Thought we would call in for an early dinner on a beautiful sunny afternoon. What a lovely location. simply stunning. Walked in and the young lady behind the bar said to take a seat and someone would bring us menus. There were probably 4 other couples there and some groups on the lawn. Not too busy and plenty of staff. 10 mins later no menus and staff walking through then disappearing out the back, , so I got up and found some menus from the centre station.
Read those for a while and still no one approached so I ordered at the bar.
Food arrived in fast time. . I ordered the salmon which was tasty but was literally the width of two fingers. TINY!!! for $30 you expect something bigger than a finger. My wife ordered the sirloin steak $36 and it was luke warm when served but she said it was tasty. The demiglaze on the side was cold so that was untouched, sides of cauliflower were luke warm. Coffee you guessed it Luke warm. Nothing was hot or close to it.
Sat there for 50 mins with plates on our table after we had finished. Staff walking around serving others, One staff member walked past us 5 times and no contact. So we had dessert at another restaurant. One that values the custom.
So disappointing as its a great location but staff need a rev up big time and chef needs to be more generous and learn how to serve hot food. When i commented as I paid I just got a blank stare, no apology, no feedback, nothing. The guy just stared at me. won't be back until you guys can do what you say you can on your website.
