I have eaten there over the last three years. On Friday 19th March I had an excellent Fillet steak. I have never had a bad experience there. I own a restaurant in Sussex which serves fresh food,freshly prepared by a talented chef. When I eat out I try to avoid going to places where I will end up eating from The Fabuoluous Brothers Brake range served by the chef 'du ping'. This rules out most pubs and sadly increasingly many restaurants. Yes the Spinakker is quite expensive and yes the setting is not a typical restuarant. But the food is freshly prepared and is al a carte. Not a Brake Brohters box in sight ( I checked). With food you get what you pay for. This is a chef turning out high quality dinners with fresh ingredients not someone stuffing brake brothrs into a microwave.
Don't think the food is the point at issue; it's the, ahem, "customer service" and "warm friendly welcome" that seems to be the source of most comment...............

Rope was about to break so took it down and haven't yet got round to fix it - especially as I didn't think anybody ever noticed it - so you did well to notice it when it wasn't even there.
Guess Phantom's you know who eh?
Ate there on Sunday night with Chris_B4 and family (4 adults and 5 kids in total) - food excellent, total cost was £130 or so, service absolutely excellent (particularly wrt the kids, which is rare), apart from one brief flash of the 'Mr Grumpy' persona when we tried to order food before the kitchen was properly open, and there was a rush on at the bar.
