   Had a family meal out tonight. Food was great. Service was good considering how busy they were and a good time was had by everyone. Thank you.

   A really welcoming greeting - A very full and wonderful salad bar. The variety of meats were top quality, plentiful and brought to your table by friendly and helpful servers. Thank you we really enjoyed our lunch.

   We travelled from Suffolk straight from work to stay over especially for the Christmas menu. We got there a bit earlier, but was seated still. We waited to order drinks, but I ended up asking the maitre d to for drinks. The waitress kindly told us the Christmas part of the menu was taken off due to lack of customers. At the time of booking it was advertised, but no one emailed just to state that Christmas menu had been removed. Nevertheless the waitress was lovely and the food was good. But very disappointed that there is no messaging saying that the menu has been changed. Not sure if I will return to the restaurant anytime soon.

   Our experience in Estabulo was absolutely amazing, the staff were so welcoming and very helpful, they checked to see if there were anything we’d like. The food was so amazing and we really liked the pineapple and cinnamon. My partner and I are definitely coming back

   The night was lovely but there were a couple of issues. Firstly it was my birthday. Mentioned in the booking and on arrival but sadly no one picked up on it so not sure what the point was letting them know. Secondly We were told there would be 15 different meat but we were only offered around 10 and was mostly beef/ steak Not sure if it was worth nearly £40 pp to be fair

   I booked a table for 8:30 on a Tuesday and my partner and I were really disappointed with our visit. We have been to estabulos a few times before and have always really enjoyed it however this time we left really disappointed. We work in hospitality and don't often get the chance to go out and enjoy ourselves, even though estabulos closes at 10 they only bought round 3 of the 10+ meats on the menu before we had a really awkward 20-25 minute wait with nothing and we were then asked if we wanted anything else to which my partner asked if we could have the choice of the selection that is offered on the menu. We were then brought another 2 types of meat before waiting and being asked again, this time we asked for specific things that were brought to us in bowls instead of on the metal skewers. We'd only been there for an hour before they informed us they were closing the salad bar and then asked again if we wanted any more meats. I asked for the lamb which again was brought to us in a bowl and the waiter said 'you might as well have all of it because you are the only people that still want it'. The whole visit felt very rushed, we weren't even offered the desert menu so we just paid and left like they clearly wanted us to. However I do very much regret paying the full price as we certainly did not eat £40 of food per person. Don't take late bookings if you intend to close the restaurant while said booking is still sat trying to enjoy their meal. Overall a very poor experience and new management is very clearly needed.

    I wish that I had looked into the cost before going. A meal for four cost £224 (with drinks) which I thought was overpriced. The price is increased by £10 on Friday and Saturday for the same experience. As soon as we had turned our mats over to red we were presented with the bill even though we had not finished our drinks. We were not offered a desert. £22.00 service charge was automatically put in the bill. We asked for this to be taken off and before we could put a tip of our choice on the bill the card reader was thrust under our noses. Will not be returning
