A steakhouse in a spectacular setting, inside the Indigo Hotel’s historic dining room. Steaks were good, but my medium rare was closer to medium, and had a lot of fat. The absolute stars here are the staff who made it a very special place and went to great lengths to ensure there were no issues with a dietary request. There was a decent selection of wines by the glass and plenty of options even if you’re not a steak lover. It’s a cut above your standard hotel restaurant and perfect if you’re staying at the Indigo, but prices are high for the standard of the food here.

The Fawlty Towers Restaurant! Beautiful venue, very well meaning staff, but inexperienced. The staff were very thoughtful of the needs of our party including one in a wheelchair and a child, but the memorable experience was the glasses of prosecco we ordered which tumbled off the tray when delivered. From there the balance was never really recovered, the food was then quite delayed as we'd got out of sync now. The food was "alright" though my medium-rare would count as "well done" in France. We also waited some time for the bill and I was a little surprised that we weren't given say the prosecco free or some reduction in the service charge. More highly strung people would have made a big fuss. It wasn't terrible, but somewhere between Fawlty Towers or 'The Apprentice' takes over for the evening. I guess it's hard to get staff and maybe some were students at the end of term, but it wasn't what you'd call a "polished" experience, but nor was it terrible. I just wouldn't choose to go back......
