I was so excited to go on my birthday. The view was spectacular- for a moment. Then we were taken into an adjoining type room off the main restaurant and to the side of the kitchens with views out to the back of the lake - overlooking well, nothing except water. Our table was also the only one in the middle of the room so felt a bit odd. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful about the menu except he told us that there was a different steak that wasn’t on the menu which we could order. It all got very confusing as he didn’t describe it well and where we’ve were was very noisy and he spoke very quietly. My daughter and I decided to go with his recommendation of the steak that wasn’t on the menu but when it came out it was exactly what was on the menu (one that my daughter especially didn’t want). When we asked if he’d perhaps misunderstood our order he insisted that it was different. Ummm, no it wasn’t as someone else in our party had the steak off the menu. Anyway, my daughter ended up hardly eating hers and it kind of spoilt the night. My family had organised a beautiful cake for me too, which the waiter brought out and just plonked in front of me. I found the whole experience a little underwhelming. The fireworks were amazing and we had dessert afterwards, so it was nice not to feel rushed. I just felt a little cheated, I guess, by being in a little offshoot of the restaurant with nothing to look at meaning we could have been dining anywhere. I don’t think I’d bother going there again for a meal. Such a lot of trouble to get a reservation too. What a shame.
