  Sitting outside, dishes were good, good shisha, good music, not too loud, so not distracting and not irritating. Definetely liked.

  Very nice buffet with a lot of fresh food to choose from. Pancakes and omelettes à la minute. Fresh fruits and juices every morning. You can go for a healthy meal or for a soulfood meal depending on your mood. Very attentive and kind staff.

  Enjoyed Christmas Eve at The Cavendish. Very tasty menu. Very good foie gras and turkey. But the wine served was charged too expensive so we ended up skipping it. Beautifully decorated this evening. The firecracker was a nice touch.

  We visited the restaurant as part of a large party for a Friday brunch. In total we had 10 adults and 4 children. There was a lot of confusion when we arrived and were seated at a table for 12. We thought we must have another "overspill" table adjacent but that was not the case. We were then informed that they do not usually seat the children as they can eat in the play room - trying to pass this of as being normal. We were told that they had already given the 2 extra seats as a courtesy but they don't usually do it.
  
  When 2 additional adults showed up it made things worse but, had the correct number of places been allocated in the first place, adding another 2 place settings would not have been a problem. There were no tables in the play room for the children and they should be eating with their parents in any case. We ended up with 2 children on laps and the other 2 perched on the edge of the table.
  
  The service was all over the place to start with - which, on top of the seating debacle, just added to the stress. None of us get to go out with the children very often so we were all a bit disappointed - making the service probably seem worse than it was.
  
  The service settled down in the end. The drinks were served swiftly and with a smile. Our waiter made an effort with the children which was appreciated.
  
  The buffet was not great. Only a small buffet selection with some meals from the menu. The roast dinners, although taking an age to be served, were brilliant. The portions were small so seconds are in order but the food tasted great. A friend had the fisherman's pie which was not to her taste - far too salty and full of what seemed like leftovers which were on the turn (probably what a "proper" fisherman's pie was for).
  
  We were there using pre-paid vouchers with a 50% discount and thought things were bad. If I had paid full price I would have been far more disappointed.
