Went on a mums' night out in December. Place was freezing, service very slow & staff not very attentive. We were there mid-week and there was no atmosphere. Paying separate bills proved very chaotic and several individuals were charged twice for drinks. Definitely wouldn't rush back. Food was pretty average.

Lovely corner seating overlooking the racecourse. Very comfortable. Party of three, three courses, drinks, plus glass of wine each (nice viognier) a coffee and a tea for two of us came to £90. Good value. Starters not too filling (welsh rarebit very nice). Hake fillet with roast vegs very pleasant for main, and desserts more than adequate (nice panna cotta).... More

Excellent from beginning to end. Went as a party of three for Mothering Sunday Lunch. Service was very attentive, but not overly so. The restaurant itself feels very fresh and modern, and the view over the racecourse is nice and it must be a great spot on race day. Portions were just right. When we mentioned that the lamb dish...

The decor is lovely, location is great with nice views of the Racecourse and the food was good. However, we were extremely rushed and had a mere 3 minutes between starters and main courses. We had about 4 different waiting on staff and each took it in tuens to come to the table to ask us for our drinks order... More

4 of us visited 1539 after reading some great reviews. The atmosphere was brilliant and the food was superb. The downside was the standard of service... very very poor. We requested a jug of water that took 20 minutes to appear, after we had finished our starters!! Then the bottle of red wine we ordered turned up just as we... More

Good food, with great view of the racecourse, all in lovely surroundings. They do a set lunch menu - 2 courses for only £10 which is very good. The set 3 course dinner is also good value for £15.39. It's very modern, light and airy and the food will not disappoint you.

Friends 30th birthday meal ruined by mediocre food, bad service, rude management and hassle with the bill. Will not return personally and would not recommend to anyone else.
