Had lunch with friends and my son, we all love the food. We had only main course and dessert and the 3 of us who ordered prawn risotto and it was tasty so delicious. The portion is perfect. The dessert is also delicious. The staff are friendly, accommodating and the overall experience is marvellous. It’s my second time here. We will definitely go back again.

Five is us went to Fontana at lunchtime on Wednesday to celebrate our friends selling their business. As we have come to expect, we had another wonderful meal - the food was excellent, the service too, the ambience / music was just right (even though the restaurant was a bit quiet at that time). Everyone was enjoying our time so much, we stayed there for 2.5 hours and no-one complained. Truly wonderful time together at Fontana!

Booked for Sunday lunch and surprised the restaurant was not too busy, but this was very beneficial for us! Staff extremely attentive refilling glasses with iced water without having to ask! Menu on a Sunday is not as extensive as week days, as is normal practice here, but there was something for everyone in our party of five. It is a set menu 2 or 3 courses. I asked if I could change the pork chop to chicken on one choice and this was absolutely no problem. We all finished everything on the plate, all choices spectacular! Chicken juicy and tasty, pork chop massive, fish cooked perfectly. All vegetables cooked really well and plenty of them. Dessert was delicious! We will definitely be back to try out a lot of the other choices! Well done chefs and waiting staff!

We have eaten at Fontana a number of times and always found the food to be of the highest quality. Really excellent choice of dishes on the menus and top end presentation. My only minor issue is that the service can be a little slow sometimes, but overall I would recommend Fontana to anyone looking for great food and a pleasant environment.

It’s depressing to have such an autumnal menu in July! Menu is very complex- at times I need to google names. Food was good, but not fabulous, sorry Fontana.
