The food at Mt Erica is great, but don’t go there if you have trouble hearing. The dining room is loud as guests speak up over the background music that could possibly be turned down a notch to bring the experience up to a 5/5 on all fronts.

I had a very enjoyable dining experience, and while I unfortunately didn't catch the name of our wonderful host, I felt compelled to share my positive impressions. From the moment we stepped through the door, the service was excellent. The gentleman who greeted us and showed us to our table was truly fantastic. He was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. He possessed a keen eye for detail, as evidenced by his quick observation of a flat glass of Fizz. Without any prompting, he immediately replaced it with a fresh, bubbly one – a small gesture that spoke volumes about his commitment to customer satisfaction. The food itself was also very tasty. Each dish was well-prepared and flavorful, leaving us completely satisfied. While I won't delve into specific menu items, as tastes are subjective, I can confidently say the quality was consistently high. Overall, the combination of delicious food and exceptional service made for a truly good experience. The unnamed gentleman at the entrance deserves a special mention for his outstanding hospitality. He set the tone for a delightful evening, and his attentiveness was much appreciated. I would happily recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.

The food is always great and the staff are always helpful and welcoming when bringing a child to dinner. However the music in the dining room tends to be loud and a bit more like going out late for drinks (which I guess is because there is a bar to the side), not out for a family meal at 5pm (with the dining room half empty)! Older members of the family found it particularly difficult to hear and join conversation (which wasn't quiet by any means, as we tried to be heard over the noise)!
