    Overall disappointing for a very expensive meal. Cauliflower soup starter was awful, horribly thick. The cod main was just alright. I wouldn’t rate the experience at all

    The staff was great, attentive to detail, engaging, fun, and respectful. Saddle room is my go-to whenever I can. A credit to the management team at the Hotel and the Head Chef.
