"The lounge series of restaurants always seem to deliver good food and good service... but the food quality is not as good here."
"It could be we were very unlucky... both dishes we ordered at Tarko Lounge were undercooked."
"The venue was loud (acoustics of the building) which made it a challenge for us to hear each other."
"...as soon as we'd finished our meal we had to get out of there. Despite there only being about one third of the tables occupied... we struggled to hold a conversation."
"The lounge has been converted very well but don't think the food is very good... don't think we will be going back which is a shame as it's local and could have been a great asset to Witham."
"Nice relaxing atmosphere. Please fix the sticking latch on entrance door and make it automatic closing as many people are not shutting it and bringing in freezing air."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Was greeted at the entrance with a smile and was told to sit wherever we liked."
"Brilliant service and would highly recommend."
"Staff were lovely, and very helpful. Food was incredible, i had the pork belly, mash potato, braised red cabbage and tender stem broccoli off the Christmas menu and it was all cooked to perfection, and a chocolate brownie the finish. Thourolly enjoyed myself!"
"The staff, the food, drink selection. They are all amazing."
"Great little find after being out all day. Dog friendly, which is a bonus. Lots to choose from the menu and really reasonably priced. Service was good and food tasted great."
"Had breakfast today with friends, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere is so nice and homely."
"Visited Valero Saturday evening (9th March) had Pre drinks here and a small bite to eat, stuff were fantastic, seemed to really enjoy working there, enjoyed it so much they returned the following morning for brekkie, was rather impressed with the breakfast, not too long a wait either with is a bonus."
"Have been really impressed with the lounge restaurants. They are perfect for anybody with allergies."
Cons:
"The bar staff were very apologetic and I did receive a refund for one of the tapas dishes. I wouldn't rush to go back and wouldn't recommend to friends."
"Couldn't of left any happier... Quick service, well presented food and perfect temperatures."
"... but the food again took a while to arrive, but this time it was all overcooked and dry."
"We like the Lounges normally and have had good meals and service at a number of their venues across the country but the food quality is not as good here."
"My biggest problem was unattentive and quite distant staff, we wasn't greeted when we came in and shown to a table which the sign at the door asks you to wait to be seated."
"Awful place. Food brought in prepackaged as told to me by the staff, therefore undercooked or cold inside, was not their problem. Would never eat there again. Service indifferent."
"Appalling service from rude individuals. I waited ages and the app is awful and doesn’t work, then they sent the wrong food and it was cold....! At that point I asked for my money back. I will never return again...."
"Staff and food lovely. My great grand daughter was disappointed that there were no masks to color in and make also hardly any coloring pencils so not as good as last visit."
