The Cellar Door, Raised Alcove Area

Absolute gem of a restaurant. We had the taster menu plus wine and was it worth it! A culinary delight of flavours. The staff were so accommodating. I cannot recommend this place enough. Wonderful x

We have dined in this restaurant a few times now and generally have enjoyed the experience and felt well looked after. On this occasion however the whole meal felt rushed even though we arrived fifteen minutes prior to our allotted time. Alarm bells rang when the server suggested that the taster menu would take too long as we had to be away by 8pm. Starters arrived promptly and was very enjoyable, but then we were left to our own devices for 30 minutes , no further drinks being served even though an order had been placed. Eventually the mains arrived but we had to ask for a sauce twice which delayed my wife enjoying her meal. The food as cooked was excellent. To end the meal we asked for two Irish coffees one was okay but the other was not. The server asked us to accept the faulty one on the basis of giving us another single malt as well. Having had enough to drink the malt was declined and I agreed to take the coffee however my wife pointed out that she had watched them being prepared and the staff member on the job had difficulty with it and put his fingers into the drink only to be rebuked by a colleague. On the basis of that information I declined to drink it and asked for the coffee to be removed from the bill. This was done however the whole episode did nothing to promote an enjoyable evening, the meal not being cheap added insult to injury which is a shame since we have had satisfying experiences there previously.Hopefully this is a one off!
