Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our Christmas work function was a delight this year as we all enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and great service at Sculptureum. We felt relaxed and welcomed, awesome place. Thankyou.

I took my husband there for his Birthday lunch on 23rd November. The entire experience was Outstanding! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, The food was exquisite, well presented and very tasty. The parklike surroundings make it so tranquil too. We had been there...before but for dinner, so it was lovely to see it during the daytime. I was so impressed I have booked a group of 8 friends in January for lunch.More

Really lovely spot. Our server was attentive and interactive. Really enjoyed it. We went for a team Christmas lunch and the service was fast, food was good and dessert was to die for. Will definitely go again.

fantastic location and setting. The food was great which we paired with the local wine and the Sculptureum walk afterwards was the icing on the cake. Our whole group enjoyed every minute of our afternoon. Well worth a visit.

We came here for dinner. The staff were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and the ambience was amazing. They were kind enough to offer us a dessert on the house because it was my partner's birthday and they put a candle on it and...everything. It was just the most wonderful experience.More

Had the new Seafood lunch. Five delicious courses served simultaneously with fries and salad. As usual standard of food was five star as was the service. Available every Sunday we will definitely find another reason to go this summer. Crayfish salad was a favourite and...the marinated tuna. All in all a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours.More

The place was relatively empty yet all the guests were packed in on tables next to each other. The food was nice but the portions were so small that after and entree and a main each we both left still hungry. Very expensive for an...average experience.More

We were a party of ten, including three children, celebrating a 70th Birthday. What was to be a celebratory lunch with family from overseas turned out to be very disappointing. Without exception, our main courses were served luke warm and both the lamb and steak...options were undercooked and served rare. We would have sent them back but did not want to spoil the occasion. The accompanying vegetables were sparse and we found the service slow and impersonal. We chose Rothko having been impressed previously with the restaurant. Unfortunately it appears to have lost some of its appeal.More
