Reviews in Grasmere

As said previously, a little gem of a find. I am Coeliac and the chef (presume owner) came out to explain what I could have r that was gluten free and how he could adapt sauces. The meal was absolutely delicious. We booked for 6.45pm and it was a shame that there were only three tables in use, one being a single diner, all the time we were there. This was on a Friday night as well. I don’t know why but the location may put people off as it’s situated at the back of the chocolate shop and the outside doesn’t seem very welcoming. There is also a For Sale board prominently displayed on the building. I don’t know if this is the restaurant or the building itself. It’s a real shame as the chef obviously knew what he was doing and both my husband’s and my meal, were absolutely superb. He really deserves to be better patronised. It most definitely warrants a five star rating.

The service was a little less than professional. The sea bass was good. The lamb was somewhat overcooked for my taste and the accompanying fondant potatoes burnt on top, so a rather mediocre dish. The sticky toffee pudding was very good. However I would have thought it difficult to spoil Eton Mess but the fruit in it was tasteless. There was dance music playing for some reason, which didn't add much to the ambience.

Food was really good. However we were on the second sitting - 8pm and 3 of the items were sold out on the mains. I would return however but book on the 1st sitting

5 star

Lovely food and great service. Third visit here and always a pleasure. Great steak and sea bass this time.

We made a reservation for on January 19th for a table for 4 at 1900hrs February 28th. I received confirmation of the booking straight away and I also received a reminder of the booking on February 27th 24 hours prior to the booking. We turned up at 1845 on February 28th for our meal only to find the restaurant closed. I phoned the restaurant and was told by the bloke who answered that their oven had broken so they were closed. He said they had called all people who had booked tables, MUST have missed me. When I told him this he offered me a bottle of wine on our next booking. No chance. Our hotel and some other establishments were fully booked but we were extremely fortunate that The Jumble Room had a cancellation and squeezed us in, fantastic place, fantastic food.

Restaurant Review: Lewis’s Bistro – A Fantastic Dining Experience We recently had the pleasure of dining at Lewis’s Bistro, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the outstanding quality of the food. We ordered the Chicken Supreme and the Lamb, and both dishes were cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and flavorful, served with a rich, well-balanced sauce, while the lamb was beautifully prepared, full of depth and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous, leaving us fully satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. Service was another standout aspect of our visit. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring we were well looked after throughout our meal. Food arrived promptly, and we appreciated the genuine warmth and professionalism of the team. The only small downside was being seated near the door, where it could get a little chilly when it opened. If possible, we’d recommend requesting a table further inside for a more comfortable experience. That said, this was a minor issue in what was otherwise a fantastic meal. Overall, Lewis’s Bistro delivers excellent food, great portion sizes, and top-tier service. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality dining experience.

We had a fabulous meal on Saturday as a group of 6. Easy to book a table via the website and the service was excellent, and the food perfectly delicious. We all ordered different things off the menu and we all really enjoyed our meals from start to finish. Portions are decent in size so we all left full. Only disappointment was we didn’t have room left for desserts!

Great small restaurant in the heart of Grasmere. Delicious food and lovely staff

Brilliant little place - food excellent, service the same. Can't fault anything. Definitely be going back!!
