Review of McKendrick's

My party of six visited this restaurant last night...

My party of six visited this restaurant last night and it was a disaster. The noise level was unprecedented and I noted one guest complaining about it and requesting that his party be moved as a result. The lobster bisque tasted terrible and could not be eaten. I wasn't the only one at the table that ordered this dish and was disappointed. I should have noted the problem with the abundance of cream that was dumped into the dish to hide the poor taste. I have had lobster bisque on many occasions and had never tasted anything so poorly prepared. The dish presented a weird taste that I couldn't put my finger on. The main course was steak and jumbo prawns which were also a disappointment. I requested that my steak be prepared well done it was delivered to the table rare. One of our other guests also had to return her steak to be prepared properly. The side dishes lobster mashed potatoes and lobster mac were cold. My wife's escargot had sand in it which points to preparation not being proper for the dish. I will never visit this restaurant again and will advise friends and family to stay clear of this place. If your wondering what the disaster/disappointment cost me $184.61 and yes I tipped our waiter who was the only part of the dinner which we enjoyed. Nothing the waiter could have done to fix the issues in the kitchen but he tried.
