Food Quality

Pros:

  • "100% food quality, succulent taste, expertly cooked and presented."
  • "The food was amazing, other than the jumbo prawns, which were cold and seemed a bit overcooked."
  • "The steak sandwich for me and a burger for my partner, which were both delicious."
  • "The best steak I've ever eaten."
  • "Food is really tasty."
  • "We've been here twice recently and have had amazing meals both times."
  • "Absolutely amazing experience. Great atmosphere, great selection of drinks but best of all the outstanding customer service."
  • "The food here was absolutely phenomenal! Obviously the star of the show was the steak."

Cons:

  • "Don't have the festive roast! Worse roast I have had in a long time: Cold veg, hardly any gravy, tiny bit of meat."
  • "The food wasn’t as good as expected and a bit dry."
  • "Asian beef extremely oily. Steak wasn’t as nice, tough & chewy."
  • "Had a really good meal here recently, although I was somewhat disappointed with the Pulled Beef Tacos (NEW) I know this is a starter but these were 3 small portions."
  • "Very poor slow service hardly anyone in there and we had pre-booked so no excuse, no apologies from staff. Food was poor 9 steaks ordered and only 1 was cooked as requested."
  • "The food is good. Steak is usually well made. Sometimes you may need to pre-book as the restaurant can be very busy at certain times of the day, mostly evenings."
  • "Really good food. Went with friends for a lunchtime deal which was very reasonable. The full price evening menu was a bit pricey for our budget."
  • "Food pretty good, but a long wait. Principle reason we won't go back, is that the music was far too loud (and a dreadful selection)."

Service

Pros:

  • "Expertly cooked and presented matching by great customer service."
  • "Staff were really friendly. Would go again 100%."
  • "Friendly, efficient and prompt service, food absolutely delicious and really appreciate the generous 25% blue light discount."
  • "The waitress Karen was very friendly and attentive."
  • "Greeted by Karen who also served us. Food was very good as was the service."
  • "The service was pretty good, the lady that served us was friendly."
  • "Great atmosphere and decor upon entering. We were promptly shown to our table and within minutes the waiter had greeted us and taken our drinks order."
  • "Went with the Family to celebrate my Daughter's 15th Birthday, a first visit for us all. Restaurant is lovely and we were greeted by very friendly staff and seated quickly."

Cons:

  • "We were part of a big table with a few issues with food. Very disappointed considering their food is on the higher end price point."
  • "Sunday lunch was great, food is really tasty. Service was good, the staff are very welcoming and polite but slow when busy."
  • "Customer service outstanding, but food was disappointing."
  • "Myself and fiancé had our first visit near the start of this year, and we were impressed by everything. On our most recent visit though, we both ordered 2 fizzy drinks and were waiting around almost 10 minutes for a simple drink to pour."
  • "The most slow service ever the past 3 times I have been here it is a surprise I even come back but the food is always good despite the horrendous wait times."
  • "It was 5 pm and not busy at all. The service was almost non-existent and I had to ask for drinks when we arrived as we had waited over 15 minutes for our waitress to come to the table."
  • "Really poor service and customer care the manager was obviously not that bothered to rectify or compensate our disappointment. Badly run restaurant with little customer focus."
  • "Tried to visit Saturday but the place was heaving which I guess is a good sign. The place looks good with plenty of atmosphere and a lively crowd. The food looked good so I guess we will be back."
