St Petrocs Bistro - PADSTOW

Visited the restaurant when we were down in Cornwall in Sept. The meal was very good and service was excellent. It's a relatively expensive meal though. Service: 5 Location: 4

A friend and I booked here as a treat for my birthday earlier in the year. We'd had 2 nights at fistral beach prior to staying at Rick's Cafe in Padstow. We were really looking forward to experiencing Rick's renowned menu. Our table was booked for 7.30pm. We ordered starters after 8pm and I know scallops are a special treat but £19.95 for 3 felt expensive but as we were at St Petrocs I thought it will be worth it. My friend order the fish soup for her main, which we eventually received well after 9pm after asking where they were. We didn't order desserts. We asked for the bill which also took a while and then the restaurant had emptied and no-one came to let us pay. We walked to the reception and asked kitchen staff if we could pay. All the waiting staff were in the office. The manager/concierge took our payment without acknowledgement of our wait. The waitress had removed the soup from the bill as my friend had gone past wanting it after ordering nearly 2 hours previously. Not the standard of service or experience expected. Disappointing took the shine off, although food was nice but not as outstanding as expected.

Had a lovely evening meal, perfect Service: 5 Location: 5

Visited this week as a celebration meal with my wife. The food was very tasty, however I must agree with the other reviews in that the service was woeful and we found ourselves looking for staff, despite the restaurant appearing fairly well staffed. Service: 2 Location: 4
