Pavilion in Colchester

10/10 absolutely unreal venue. We went for drinks on the terrace, they were unreal and looked beautiful. The venue is also decorated lovely.We then went downstairs to the main restaurant for some sushi, was lovely. Staff were so accommodating and friendly, will be back.

This is a classy looking restaurant with a really nice bar area and equally impressive restaurant area too.The food is really nice, you are best to order different items from the menu to build a nice amount of choice. The chilli chips are delicious. Medium price range for a restaurant of this calibre.Really enjoyed our experience.

Decor and ambience are lovely. Food was well presented and tasty. Cocktails were lovely too. Took a star off cos they didn't have scallops available but only told me when I tried to order. Also I had 2 taster plates and friend had steak from the grill. We requested it all to come at once and were told it would come as and when it's ready. I feel like they could have cooked it so it was all ready at the same time but that wasn't offered so mine came first which was a bit strange.

Cannot be anything but 5 star. Been a big fan of Mimosa for years so thought I would take my partner here as she loves Asian food.The décor is breathtaking throughout, such a great atmosphere.The food isn't cheap obviously but more than worth the cost in terms of Quality and quantity!!Shared Sushi platter to start, I'm not a massive sushi fan but it has converted me.My partner had the fish curry which again was excellent and I had the Korean beef short rib, which in truth was too big of a portion... Not that I'm complaining.Friendly staff also and the facilities exceptionally clean and tidy.Sat in the bar after our meal and had a drink as we didn't want to leave :).Will 100% be recommending to friends and coming again in 2022.

The food was very tasty. The drinks were very good. The ambiance is amazing, i loved all the decorations. The staff is very friendly. However, the service was relatively slow. We sat down at 9:15 and received our food an hour later. The place was packed because it was a Friday night. I just wish the food would come a bit quicker or at least we could have been informed that there will be a delay. I would definitely come back👌🏻

Came here with a friend of mine for a dinner date. It was a very beautiful atmosphere with lovely interior. We really liked the way everything was set up inside. The only downside is it was fairly loud inside at the time we went so it was difficult to hear each other speaking but other than that, it’s a really cute date spot. For the girls and the lads. I would definitely recommend coming here. 10/10 experience.

Overall, it was okay. I definitely feel there are better alternatives around Colchester being cheaper too. Primary reason to come here out of all other restaurants would be its place being really nice. The food is mediocre and, service is rather poor.For instance, we've had a group birthday so we had to book two separate books otherwise we would have to be subject to a taster meal menu which not everyone in a group was interested. So, we have been told to via phone when arriving we have to ask them to put us together. Yet, the response we unfortunately received was that it cannot be done due to the system. It's ambiguity, and furthermore obvious copout answer basically prevented our group for socialising each other considering we were either side of the restaurant. Continuing, the service in the kitchen and I presume managers need to be improved. We were told as soon as the food is done - rather when everyone's food is done. For instance before my starter arrived - my friend already received her starter and main. Whilst almost forgetting, when we were seated - we weren't offered any drinks and had to wait 20-30 minutes before even being offered. Very disappointing.I have provided photos of food I myself ordered, highlight was desert considering it was cute however as described it felt very mediocre.

Food was the food was great, the atmosphere was good, unfortunately the service was a bit slow. However, one of the waiters made up plenty for it. My only regret was not getting his name.In every type of service things can go wrong, it's the recovery that's important. Can't help but feel he was called Hugo, for some reason.

Came here for some beverages after work with some friends. Great atmosphere reasonable pricing and incredible atmosphere.The restaurant was clean and tidy throughout. Staff are attentive and provide extremely quick service.Unlike most places, not only do they clean the glasses (obviously) but they also then proceed to rinse them again infront of you to give you even more peace of mind.Thoroughly recommended.

Visited here as an evening out with my husband and it is a really beautiful restaurant. The decor is really stunning and the different dishes we tried were really lovely too. We liked the choice of foods to try so the tapas worked well. I wouldn't say the food was amazing but it was nice. The clientele definitely was not for us as they tended to be very young and loud in general. I have to say I agree with other reviews about the clientele. Although I would go back during the day time or for afternoon tea as perhaps that time will attract a different crowd. Service was very disjointed as we had a different waitress for most dishes and one just slapped the food on the table as she walked past and said 'enjoy' which got a bit annoying and felt quite rude by the third dish she served us. I appreciate staff are busy but just putting down the food with a bit of care and consideration would not go amiss. I do feel it is worth going just to enjoy the decor and tasting the different dishes. I would highly recommend the sharing dessert it is presented beautifully.
