The Lookout Eatery - St Columb Major

We ate here on Friday 2 Feb (four of us) it was exceptional we had Sunday lunch (fourteen of us) on the 4th Feb and again it was exceptional however we were very disappointed with afternoon tea on the Saturday.

Booked for a special occasion meal. Although it was winter so very quiet the staff were really friendly and it still felt a nice atmosphere. Food was excellent.. steaks cooked to perfection. Husband had a dessert which was super ginger and apple with shedloads of clotted cream. Very good all round.

Excellent food, all freshly cooked tasty. Staff very good, efficient friendly.

Since the change from 'The Green Room ' to 'The Lookout ' the restaurant is nowhere near as good. Service was poor, soup was cold and ordering a side salad without rocket meant we got a side salad with rocket in it. The restaurant needs to listen to their customers. Previously stayed at Retallack twice and had fantastic meals at the Green Room. The only thing it has kept since the change of name is the high prices. Not worth it.

If you are staying at the resort or using the facilities then the Lookout Restaurant (as it is now called) is a great place to eat. However it is not cheap, the food is good and I can't say I was unhappy with any of the meals I had there, but I can't help but feel that the prices are somewhat reflective of the fact and there is no local competition and that you are a captive audience. I would certainly recommend going there for a couple of meals during a stay at the resort but the costs would prevent most people from having every meal there.
