    Very disappointing. Our server completely forgot us and for our reservation at 12:30pm lunch, the food did not get served until 1:39pm (time stamped on the photo), long 1 hour and 10 mins later, while we were starving. It would have taken longer if we didn’t look for the receptionist to please track down our server, who was apparently in a different part of the large building, since we never saw her for almost an hour. The fish and chips plate is not worth $24 plus tax and tips, two pieces of flat fish with over cooked shoe string fries, plus tax and tips. We could have had much better meal elsewhere, and without being terribly starved.

    Horrible experience! Terrible service. Ruined our evening. The waitress even told us, in the future to not go on a Friday or Saturday. We were very late to the show and part of our group didn’t stay. It was a below mediocre dinner, horrible service and ruined the evening for some.

    This was the worst experience we ever had here. It started when we were on the line to get a table. We had the nerve to inquire from the woman behind the podium if the line was for people with reservations. She very snippily respond. Responded “you’ll just have to wait in line”. The people behind us in line commented about how rude she was. We then waited 45 minutes for a drink to arrive prior to appetizers. One of our party ordered a beer off the beer menu. When the waiter came with the drinks, 45 minutes later, they brought a different beer and told him they made the decision about what beer to bring him because they were out of the one he ordered. when the manager came over to explain the situation, we told her we waited 45 minutes for drinks, and the waiter was standing near the table, chatting with a woman for 15 minutes at that time. The manager turned to us and said well, we are very busy. There had to be six empty tables in the area we were sitting. At that point, we decided not to order anything else and have dinner at another restaurant close by.

    Fun place to take out of town visitors, but never impressed by the food. Gravy on Bangers and Mash was bizarre.

    Not noisy & comfortable booth. Food was well prepared & presented nicely. The wedding soup was excellent but tiramisu was frozen although very tasty. They did give us dessert complimentary as the server was very busy & kept us waiting too long after our meal.

    Such a beautiful place with the decor and all.the different chandiers. We were seated in front of a window overlooking the water. The waitress was very friendly and helpful although it took a while for her to get back to us. The food was excellent! I had the red rabbit wine over steak. Very good! Such a nice place to celebrate Valentines day.

    We have had dinner at this location several times. Every time the food is excellent. The service is quality and the drinks are exceptional. We were accommodated to sit near the windows overlooking the water, even though we weren’t originally sat in that location. That was appreciated!

    At our 5:00 pm reservation, the hostess left to see what table she had for us and never came back. After 10 minutes I asked her colleague, who escorted us to our table. We waited approximately 20 minutes until someone came to take our drink order. They seemed short-staffed for a Saturday evening. A shame, as this was our first visit to the establishment.
