Cornwall Park Bistro

Visited last sunday around 1pm with my husband and received an amazing service. Bistro was buzzing with people, and when we asked for a table for 2, we were advised that there may be an hour wait for food. This made us hesitant in taking the seat but decided to wait. As we got seated I asked the staff if fries are something that could be cooked quickly. Staff advised they couldn't guarantee it which was understandable. We were a little hungry so ordered beer and chips along with our food and asked if we could possibly have these served before the mains. To our surprise the chips and aioli was served soon after our beer and as we munched halfway thru it, our main meals came ;) Which only ended up being 30min wait rather than an hour. Greatly appreciated the early food. Staff were super kind and did their best to meet our needs.

The food was outstanding which was to be expected. My girl and I went to celebrate our 21st Anniversary and it was a lunch date. The food was quick to come out and the staff were attentive but just a little bit cold for my liking. I get a warmer reception from McDonald's tbh. Elderly couple both slowly moving up the ramp to the door with walking sticks, lady was holding onto the rail with the other hand and no one was there at the front to help them in so I quickly rushed up to open the door and guided them through. Any decent human would've done the same but I get it, understaffed and everyone is busy but just trying to call out "extra for experts". All that adds to the service and atmosphere in my view. Also, the atmosphere would've been great if the guy from the other table didn't keep walking past trying to study what we were eating. Decided I'd had enough and eyeballed him. He got the message and never came back. Anyway... where was I again? Ah yes. The food was outstanding. Would I go back? Absolutely.

The food is divine and frankly the highlight. The setting was lovely with a stylish atmosphere. The lack of carpet and high ceilings make the rooms echo and hard to converse. The open doors on a cold day it very nippy. The wait staff were present but neglectful, drink refills and dessert menus should be offered. These are slight niggles that can be easily fixed, I would definitely try this again.

We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing. It was pretty close to full house. Coffee was strong and to my liking. Meals are well priced and generous portions. Service was good and foods were served in good time despite the busyness. Great atmosphere, airy and spacious. Toilets were well taken cared of too.
