Went here after receiving a Manor View voucher for Xmas. Was not overly impressed. We had booked a table for 4pm on Thursday. Arrived, and the restaurant was quiet (maybe 2 other tables had people at them), but had to wait 5 minutes before someone appeared to take or booking. We both ordered the Chicken tempura with a chilli and corriander batter. The batter was not a crispy light tempura batter, but the batter you would expect on fish from a fish and chip shop. It was greasy, and had a garnish of chilli on top of the batter - so it wasnt a chilli/corriander batter at all. It was edible - but not what was expected. I ordered the Rib eye steak, and my partner ordered the duo of beef. My partner said she enjoyed her main. My steak was cooked rare as requested, but was tough and flavourless - tasted like a cheap piece of meat. And my chips wererock hard. The desserts were just OK. We ordered a bottle of wine and one soft drink. And the bill totalled £145. Which automatically included a 10% service charge. The service during the meal - I would say was minimal/subpar. No-one asked if everything was to our liking during the meal or was that ok when they took the plates away.. I had asked for table salt as none of there grinders were working very well - it never arrived. I certainly didnt feel as though the staff were that interested in if we enjoyed our meal. At best - this was slightly better than cheap and cheerful pub grub....but it was not £145 worth. I wouldnt be going back (even if I had another voucher).
