I love going to alecs, but it has changed over the years. portions have got smaller, prices have increased, but its still a place i love going. it's a very expensive restaurant for the portion size but the view is beautiful if you sit at the back overlooking the fields
I have been to alec's multiple times, and every time, it is more heartwarming than the rest. great ambience, great food, and amazing customer service. for anything from a date to a family night out of a private party, i would recommend alec's without a doubt.
Had heard many recommendations about alec's so when a client suggested we meet there for lunch i was more than happy. friday lunch looked like they had 25 covers and was offered a seat on veranda? this is covered by a powered roof, which was partially open due to hot weather. in summary it's got the wow factor when you walk in and the food was good but not special or memorable, for me there was no love given to the mains (scallops and prawns) or the 4 sides. bread and snacks as well as the complimentary prosecco? were delicious good bits decor view from table menu service, our guy was natural and efficient (see bad bits though) starters bad bits roof kept dripping water onto us and even into drinks service was simply annoying. while having conversations we were topped up by 3 different servers about 6 times. some may like this but it was simply too much and we needed to stop talking each time food seemed unsophisticated and although good wasn't special or memorable car park gravel. personal hate, get it covered with tarmacadam others could easily have given 2 stars for a 2 person £144 lunch but the look. service (of one waiter) and ambiance puts alec's in a league of its own in essex
The atmosphere shouts elegance. all the staff were incredible and lots of food options which change regularly. i would definitely recommend and can't wait to return.
Was the first visit, will not be my last. when i've been to any other fish restaurant, i am a little apprehensive as i usually come out still feeling hungry. not at alec's. portions were ample and sides were much larger than we expected. service was unbelievably good, in fact, exceptional. couldn't fault anything. a fantastic way to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary.
