I picked this restaurant because of the reviews on here - and I wasn't disappointed. The service was excellent, competent and quick, the food was lovely and a great atmosphere. It felt a bit crowded but there were constantly people turning up a the door looking for seats. There were no problems with our group of 13 and the chef even made a cake for a birthday. She was obviously well practiced at this as the cake was delicious. My dad (the birthday boy) was really delighted at the whole event - and he is hard to please! We will definitely be going back when next anywhere near Keswick.
