The Lounge Restaurant at Lilianfels Resort & Spa

Smelly seating,chairs busted, dusty furniture, smeary glass dining tables ,Unclean bathrooms. Food ok not worth the price.Waitress was sour faced and not friendly.Didn’t try dessert ,not a good birthday for my mum.In all disappointing and not worth travelling for

Limited choices and some meals weren’t as advertised but very nice all the same

The food and setting were amazing. The service was bad only because they only had 2 people on service ( including behind the bar) These ladies were amazing but grossly understaffed which meant we waited 40 mins for a drink to be served ( 2 glasses of wine ...) All credit to Jess and the other lady but Lilianfels is totally understaffed. The hotel was packed and they didn't have the staff to serve the customers.

It took 10 mins to get acknowledged despite heaps of staff walking around setting and wiping down tables. Drinks took around 20-30 mins to arrive, had to constantly wave down passing servers to get water, to order, to follow up order etc. presentation was awful... looked like slop on a plate. They didn’t clear empty cocktail glasses or plates prior to dessert. Food tasted ok. Disappointing experience for the high price. The service really let it down.

This was a real find. Very welcoming, great advice from the staff, delicious bistro style food and good wine options. You cannot beat the view and the ambiance is a lovely time capsule from an elegant time.

Nice food, scones are amazing. Lovely atmosphere especially with piano playing.

Good service,and the view amazing

Very enjoyable dining experience - tasty, great service in outstanding surroundings with a strong sense of history.

The Lounge decor was dated and tired. My seat was stained and had crumbs and food bits on it from the previous diners. The floor below was also dirty. Service was curt and efficient enough. We were served by four different people so there wasn’t a sense of personalized service which I think Lilianfels prides itself on. The lunch food was good value but the high tea wasn’t. Some elements of the high tea had obviously been refrigerated or possibly frozen for some time and this generally gave the impression it was less than a freshly made high tea which I would expect for $55.

Excellent restaurant and food.

lovely friendly atmosphere great to relax after the meal in a lounge for coffee and drinks

We had the High Tea -- which was extremely good -- but probably the most expensive High Teas I have ever had. The experience at Lilafells was probably worth the expense.

Great starters & mains !

Very tasty scones.

Perfect for a ladies lunch or high tea. Highly recommended.

Decor very tired and lounges stained--not a good look!
