Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Surroundings, food, service, staff all excellent.

The staff were extremely welcoming upon our arrival, greeting us and giving us a choice of tables even though the restaurant was fairly busy. Service was great, asking us promptly for drinks, again for ordering our food. The food was delicious, we had starter mains and deserts and there wasn’t a single thing wrong with any dish. Thanks for a lovely night and if we return to grasmere we will certainly be back here!

My partner and I stayed in Grasmere this weekend and booked a meal Saturday night at Lewis’s Bistro. Beautiful space, friendly efficient staff and excellent food & wine. We will be visiting again.

Lovely atmosphere and very well ran bistro with such welcoming and friendly staff. Food presented fantastically and tasted excellent! Price is what you’d expect from a bistro

Super restaurant! The food is fantastic, the best bakewell tart I’ve had. Lovely atmosphere too.

Gorgeous restaurant. Food is amazing and portions are huge! Can not fault service, happy to help and give suggestions. If I am ever back in Ulverston would 100% revisit! Could not recommend enough

Lovely meal, great service and good wine,. Hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful meal on Wednesday, the service was spot on, the food plentyful, cooked very well full of flavour. Excellent value for money if we lived closer we'd be dining here more often. Will definitely be booking again the next time we're in Carlisle.

Lovely restaurant and very pleasant young waiter made for a nice evening. Vegetarian main options were limited to a salad and a macaroni cheese . Given that vegetarians are usually paying similar prices for cheaper ingredients , I feel restaurants should be judged by the care and time put into creating imaginative vegetarian dishes and expertise in cooking - there are so many brilliant vegetarian recipes out there it should not be a problem - the macaroni dish was penne in a very liquid cheese source - I believe I would have served a better and more balanced version of this dish for any weekday family dinner so I can’t rate highly I’m afraid.

Excellent attentive service, friendly staff. All food seemed freshly cooked. Scallops were divine! Onion soup perfect! The sea bass was just right and so tasty! We enjoyed our food so much we booked again for two days later!

Lovely food, beautifully presented by friendly staff. Prompt and attentive service. Could not have asked for more and we hope to be back soon!

Excellent food as always.

Very,very good….Just the ticket after a long days walking etc….Tasty fare…

Fantastic freshly cooked food that was delicious. Also friendly service. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food and great value for money. Service was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely go back next time i'm in the lakes.

Couldn’t fault the service and food will definitely be back :)

Recommended by friends that live locally. Fantastic food, great service, very friendly. Rebooked before we left for later in the week.
