25/10/2024: Michela and her team made a giant tiramisu for my wife and I's wedding, which was the first (of hopefully many) wedding tiramisus that Michela has created. The tiramisu was a massive success, turning out exactly how we had envisioned and planned with her. All of our guests loved it and were remarking about how much tastier this was than a usual wedding cake. We are very grateful to Michela for her contribution to our special day, and wholeheartedly recommend that other tiramisu-loving couples consider doing the same!

27/10/2024: Dear Cove Bar Team, I am writing to express my disappointment with our recent experience at your establishment. We had high expectations for our visit, but unfortunately, the service and overall experience fell short from beginning to end. Initially, when we tried to make a booking by phone, we couldn’t reach anyone despite several attempts. Understanding it may be a busy spot, we decided to go in person. However, to our surprise, the bar and restaurant were quiet, yet the staff member handling bookings was nowhere to be found. When we finally located them, they were sitting at the bar with a customer deep in conversation. Our booking was taken, but it certainly didn’t inspire confidence. On the day of our reservation, we noticed other patrons were also dissatisfied. The couple next to us left after waiting over an hour for their food, and a young family nearby also voiced complaints after a similarly long wait. When we ordered drinks, one glass arrived with lipstick on the rim—an oversight that certainly affected our experience. After waiting 30 minutes to place our food order (due to the kitchen being temporarily closed), we weren’t checked on or offered additional drinks. Once our food did arrive, there was no cutlery provided, and at the end of our meal, we weren’t asked if we would like dessert. On a positive note, the food itself was nice however the entire experience was disorganised, and I felt it necessary to bring this to your attention. I hope these concerns can be addressed to improve the experience for future guests. Sincerely, Aaron

21/10/2024: We had an absolutely amazing night, the service was spectacular! The food was amazing! It Luis knows his stuff, you can see he’s passionate! The food is 5* The taster menu was a real treat for 100euro. The wine paring was fantastic but we did feel for 70 euro each it was a little bit steep for what we got. Nether the less, it was a amazing! Luis has a great team and you can see he really cares about that he does! Will definitely be back again if we can get a table !

09/10/2024: I recently dined at Le Mara restaurant and am excited to share my experience. The cuisine is simply succulent, each dish prepared with care and quality ingredients. Additionally, the service was impeccable thanks to our waitress, who was both attentive and very friendly. She was able to advise us on the menu and make our meal even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Le Mara to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Her attention to detail and true caring showed in everything she did! Sally was so lovely. Fiona made us feel so well taken care of. Ryan served us well, if you know what I mean!!😉🥃🍸. Antonio was so helpful! Micheal is a gem and always put a smile on our face! Needless to say we loved our time at the castle!! ❤️
