28/06/2026: For a steak restaurant within a luxury 4-star hotel, the expectations are clear: excellent quality beef, cooked properly, accompanied by good sauces, served hot, with attentive service and an enjoyable atmosphere.
Service: Mostly very good, and the maître d' was excellent, although another review was right that there were some very young kids serving also.
Food: Very disappointing.
We ordered the chateaubriand for two, rare, with Béarnaise and peppercorn sauces, aligot potatoes and fries. It also came with vegetables.
The food took a very long time to arrive. The waitress did acknowledge and apologise for the long wait, which we appreciated. When it did arrive, everything was cold!
The châteaubriand was cooked correctly, but lacked flavour. It should be beautifully delicate, buttery and melt in the mouth, but the wad probably the wrist I've had
The Béarnaise sauce had clearly split, making it bitter and completely inedible - something the chef should never have served.
The "aligot" was simply mashed potato with and cheese and a few chives, nothing like true aligot.
We'd already waited so long that we couldn't face sending it back and waiting again, so I ate the plain steak and cold vegetables.
Overall: Expensive considering it was just "fine."
I didn't leave hungry, but I did leave very disappointed. For a restaurant that prides itself on steak, it simply didn't deliver.
15/05/2026: We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at The Cedar Rooms in Farnham Estate! The food was amazing from start to finish—every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor.
What made the evening truly special, though, was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Isla, was so friendly and helpful the entire evening. Her warm hospitality and attentive care genuinely made the whole experience even better.
We highly recommend dining here and will definitely be back!
