme chickend lime) - brilliant. Really worth a visit: the waitresses are nice, caring and competent

We were staying at the Station hotel for a night, and upon check-in they asked if we would like a reservation for dinner. After a long day of driving and sight-seeing, we were very happy not to have to drive further to find something to eat. After settling into our room, we simply walked across the courtyard and into Toots. The restaurant was not full when we got there, but did fill up fairly shortly afterwards, so we were grateful that we were asked about making a reservation.

We found this place on Trip advisor when looking for somewhere to have a nice meal on the last night of our holiday near Elgin. It is located in the bar of of the Station Hotel in Rothes, which has obviously recently been done up - I have no idea what it was like before but the renovations make for a pleasant environment, with a heavy nod to the whisky making and cooperage industries of the local area. (I believe you can also eat from the same menu in a more formal restaurant setting in another part of the Hotel - Pagodas). For our party of 7 (grandparents, parents and older kids in their teens and 20s) this place ticked all the boxes....although not cheap, the food was good, well presented and very tasty. The atmosphere was nice, it was reasonably busy for a Thursday evening, mainly with guests from the hotel but there also appeared to be a number of regular locals which is always a good sign of a decent restaurant/bar. What really stood out for us was the team of young staff - every one of them was welcoming, friendly, polite, smart and professional. And they seemed happy in their work. I really hope they are valued by their employer....staff like that are hard to find (and hard to keep), but they most certainly helped to set the place apart from all the other venues we have eaten this week. Would definitely return if in the area again.

We’ve been to the Station Hotel many times in the past few months as we live locally. The food is exceptional, the steak sharer is a MUST!! But also the burgers, fish and chips, crab cakes alongside the mix and match selection are delightful. Service is so warm and friendly with Steve at the bar being an absolute gem, he always remembers my favourite white wine and gin. Everyone is lovely and the new relaxed environment in Pagodas is a lot more enjoyable. So happy to have such a lovely dining experience just doors away.

Having been to the restaurant before, we expected a much higher quality of service and standard of food. Service was friendly but far too slow (we needed to remind the staff twice about our drinks/food). The food is usually much higher quality., Perhaps an off night this time. I'm sure we'll give it another chance. Usually, the service and food are much better.

Toots is the bar/restaurant in the Station Hotel. Go, it is a great place to eat, we booked a reservation for the following night even before dessert was served the first night we ate there!. The bar has the same menu as the restaurant and we preferred the more casual atmosphere, from the décor to the bartender, Steve, who chatted us up in the most welcoming and polite way possible. The menu is modernized Scottish – core local foods such as venison, beef, fish and so modernized with ingredients such as quinoa, avocado, sea asparagus and so on. You judge our first meal – for starters, we had scallops, a haddock chowder that is the best fish chowder I have ever had, light with a whole piece of fish, and a crushed avocado salad. Dinners were a whole baked sole with root veggies; hake with the saffron risotto and brocolini; venison with veggies and pearled couscous; a classic pastry with beef, potatoes, pearled onions and gravy served with those same root veggies, perfect mashed potatoes and the only clunker, kale with absolutely no flavor whatsoever – that is on purpose, just not to my liking. Dessert was a raspberry sorbet that tasted as if it were made just a few minutes before from fresh raspberries, vanilla ice cream with pieces of honeycomb and a too large cheese plate labeled small. The portions are large – all of them. We had two large glasses of wine, a sparkling water, a Diet Coke, tea and three single malts and the bill was 162 pounds – a bargain. The service was friendly and flawless – and after 13 days in Scotland, eating very well most days, this was the best meal to date.

Had the salad with tuna - beautifully cooked and presented. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. Helpful staff and very friendly and fun.

Nice well decorated cafe bar, serving good quality food as high prices, but it does keep the riffraff out! Recommended

Named after a family member; “Toots” is a really good bar and restaurant. The food is top quality, the bar staff are welcoming and knowledgeable and the 500 whiskies can help pass many hours. Stay at the hotel or pop in for a dram.

We were staying at the Station Hotel and popped down for dinner as it was convenient. We had some pretty good burgers and lots of choice for whiskies. We were quite happy with the meal and would go again.

By far our favorite feature was Peter, our waiter. Peter is simply charming and wonderful. Our 8-year-old still talk about Peter like he's her old friend. We popped in for lunch on the late side after 2 whiskey tastings (not recommended on an empty stomach!), and the kitchen managed sandwiches and soup on the quick. Food was fresh and tasty. Toots is pretty cute too--it's the casual food/bar for The Station Hotel (hence the name). Overall a great place for lunch.

The recently created Station Hotel is the place to stay in the Speyside área. Toots Café has good meals and the Pagodas restaurant is also a treat.

Toilets were disgraceful even after I told a member of staff! Also our booking wasn’t recognised from booking on OpenTable and staff were standoffish to start with as they clearly wanted to go Home. Table booked at 8.30 but not taken to table until 9.30pm!! Not great.

