Great views with good food options!!! Dined here one night to check out the place. Ordered pan seared Salmon, and mushroom risotto - both dishes came out fresh and hot, and tasted great! Ordere one Latte and one mint tea. Ironically, the restaurant submerged fresh mint in hot water and called it mint tea. Why would you do that!? Anyways, I asked them to give me peppermint tea. The server brought hot water and peppermint teabag. The whole tea fiasco was sad turn of event for a restaurant this caliber. Hence, 4 stars. Six can do a better job with tea selection since they offer afternoon tea room

Six in Varisity Hotel. One of my favourite places in Cambridge! I always invite here people visiting me. Very nice service and lovely food! restaurant has beautiful views! You can enjoy it a specially from the part looking like covered balcony from the 6th floor usually as well decorated with flowers. But if You walk one floor up You will find Yourself in rooftop bar with amazing panoramic views on Cambridge.

The food was incredibly bland. We ordered scallops for starters, prawn and chorizo skewers, and the roast cod, none of which seemed to be seasoned at all. The Bellini did not look appetizing at all, but tasted good.
Lastly, the waiter mocked my boyfriend (because he asked for the dessert menu before I had finished my main course). Although that was an attempt to be respectful towards me, it seems rather unprofessional to mock a customer.

The service was extremely slow, and after waiting a very long time, we were so underwhelmed by the food. I had the salmon with giant cous cous, and the salmon was clearly over cooked, as was the cous cous. My… daughter’s garlic bread was as hard as a rock, like it had been sat under a warmer for the whole hour we had been waiting for our food. Our waitress asked if everything was OK, and I told her my honest opinion. She was very apologetic, and said she would go to tell the chef. After another long wait, we were handed our bill, on which, I was half expecting a drink to have been
