really need to brush up on their allergy safety. I expressly told them my allergy was to rocket and that it had been upgraded from intolerance to moderate. When I got my starter hidden under the meat and edge of salsa was a mixture of lettuce cheese and rocket. If I hadnt moved the dish i would have ingested some of the food and likely fainted and vomited on the spot, then developed hives and for hours be itchy and nauseous. not good when your driving for nearly 2 hours home. they need to take it seriously even when busy.

Food great, all staff very pleasant and polite. There is sometimes a fine line between leaving people in peace and ignoring them. The service wasn't as attentive as it could have been, not asked if wanted drinks after initial service had to ask for desert menus. We were in no rush and was enjoying the venue, it wasn't particularly busy and plenty of staff. This survey request came through before we had even finished our meal, doesnt make you feel very wanted !

A different menu choice to most restaurants The meals we chose were excellent very tasty and well presented. Maybe too many chips for the likes of us. The staff very pleasant and also dressed smartly not necessarily a uniform but all similar no jeans to be seen

Have breakfast there at least once a month. Cannot fault the service, the food or the price. Add in the location, what more could you want for breakfast. Special mention for Lisa, who looks after us.

We usually eat at Roslin Beach but thought we would try Ocean Beach for a change. We had a chicken salad and goats cheese salad which were nice but very expensive. Waited ages for them to come up, The worse thing for us was the loud music which, with the crowded atmosphere in the conversatory, (great for you), made it difficult to talk and quite stressful. The waitress did turn it down a bit when we asked (thank you) but this is a make or break issue for me as I like to be able to enjoy conversation when I go out with friends to eat. Lovely location and nice waiting & bar staff.

Had a good time at the restaurant last night. The food was very good and the drinks OK, if a little expensive. Service was good and deserved recognition but that would have been better as a personal tip, not as a 10% service charge. Overall though well worth a visit!
