    When we arrived it was closed due to unforseen circumstances (a note on the door) which is fair enough, these things happen. However, a text or email to let us know would have been greatly appreciated as it was New Year's Day, and there no chance of getting anywhere else booked at that point.

    Very poor experience. We booked in October and were looking forward to an evening with friends. Recieved the text confirmation the day before. Arrived at the restaurant only to find it in darkness with a note on the door. Appalling customer service as we found out that the restaurant had be shut for a number of weeks. Whilst a text saying the venue was closed would have been disappointing, it would have allowed us to book an alternative.

    On booking this restaurant, I then had to confirm booking day before which cost me money through open table. Turned up to restaurant at booking time to find restaurant closed and has been closed for two weeks before and is still closed. Not impressed!!! And on their website they still state they are OPEN!

    What can I say!? Booked table in advance, received a confirmation email a couple of days before and I confirmed our attendance. Turned up in good time on the Friday to find the place closed, with a sign on the door saying CLOSED sorry for any inconvenience. Then receive this request from OpenTable to post a review. Thankfully we only drove 20 miles for this meal and managed to find alternative restaurant as a walk-in on Friday night during half-term.

    This restaurant is closed and has been for a month apparently due to lack of staff. Very disappointed as finding somewhere else to eat last minute in Keswick isn't easy. We would however recommend the bar at the Skiddaw Hotel for accommodating us and for their delicious food and excellent service.
