"Visited the Cree Inn one year ago at same time of year with my partner. We had an amazing experience. Waiter and chef were so warm and welcoming and the food was delicious, especially the homemade cheesecake. We ended up staying after dinner and having more drinks in the bar because it was so nice. However we returned this year and were so disappointed. Was unsure of serving times so called the restaurant during the day and was advised stop serving at 8.30pm. We arrived at 8pm (having worked in the catering industry prev I know this isn't an ideal time however we were on holiday and time got away it shouldn't have effected service). We were served by a young lad who had no customer service skills and looked like he would rather be anywhere else. We were the only two people in the full restaurant. He then advised us about all the menu options that were not available, which left little to choose from. I advised I would probably just have a starter and desert, while my partner finally decided on a starter and one of the burgers with all the extras. Waiter then came back and said no burgers available. At that point fed up with the negative atmosphere and limited food choice, we decided to just order two starters and then head somewhere else. We got two drinks and two desserts costing only £22 whereas had the service been the same as before and food items actually on the food menu that were advertised we would have easily spent upwards of a £100. When we come back next year we will not return."