Visited using an offer on a La carte dining. Service friendly and efficient and quality of food very good. Because of the offer the value for money was excellent.

It was dark in the restaurant but nicely lit by candle. The service was prompt with drinks, ordering and breads on the table. The food service was a bit slow, but this must be due to the fresh cooked sauces and so on. A three course meal took a total of two hours to be served and eaten. The food was delicious and well presented.

Very poor service as well as amazingly arrogant. After saying they were "all booked", I quickly found 5 openings and made a reservation. I went back and said I had a reservation..to which they said they had no tables. I pointed to the dining room with 8 open tables and said "clearly not" at which point they took me directly to the table. Service was very slow and the arrogance continued. Food was good, not exceptional.

Food was very average and portion sizes (especially the fish) were small. My wife had to send her fish back as it was overlooked and dried out. To be fair the did replace the dish without question but it ruined the meal

I was very disappointed. I wasn't allowed to choose the alacarte menu as all they did was serve the set Sunday lunch menu. Despite that we had to wait 2.5hrs to have all courses served. We went in at 1:30. At 3pm. I had to complain saying the kids had their starters but hadn't got their lunch an hour and a half later. By then they had filled their bellies with cucumber that we had got from the bread and antipasti course. Soup was served after a couple of reminders. Eventually, after a couple of complaints we got our main meal quite quickly. Dessert again had a 30 min delay. All in all I would say go on there if you aren't too hungry or if you have nothing else to do. Not a place I would recommend or go back to despite the food being tasty.

Family get together at short notice. Service was superb as was the ambiance. Food and wine very good. Menu was limited but it was late evening. Will definitely return.

Special request when booking was ignored. Initial table was wobbly but moved on request. Food and wine good. Service poor. Slight arrogance. Slow. A shame as a lovely setting and good food.

Good value Sunday Lunch 4 course menu. Can only fault presentation of side vegetables, v avg roasties and serving size of the selection. Service staff need to pay more attention to detail. Empty wine glasses left on table throughout meal. The lighting in the restaurant needs some serious adjusting! Ruins the atmosphere for the place. Too dark, even during mid day. Feels a bit gloomy when you walk in. This restaurant has the potential to be very good!

Was a little worried when we could book a table for 8pm on a Saturday evening just a few days beforehand and sadly it turned out to be for good reason. To be fair the food was nice and presented beautifully, sadly however service was awful and the atmosphere in the restaurant non existent (unlike the bar that had a really good vibe). Service was just really poor across the board and for first time ever we asked for the service charge to be taken off the bill, as well as something that didn't even turn up. Also the menu was absolutely nothing like the one shown on Open Table, which must be very out of date.

The Hotel du Vin, Henley has warm friendly staff and delicious food. We spent a lovely Sunday afternoon here.

I've been to this restaurant on several occasion previously. On arriving at the venue, I was made to feel that they didn't know about my booking, finally we were sitted. We were ignored for some period of time, we had to asked to be serviced - to which we were told that they had to check if that was ok. The waitresses returned after some time to take our drink & food order. We had a bread basket which should have been given to us with our drinks arrived after we had started our main meals. A waiter dropped a full glass of coke behind me, which splashed all over my bag, shoes & dry clean only skirt. I was also disgusted to see the price increases which are because of the regatta. Myself, friends & family will not going back to Hotel De Vin.

Have been in the past but wasn't very happy with the service speed this time. Wasn't a busy night so was very surprised how long getting simple starters took. Drinks also took for ever to arrive even though no one was at the bar. Overall we will go again as their mussels are fantastic however hope service improves next time.

A great meal in a beautiful restaurant

The food is quite good. French bistro cooking - fresh, characterful, enjoyable and fairly priced. The service friendly, casual - bistro style. The room a bit too big and bland - lighting set low fortunately but still lacks ambiance and tables feel rather close together. On Sunday night it was very quiet but if full I think it would feel crowded. I would probably return if in the area, though there is some competition in the town so it might be a while before I do. For a hotel chain with a reputation for style I think they need to do a bit of a re-style on the restaurant.

Our dinner was at 8pm on Sat 31 August but despite a weekend in Summer at Henley, the restaurant wasa lot less than half full - that says a lot about the restaurant. Getting a drink outside was very slow, We ordered an expensive bottle of Super Tuscan wine that is well known to me and probably cost more than the food for the three of us. The bottle was opened without any care at the table as if it was standard house wine and whilst I was not corked, it certainly did not have the qualities I would have expected from an Ornellia. I asked for it to be decanted which was clearly not appreciated by the waitress. It was dumped back on the table in a stone cold decanter. We wont bother with this chain again.

the service during our lunch was excellent. The food was OK but was rather highly priced compared with similar elsewhere. It cost us £106 for lunch for 3 which only included 2 glasses of wine. There did not appear to be a set lunch menu any more. My salmon was served with black potatoes ( a heritage brand ) . They were very flavoursome but really did not look appealing on the plate!
