When we go out for a meal we joke by saying "this one counts" or "this one doesn't count". This one counts. The Greek lady there (manageress?) went above and beyond. Ευχαριστώ.

Food was really good, the waitress serving us the majority of the time was great but the waitress who brought the starter, the waitress we asked about the desserts and the waiter we queried the liqueur coffee with….not so good! Made to feel like we were being stupid and after having visited the Mustard Seed for in excess of 20 years albeit not regularly, hasn’t left a very good feeling. The standard of food has always been fantastic but not so sure about the serving staff just now

All staff & ambience 1st class. A little disappointed with food. Wife had fish pie which wasn't very hot and had very little fish. Roasted veg was not roasted 8 - 10.

Portions were smaller than expected, my main the seabass was disappointing due to it appearing to be “wet” as if cooked in water and not as flaky as it should be can’t explain any further and no jokes about it being from the sea 🤣. I go for seabass a lot in restaurants if it’s on the menu and was the worst I’ve tried. Dessert was amazing though and big portion (fudge cheesecake). Thankfully it was lunch menu of 2 courses for £17. Staff super nice and the atmosphere lovely. We’ve been here before and like it so returned and probably will again and try something different.

Was able to get a late seating in fairly short notice. Food was good. Service prompt and friendly. We felt, however, a bit rushed with the adjacent tables being somewhat noisily prepped for the following day’s service.

Probably one of the worse experiences in any restaurant I've eaten in. Food was decent, so that wasn't really the issue. Service, well that leaves a lot to be desired. We were sat at our table, the host was very friendly, he should have served us. A couple of minutes our main server came over, gave us some bread and took our drink our order. My wife asked for a mocktail, the server said it was a raspberry and passion fruit drink. My wife said she would have that then she said it it is either raspberry or passion fruit, well that's not how she put it. My wife said she would have passion fruit. I ordered a coke, the server said a diet coke. I repeated no, a coke please. Drinks came a few minutes later, no surprise really that we got a diet coke and my wife got a raspberry mocktail, which is no surprise as I felt out server didn't listen. I didn't say anything as it's not a big issue. The server then snatched our bread basket. Our starters came out, and as I mentioned the food dishes were nice enough but not outstanding. We then got our mains, no check back from anyone. As one of the better reputable restaurants town. I'd at least expect a check back. But our server,listening to her at other tables not just ours her service skills was so poor, very abrupt and not really listening to guests. We were offered coffee and desserts at least but we were served so badly we declined, she brought the bill over and as we were using a voucher to pay for our meal as it was a gift. It covers the meal, she then snapped ,no feeling as it was an inconvenience or cheap us paying with the voucher. We were in the restaurant at our booking time of 5pm and we were out at 5.50. I've never felt so rushed or poorly served in a restaurant like I was at this booking. My son got these gift vouchers for my wife and as a Christmas gift. We've actually told him if he's going to do that again please don't get us mustard seed restaurant vouchers again. We went be back! Just for reference I think our servers name is Andrea.

We attended for our wedding anniversary (3rd time so far, with many more visits planned!) and as always, the food, staff and atmosphere were top notch. Would highly recommend booking a table as opposed to being a walk-in, as it is extremely popular
