We went to Gilbeys after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor for my sons 21st. We were aware of the decor from the other reviews but kept an opened mind. We were warmly greeted and sat down to a drink by the bar where we were brought canapes which were lovely. We were shown to our table in the dining room... More

Mrs. Gilbey was extremely helpful in arranging my family celebration which we all enjoyed. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Gilbey's Restaurant. I think it would be hard to find such a combination of quality and price. More

I have to say that the evening that I shared with my wife at Gilbeys was the most surreal dining experience we have ever had. We had booked on the basis of the fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor and we were looking forward to a complete dining experience. What was surreal was the fact that we were the only people in... More

This amazing restaurant is tucked away off the beaten track in a small hotel. The food is amazing some of the best dishes I have ever had. The staff are attentive but not over the top. The hotel decor on arrival does not prepare you for the restaurant within the hotel. Worth a visit, once you have been you will... More

Took my future mother in law here for her birthday after finding it on trip advisor. Don't be put off by the decor in the main entrance of the hotel. The food and service will more than make up for it. Amazing!!!! More
