Amazing! Really good food and value. A great take on an afternoon tea but so much better than sandwiches and cake. Interesting selection of items and each delicious. A lot of food so make sure you’re hungry!
Enjoyed the festive wood fired afternoon tea. The food was fab, the restaurant was nicely decorated with a picturesque view of the lake. Shout out to Gary and Shaun who looked after us, both very friendly and attentive.
Free Vegan options, but they’re really well done!
Excellent service, friendly staff, and generous portions!
NEED MORE VEGAN OPTIONS!
Overall good, just the steak was a little burned. Would have been perfect if it's not.
Steak was around 35 pound.
Had an amazing afternoon to for myself and my friends birthday treat. Beautiful setting and views from all windows. From the minute we walked in we was made welcome by the lovely lady on the front desk, Anne and Gary served us who were amazing and friendly. The food was served quick, hot and was delicious. Highly recommended. Thank you to all who served us from front of house to behind the scenes.

This is a high class eatery in a very snazzy high class resort next to Lake Windermere. The food is excellent and grill oriented, such as steaks, chops, burgers, pulled pork etc. Next to the lake has excellent views across it. Was great place for a special, but not cheap dinner.
Fantastic venue, fantastic staff, and brilliant food. We had the vegan afternoon tea, and it was great.
The savoury part was amazing and a great take on a standard afternoon tea. SO GOOD!
the dessert section; flapjack, and blueberry scone were fantastic, as well as the grilled pineapple that worked as a great step from savoury to sweet. But the brownie was super dry. I think they would really benefit from connecting with the local vegan bakery, Banilla, for future cakes.
Waiters were really friendly and a good laugh, but service was a bit slow when it came to drinks. It felt a bit unorganised with getting drinks to tables.
Fantastic 2 course spa day lunch. Way Better than expected! Super tasty watermelon, feta & mint salad starter was so fresh and healthy! Then the wood smoked chicken breast with fat chips and coleslaw, with a side ot Teryaki glazed broccoli was just the ticket after a 3hour stint in the thermal experience! Will definitely be back! Lovely attentive staff too which always helps!
A dining experience as well as a delicious meal. We shared the châteaubriand which comes with two sides and two sauces- every element was delicious! I especially enjoyed watching the chefs cooking on the woodfired grill. Fab cocktails too. We were too full for dessert.
A lovely location overlooking the lake. We got a table by the window and loved the views!! The food was well cooked and fresh!! I particularly liked the pan fried salmon as it was cooked to perfection !! The service was excellent and will definitely return for another meal!
Superb place and the food is amazing. All cooked on the wood fired open barbecue. So tasty and very filling. Their cocktails are superb and so tasty too. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Give it a go.
A lovely setting and experience. We went here for afternoon-tea as part of a spa package - the staff were lovely and really attentive, and the food was top-notch. Really good mix of veggie and non-veggie options, great portion sizes, and really nice drink pairings.
The location and view is breathtaking - you won't be disappointed.
Possibly the best meal i have ever ate the prices where slightly high but completely worth it stay clear of the blue cocktail though its vile we actually couldn't drink it, staff where very nice and helpful . The view was absolutely gorgeous as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant if your staying in the lake district it is also a hotel and spa the price for a room was high.
Great experience, good food!
We've celebrated our friend's birthday yesterday. We only informed the restaurant staff on the arrival, but they swiftly arranged some birthday confetti and a card for her. Our lunch was booked as a part of the Spa package. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, attentive and friendly staff. Thank you so much.
We had the somewhat afternoon tea. All very good and in these inflation filled world not too expensive. Definitely worth giving this a go.
Wood smoked afternoon tea!! Great variation on the traditional afternoon tea, especially if your not into cucumber sandwiches! Only 25 pound per person and the food was amazing! Definitely worth a visit if you're near Ambleside but book in advance.
We had a meal out here whilst on honeymoon visiting the lake District and it was delicious. We started with the olives and tomatoes and then had the sharer: Blue Smoke Experience - Chateaubriand and whole lobster with a bottle of champagne and it was the perfect meal to celebrate just getting married. The service was brilliant and really nice to be able to see the kitchen and chefs working whilst your sitting at your table. Like that touch in a restaurant.
