Hotel du Vin & Bistro - Cambridge

Delicious scallop and perfectly cooked (pink) calves liver.

Service was poor, especially drinks, incomplete rounds, always one forgotten, took ages to get the outstanding drinks in the round on one occasion brought a different drink to what was ordered but kept it as couldn’t face the wait. Didn’t even put the water on the table, got it ourselves as no one around to ask. Don’t know where they were stationed but not visible from our table So very disappointed they charged 10% service charge for drinks

Disappointing. They couldn’t find my OpenTable booking when I arrived. The food was cold and I had to take the soup back to the kitchens myself to reheat. The ambience and food when reheated were fine. But service was poor. Not surprised the place was empty. A wasted opportunity.

Staff and ambience were great. Food was nice. Nothing outstanding. Good value for money.

Expensive for the poor quality food. The smoked salmon starter was tasteless. It’s was crying out for a dill dressing or similar . The sirloin steak was so tough that my friend had to ask for another knife to cut it. But it was still very chewy . My veg main was non descript This was disappointing as it was a 70 th birthday celebration . We did get given a complimentary glass of bubbly which was a nice touch. Dining room was near empty which suited us but lacked atmosphere .
