   The food was tasty, hot and well presented, but did not have a "wow" factor. Georgina and Zeke were our servers for the evening and they were amazing, greeting us warmly, very friendly, professional and provided excellent service throughout the evening.

   We came in november and it was lovely. Our visit in feb was disappointing.. it was steak night but to me that means that its a deal on steaks not just 3 steaks on the menu and thats it.. so when looking at the normal menu prior we were disappointed none of that was available. We ordered buy one get one free cocktails to then be told they didnt have ingredients for the one we wanted.. The waitress didnt seem very happy. I asked if they had steaks sauces she said she would check with the kicthen, odd not to have them on "steak night" but then she never returned. Our steaks came out before our drinks, we had to request our own steak knives and the food was okay. We decided to go for the chocolate tart, which itself was nice but there was no mention that it was covered in pistachio sauce, pistachio ice cream and pistachios.. my partner can't eat nuts so we couldn't share as we planned. This was a celebration of our engagement so we left feeling deflated by the experience. I just feel as the only restaurant on the premises the service should be the best it can be.

   Disappointed. dessert spoon of veg, a few garden peas swimming in gravy. Could taste vegetables as portions so small. Had to chase staff to take order, server said couldn’t take our order for food even though she took our order for water.?? Could see staff behind bar talking and through kitchen doors talking and not paying attention to customers. Was meant to be my birthday lunch. Would recommend to anyone.

   We ate Sunday lunch as well as dinner on two evenings. The staff were welcoming,attentive and very efficient. The food was very good in every way. I would recommend the Lake View very highly.

   Specials on the menu were great. Tempura prawns for starter and Cajun chicken burger with pulled pork for main. Regular burger was delicious, very tender and moist. Steak from the main menu wasn’t great. A bit tough in places and not really rare, more medium. Didn’t have sweets, but options looked good. Service was very good, wine reasonably priced and atmosphere was pleasant. Have booked for another visit.

   Lovely peaceful break. Our accommodation was amazing with the little gift for our dog. The restaurant was nice. We ate there twice. Our favourite was the Sunday roast was lovely. It was just what we needed and said we would be back again

    We got there five minutes ahead of our time. We were seated and then it was at least ten minutes before someone came to take our drinks order. We then sat waiting and food began to be served to a table next to us, it did not look great for the price being charged. We continued to wait another 10 minutes and still no drinks and as it was only 6:30 , there were few tables being used. At this point we got up and left , after I told the head waiter we were going and advised I would post my review. We went to the Shire Inn 3 miles from Clowance and had a beautiful meal, with fabulous service, despite the fact it was busy and also had a function on for a wake. We will be returning there
