The…read morefood was very nice and well presented, which considering the number of people is quite an achievement. The rooms range from £150 to £240 and having the opportunity to see a number of them not one was a let down each has a unique theme and all are impressive. When you first enter your room you will undoubtedly be impressed and take a little time poking around at all the things to take in. You will also get a empty pint glass that can be filled for free if you find the hidden tap, it does exist but I'm not saying where you have to earn that free drink. However the place does have one baffling element, Bora Bora is the ideal room for a romantic getaway with one fatal flaw that has the potential to ruin any romantic liason the toilet has no door and nobody wants the illusion that the stunning goddess staying with you is doing anything other than powdering her nose when she enters the bathroom. If you stay in mount nelson take a little time to read some of the champagne bottles lining the top shelf most are anniversaries, birthdays and the odd honeymoon but the one that touched my heart simply had "swingers 08" and four names

This should be one of the UK's most outstanding seafood 'emporiums'…read more It has a large selection of fresh and frozen fish as well as loads of stuff to go with them - sauces, pickles, mustards there is even a wine section. What lets it down is the slightly aloof attitude of the staff who never seem terribly happy to serve you and the idea of banter with these people is almost unheard of. Produce is almost begrudgingly sold. The quality of the produce is without question - they keep live lobsters here so you know how fresh they are. It's worth a visit as they sell almost everything (no frozen baby squid though! Shame as these are readily available in Leeds market!). Could do much better, and not a patch on most of the stalls selling fish in Leeds market - see my other reviews for that.

The service is aloof at best and produce is sold as if they do not care. Asking them to scale a fish seems a chore and is always half done, resulting in a difficult task whereby you are trying to finish the job without damaging the flesh - it is almost impossible to do this once fish has been filleted!! What a waste, not everyone eats fish without the skin and therefore scaling should be a given. C'mon guys, pull your socks up, it isn't that difficult to provide decent customer service rather than just being a shop front for your suppliers, you are adding no value whatsoever just now. Not sure if there are other fishmongers around, maybe in Knaresborough...if so it will be worth the drive.

Of course you can get other things but there is little point eating somewhere that does something really well if you won't try it. It's not just fish - there are superbly cooked prawns and scallops and the sertting is nice too. What lets it down is the wine list which really should match the food. The selection is limited and disappointing - these guys could make a killing on wine but they domn't seem to make much effort in that department. I've eaten here a couple of times - one meal was fantastic but the other was less so, hence my hesitation in giving the 4th star. Certainly if you like fish and other seafood you're sure to have a decent meal.

AVOID THIS PLACE! If you want your reservation mysteriously…read moredisappeared, or if you enjoy dressing up for dinner only to be turned away at the door -- this is the restaurant for you. We called at 8:30 PM to ask if there were any available tables for the night. The guy on the phone clearly confirmed two options: 9:30 PM and 9:45 PM. I even asked if 9:30 was the earliest available, and he confirmed it was. I then confirmed the 9:30 PM reservation, to which he replied, "See you later at the restaurant." When we arrived -- 15 minutes early, by the way -- and told the host about our reservation, he looked completely shocked. He denied ever receiving a reservation call. I showed him my call log (see attached screenshot), which clearly shows we called the correct number. He admitted he was the only man working the phones and that it was indeed the right number -- but still insisted no reservation had been made. Even though the restaurant had empty tables, he refused to seat us, was incredibly rude, and paid us no attention while continuing to serve others. No apology at all. No effort to resolve anything. Just left us standing there. Absolutely absurd and laughable experience. Never again.

All fish is prepared in front of you and the chefs are extremely talented.

The success has come from their commitment to top quality food. I can live with that. They also always have great offers on such as the one they have on at the moment; Dinner and wine for two at £30 from sunday-thursday. That's a two course dinner, and I'd suggest the Scottish smoked haddock and the cold poached salmon. However whatever you chose is likely to be top notch as mentioned. Loch Fyne is what I would consider to be one of those safe bets when you are out dining. The Wirral has one and it is arguably one of the best restaurants in the region.

Like with many good restaurants, I have a keen sense of hearing, and heard some good things about…read morethis place. My ears prop up if I hear the word 'steak'. That's not an exaggeration. So after much consideration of when to go, I finally made a visit with my eating buddy on a Sunday afternoon. I knew what I was going to order, after browsing on their website - I wanted a big piece of steak. After a long working week, I needed a treat, so decided to go full out. I really liked the decor inside - maybe it was personal preference but it was modern and oozed class, which added to the whole dining experience. We were in a corner close to the window, and provided menus. A simple menu with steakhouse favourites always wins me over, and shouldn't be cluttered. If you want to serve good food, then specialise in a few things! As I knew what I wanted, I needed to decide which size steak I wanted to devour and I chose the 310g rib-eye steak, which is just shy of 11oz. I also chose the duck spring rolls as a starter, but requested it to be served with my main. After a reasonable wait, my food came with steady hands, and it looked really good just sitting there waiting to enter my stomach. I must say it was a fabulous steak, cooked medium, so had a little pink inside. There was a crisp exterior with soft interior, packed with meaty beefy flavour (as expected!), and I took the time to really enjoy it. The spring rolls weren't that great though. Too much pastry and not enough filling. After the steak, I decided to have a dessert. My all time favourite is warm chocolate cake with ice cream and there it was on the dessert menu, so I ordered it! The dessert was ok, chocolatey and warm, but there was something about the cake that didn't seem right to me. It was bitty. It didn't say on the menu that it was bitty. The vanilla ice cream was nice and complimented the cake. Overall it was a good experience. The service was also good and friendly and the waiters looked smart. Although it was a great main, the starter and dessert was average, so this barely managed 4 stars! If you're a meat lover, then having a steak at this place is definitely well worth it. I'll definitely make another trip and try out the other dishes on offer and maybe prop it up to 5 stars if I get a good starter and/or dessert.
