Was a lovely experience at Mharsanta. Service was fabulous and attentive but not overly bearing. Food was beautifully prepared - we had Sunday Roast and it was excellent. My meat had more fat on than I would have liked but that was maybe just my preference. My husband said his was perfect. Plenty of varied options on menus and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely return.

I am usually a fussy bugger. The food was beautiful. Had the lunch menu and chose croquettes, Mharsanta pie then apple pie. The service was fabulous.

La comida correcta, el empanado del fish&chips era demasiado grasiento incluso para un fish&chips, y es molesto que ni siquiera pregunten si uno desea dejar tips, por lo demás bien, aunque no volveríamos.

The food here is usually pretty good and we have been eating there off & on for years. Last night was no exception - nice food, great wine and professional & friendly service. We often use it pre-theatre before a show at the Tron.

Tried to eat early as I was in town earlier than expected. They were unable to accommodate. Then tried to seat me late at my assigned time. My waiter at some point became the bartender and never returned and didn’t appear to pass me off to anyone as I kept having to ask for service and waited 1/2 hour for my check. The food while tasty had a bay leaf in the soup, when I pointed out that they are indigestible I was told they always leave them in. Find that hard to believe, as they can be dangerous. No accommodation was offered. I will not return
