Definitely worth a visit, but be sure to book ahead. The Whipped Feta starter was delicious and beautifully presented. Our main courses were excellent, and the kitchen was more than happy to accommodate our requested ingredient swaps without any fuss. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. We also used the online booking system, which was quick, easy, and worked perfectly. With great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere, we would highly recommend this restaurant.

I visited this restaurant in a group of four; every starter and main course we had were excellent and we would highly recommend it. We used the online booking facility and that also worked perfectly. Service was friendly and atmosphere great.

Another relaxed meal at Lewis's. We always make a point of booking here when staying in Grasmere. As well as the food being tasty, the service is at a very even pace which makes for an enjoyable night out.

Always a great meal here. The menu offers a variety of options and every course is delicious. Staff are friendly, attentive and make you feel welcome. I can't wait for our next visit.

Nobody acknowledged us on arrival and when they eventually did we were made to feel uncomfortable as we had arrived early. (We had called earlier to confirm it was ok to arrive early and were told that was fine as long as we sat outside - it was a hot evening so this was fine with us) We then asked if it would be ok to just have a drink while we wait for our table and were told they were busy with drinks too so no. At this point we were feeling very unwelcome. The food was sub standard and one meal was removed from the bill but in short we would never go back to this place.

We had dinner at Lewis's Bistro and had delicious food. A generous, well cooked piece of seabass was accompanied by excellent fresh and really tasty vegetables. A fantastic little restaurant with lovely friendly staff.

Pleasantly surprised at the overall experience on a Saturday evening having booked earlier that day. Scallops nicely cooked. Delighted with the Chardonnay we drank. Fillet steak was quality and cooked as desired. Chicken supreme also good. Sticky toffee pudding to share and espresso martini both up to standard. Would book again.

Very disappointed in the nearly hour wait for our meal. Even more disappointed when paying my bill, and asked how it was. I kept it polite and said “ok”. But was pressed by the lady over and over to expand and when I did, she didn’t like my answer and as good as tried to turn it on ourselves. Never experienced customer service like it. I have booked for another meal for next Friday 24 Jul 26 at this bistro but obviously can you cancel this now please. Thankyou.
