We visited on a Sunday as a family- my brotherâs recommendation. Being Vegetarian can sometimes make Sunday lunch a fun lottery....and the test always tends to be âhow much care do they take over the accompanying vegetables? Well happy days- every choice of accompanying vegetable was high quality, cooked perfectly and was served with a tasty sauce or flavour to add interest. I think the veggie option changes weekly so we canât wait to visit again. Oh, the service is friendly and the drinks varied and of good quality. Thank you.

Not being veggie OR vegan, I normally shy away from the 'veggie option' - but for whatever reason I chose the Veggie Burger for myself and holy mackerel ( - holy seaweed?) it was amazing.

Merchant's Manor is an impressive manor house, and with the addition of new restaurant/concept, Rastella, we were very much looking forward to dining here during our stay in Falmouth. Based on reviews and articles, we should be in for a treat. It started off well, we were received politely and showed into the bar/lounge area to order some drinks and to have a look at the menu. My wife ordered the 'English Garden' and I had the smoking 'Old Fashioned', which was supposed to arrive, presented in a smoking box. Well, my wife got her drink, but I had to wait another 10 mins on my "smoking" 'Old Fashioned', which, fair to say, WAS presented in a box, but was otherwise quite smokeless. I mean, I'm not that pretentious, but why have it on the menu if you can't deliver it? Tasted alright, but their version, with rum instead of bourbon, did not excite.We ordered our starters and mains, and was eventually seated in the restaurant. Nice table with a garden and sea view. Bread came, which definitely was not baked fresh on the day - the crust was too soft for that and had that staler feel, like they were baked the day before. Which is odd, because we were there on a Monday. I don't like to be this picky, but for the price Rastella wants for their meal, they should also deliver quality in every step, every single time. Starters were a scorched mackerel dish and the oysters, which both were nicely prepared and tasted alright. Minds were far from blown, but at least these were nice starters. And then we waited. And waited. After about 35-40 mins we had to ask for our mains and - voila - they appeared almost instantly, like they had been sitting on the hot plate for a while without anyone noticing them. It was a slow Monday evening, so who knows.The mains are the main reason for this bad review, although there were other stuff to pick on. We had the smoked duck breast and the crab/lamb, and when both dishes arrived they were cold, looked dry and sparkless, and my lamb meat was not trimmed well enough, with an unchewable tendon going through the entire cut. Hopeless, and almost inedible. Obviusly, we should have sent them both back, but as you all know if you've had such an experience before, this just kills the whole mood and dinner experience. The kitchen and serving staff should obviously have done their job well enough in the first place.To make a long story shorter, we skipped dessert, paid (way too much vs what we got) and left very disappointed, with a somewhat sour start to our holiday.

Visited with family for cream teas at lunchtime. Service was excellent helpful and friendly. There was a wide choice of scones of generous proportions and lots of jam and cream (no need to ask for extra). Quality was excellent including the gluten free scones. tucked away but well worth seeking out.
