Went for early dinner as a couple.
Took a walk through the wonderful garden, which set the mood for the dinner. We were offered the opportunity to have drinks in the lounge before dinner and were served complimentary snacks. A very nice touch.
We had the carpacccio which I rate, the best I have had.
I had the fish, and my wife the pork belly, mains.
The portions are sizeable, and should be enough, even for dinner.
Both dishes were thoughtfully compiled and served beautifully.
The deserts were panacotta and a speciality white chocolate mouse layered with strawberries and Philo pastry....Delicious.
Service excellence is to be expected and we were not disappointed.
A memorable evening in a beautiful setting.

This was a last minute booking, but as I've always wanted to dine at the Conservatory I was excited.

From the moment I stepped through the door, everyone was smiling and polite. I knew it was going to be a good experience.

I met my sisters for lunch. There weren't many people aside from us, as it was a public holiday, but the ambience was still lovely and the service was great.

What I liked was that even though we were there for restaurant week, they gave us options with the menu and still gave us exceptional service. The food was incredible and I really enjoed the experience.

I have already recommended the restaurant to friends and family and I'll definitely return.

"Highly forgettable lunch."
4.0 Cuisine 6 | Service 2 | Atmosphere 4

The hotel is beautiful and we enjoyed the martini bar.
Unfortunately, the restaurant was a disappointment. Service in the restaurant was almost non-existent. The starters were good, but the mains and deserts were very average. The wine list is quite overpriced compared to other restaurants. Overall, not somewhere I would recommend.

We booked under the restaurant week heading but when we got there we were mistakenly given A la carte menus which we did not realise were wrong, when the bill came we queried it with the waitress who checked and realised that the mistake was theirs & adjusted the bill accordingly. We now know that we should have been given a limited menu so cannot really comment except to say that the food we had was delicious & we will go back again. We had at least 3 reminders of our booking so somewhere the message did not seem to have got through to the restaurant.we enjoyed an A la carte dinner for the price of the restaurant week one.

"Lovely"
7.3 Cuisine 6 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 8

What a lovely evening at the Conservatory - friendly and efficient staff, quaint and romantic setting. The restaurant week dinner menu offered sufficient variety on their 2 and 3 course menus. The cheese soufflé was delicious, the yellowtail and fudge panna cotta were also okay. Good selection of wine but on the high end. Overall lovely.
