"We booked outdoor seating for 8pm. Bookings were open until 8:30, we didn't feel this would be too late. We stood at the check in stand for 5 minutes before our presence was acknowledged. We were seated outdoors and the view was amazing! Unfortunately we needed to wait for an extensive period prior to placing our drinks order. We also needed to use the flashlights on our phones to read the menu. Table lighting was very poor. Drinks arrived at the same time as the food. We immediately cancelled our bottle of wine as we would no longer need it. One of the four drinks was incorrect. Wait staff stated they had no control over the drinks, they merely deliver said drinks. When I worked table service, verifying the order was part of the job. This has changed? In a very expensive restaurant? The food as delivered was delicious. It was, however, very difficult to remove the shell from the tiger prawns in one of the dishes in the dark. Cell phone flashlights were again deployed. There was no dish provided to place the very large prawn shells. The server disappeared, not to be seen again until the bill was requested by waving down said server. An adjoining diner, stopped by our table on the way out, identified himself as a native Wight resident and apologized for the poor service and said he was embarrassed for the area. We had already noted that he had successfully requested the removal of the automatically added service fee from his bill while expressing his displeasure with the service. (We also had the fee removed) OK so, fabulous food, great view of the pier. But we were unable to see our food and the service was horrendous. Don't waste your money here the Terrace a few doors down was SO much better."
