Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had an evening meal for two here. The restaurant was fairly quite, with only three tables occupied. Had a couple of beers, a starter and main course. The manager let us know that because all the food was prepared fresh that we would need to...wait, nevertheless, our starter arrived within 10 mins and the main course prompty after we had finished our starter. Food was good and tasty, and nicely presented. The waiter was down to earth and friendly, which we liked. Overall, very pleasant experience and good quality food. Would have no hesitation in recommending it.More

Visited Valentines evening and unfortunately very disappointing. We decided to go straight to mains and ordered a bottle of wine whilst we waited. First bottle of wine couldn’t be opened the cork was so dry so we had another bottle brought to us. My husband...had the burger but the chips didn’t arrive until over 20 minutes later and we had our mains finished….can’t understand how you send out a plate of food without its sides. I had the duck which was pink but no fat was rendered off so it was just chewy and the candied pears/mandarins dotted around the plate were just raw fruit. The mash was nice but that’s about it..we did eat it as we were never asked if everything was ok and we were starving but I don’t blame the servers as they had a lot to do between 2 of them. Overall a very poor experience.More

My partner and i went here for my birthday. First of all they could have done with another person to serve as it was quiet busy for just the 2 members of staff that were there. My partner ordered soup and the crab salad which...they did'nt have. So we both ended up ordering the funghi arrosto which was described as toasted onion bread topped with flat mushroom, pesto and buffalo mozzarella cheese, what came out was mushrooms in gravy on bread and it was'nt very appealing. For main course i got the chicken maryland and sweet potato fries which were both burnt. My partner got the burger and he said it was edible. I got the cheesecake and he got the brownie which were both tasty.More

Cannot recommend Indulge enough. We began our fine dining experience with a mushroom dish to start, it tasted Devine. Our mains were a chicken dish which was stuffed with Clonakilty black pudding with a creamy sauce, champ & roast veg. Each element was delicious, the...surf & turf was sea bass & slow cooked beef brisket with sauces for each served separately. We ended our candlelit evening with brandy. Our server was Marius who was a smiling charming French man from Brittany who could not do enough for us. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner. Your food is stunning in gorgeous surroundings with a relaxed ambiance. If you haven’t tried Indulge, you are missing out. Presentation was superb.More

Enjoyed a fabulous meal (everything is freshly cooked to order, portion sizes are great, dishes are flavourful, beautifully arranged and good selection of choices) in Indulge this evening with our extended family. We’ve been meaning to try this place since it opened but are only...getting back into the swing of eating out post-Covid. How lucky are we to have such a beautiful dining concept in our town - this will be a regular of ours from now on. Thank you so much for a fabulous meal!More
