the highlight of the Petrel Hotel is the staff who went over and above to look after us. Harriet was cheerful, efficient, extremely helpful with our meal selections. We really did enjoyed her bright personality. We thought the room decor clean, comfortable and airy. The food was enjoyable and the chips perfect. We recommend this Hotel for an enjoyable lunch.

The hospitality staff, specifically the gregarious female (B) with lots of rings, was outstanding. She was so friendly, and knowledgeable about the delicious food. She was attentive but not over the top. She was the highlight, with the delicious share plates coming a close second. The ambience was cool, as was the music and the decor. This was my first visit, and I will definitely be returning some time soon:) Thank you for a lovely experience.

Service and food excellent, so a very enjoyable experience. A bit hard to converse properly, as a bit noisy, but that is not something you can control. Will definitely come again.
