I will strongly recommend to have a try on their lunch menu, which the dcuk leg is absolutely 5/5, definitely worth a try if you come to Ryde for the first time!

We didnt stay at the hotel but we chose this place for my husbands birthday dinner whilst on holiday in the Isle of Wight last week. It was recommended by the owners of the Airbnb we were staying in and as it was dog friendly in the pump room, we went for it. Wish we hadnt! Overpriced, underwhelming, over rated and would not recommend. The service (as experienced in a lot of places we went to in IOW) was what I would call hostile - clearly favoured the regulars/residents over us as potential one times/holiday makers. I ordered the seafood bouillabaisse and was so disappointed. The amount

Enjoyed a 2 course lunch with some great wine yesterday. Professional yet friendly staff and relaxed brasserie. Lovely front terrace overlooking the bay where we have enjoyed drinks and watched the world go by. Recommend!

Nicely decorated room and public areas but a bit short on soundproofing. No actual sea view but only steps away from the esplanade. Great breakfasts. Good selection of food in the evening. Tesla chargers for guests.

Fantastic place for a short break in Seaview. Breakfast was great and no requests was too much hassle. Thank you!

Special lunch time visit last week, looking forward to my favourite crab ramekin. Very disappointed the hotel's signature dish is no longer on the.menu. Reason given was cost of crab meat. Strangely crab dishes seem plentiful elsewhere on the island. My email query about this is still unanswered. Shame as staff on day were very helpful.

Just visited the restaurant but left very underwhelmed. Duck was overcooked, and dry, 'spicey' aubergine steak was lethally hot (inedible). Stick with the chips and you should be okay! We did mention this to the waiter but it wasn't followed up as if they didn't really care. Only on the island for a week and such a shame we spent our last night here as I know it could be so much better!
