Visited on Thurs 23 July and we were so impressed we returned the following evening. Prawns in tempura batter were the best ever, deep fried brie was light and tasty. The steaks (T-bone and fillet) were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Not exactly cheap, but worth every penny they were so good. On the second night the stroganoff and the wild boar were also excellent. The service was attentive and charming. Wish we could have stayed in Ambleside longer to sample the whole menu. Not much to add, except that both meals we had were truly excellent, and we're thinking of returning to Ambleside in the future just on the strength of this restaurant.

What a find! Ambleside has a host of eateries, but this one outshines them all; friendly knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices and above all, great food cooked by someone who cares about flavours.
Go for the early evening option, before 7; 3 courses for £14.95. The place was busy, but we were served promptly and even had time to go to the cinema opposite for the 8.30 showing.

We stumbled on this place by accident as every other Restaurant was fully booked. It was our first wedding anniversary so we were looking for something special and this place certainly delivered.
The staff were excellent and really seemed to know the menu and the food... Well all I can say it's a very long time since I've eaten any thing so good in the UK! Perfectly cooked and presented.
Would definitely suggest paying a visit to this place if you want to have an excellent meal in a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. 10/10
