Excellent meal and service, we had duck and cod both really lovely as was the service we highly recommend

Another excellent night, lovely food, beautifully prepared and presented, served by friendly a nd knowledgeable staff

We visit Keswick a few weekends a year and always eat here for our evening meal on the 2 nights we stay which is always amazing service and food, however on Saturday 16th this wasn’t the case. Staff were very stressed as you could clearly see and seemed short on staff, but that shouldn’t mean it effects our experience, the table was booked for 7:30 and we’d still not been seen to by 7:50, asked the manager if we could place our order and he looked at us as though we were an inconvenience and said ‘I’ll be with you in a minute’ 10 minutes later there was still no one back to take our order but we’re serving customers who were seated after us, in the end we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. We’ve never had an issue here before the staff are usually always on with it and friendly and it’s always been a great place but last night was extremely disappointing.

Thoroughly enjoyed Mezzaluna, excellent service and wonderful food. Would recommend for all. Lovely place to eat and always welcoming.

We enjoyed our two meals at Lewis's. The food was cooked well and portions were reasonable. Something on the menu for both of us. The staff were friendly and service good. One personal reflection was that the choice of desserts didn't quite chime with the nature of starters and mains. While sticky toffee pudding is popular and I can see why it would be on the menu, the other selections were also very sweet and heavy eg treacle and lemon curd tart, eccles cake with treacle (theme here?) cheesecake and chocolate cake etc. Perhaps less treacle?

Excellent restaurant, our waitress was lovely and very helpful. The portion size was large which we appreciated after a day hiking. Everything was beautifully cooked and we had an excellent bottle of wine. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return here in the future.

Took my daughters here to eat as part of my belated 60th celebration. We had a fantastic time. The service and the food were outstanding and really made the night memorable and special We would all go back again when in the area - thank you

The service was excellent and the staff were excellent and very friendly and the food was very good

Friendly staff, quality food at affordable prices and prompt service. This was our first visit and we are already planning our next one.

Fabulous find. We booked last minute and can’t fault it in any way. Highly recommend the food and ambiance,

2nd time here. Atmosphere still good. But owner was not cooking and my sea bass was a totally different dish to when he was. Sauce poured over the fish making the skin soggy not crispy as it had been before. Supposed to be served with samphire but only a minute amount a teaspoonful. Other vegetables on the plate very soggy. Lobster sauce not very pleasant. So disappointed as had really been looking forward to the night based on our first visit. Also dead flowers in the window boxes not a good look.

Lovely fish dish, and excellent cheeseboard (i had the blue, the smoked, and the brie). White wine was really good too

Lovely atmosphere and really attentive staff. Nice choice of food and wine and I picked a great steak. Expertly cooked with great chunky chips. Fantastic and great value for money. When back in the area this will be on my list for a return visit.

Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere!

Our food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and polite. The only issue we had was a large group of people were that noisy, myself and husband couldn't here ourselves talk, neither could other guests. They were that loud I didn't realise there was music playing. We would have ordered dessert but it was way to loud. I understand people come out to have a good time and a laugh. But they were that loud it was unbearable to stay.

Excellent meal yesterday evening. Good service, tasty food and pleasant surroundings. Food portions not too excessive either so left feeling full with empty plates.
