Went for my girlfriends birthday and we had our byo bottle of wine taken away. Then when we ordered our steak we asked if we could substitute the jacket potatoes (that came with all steaks) for a side serve of salad or chips, and were told we would have to pay full price. This is a 250gm fillet at $43 with ZERO sides. We ordered a garlic bread and got a 4cm slice of garlic bread cut in two for $9. After all that both our meals were very ordinary- most pubs will do you a better steak at $12 and save you the cramped atmosphere and rude service Worst dining experience ever
The prices that they expect for their meat is far too high. I'm aware of teh markup that they need for a viable business, but they then need to ensure the quality is as high. The meat I had wasn't that tender, and edged with grissle. The flavours were okay, but I expected more than just okay.
Maybe a year ago this restaurant was good but after last nights experience, I felt like I have been robbed!!!! I wanted to impress some of my guests for my birthday in an up market restaurant in Canberra but what I got from it was far less! It was very small and cramped! Very dark and old decor almost like they didn't not have enough money to renovate the place!
We got there at 6.30pm for my birthday and didn't get served our drinks in fact we needed to get the waiters attention to get drinks 35minutes later!!!. One of my guests actually walked over to the counter and picked up the additional menus for the rest that arrived 10 minutes after we did. This was ridiculous!!!! We were the second clients to arrive in this restaurant that evening and one of the last to get served!
Once again we had to fight for the attention of the waiters to get our dinners served nearly an hour and 15 Minutes later!!!!!! When the waiter finally arrived, they did not even apologise but had the cheek to inform us that they were sorry to disappoint anybody (Too Late!!) but were out of oysters if anyone was thinking of ordering them!!
The food was of low quality, took too long to cook and they had the nerve to charge $320 for 6 people's dinner alone!!! With another $130 for drinks on top!!!
One of my guests actually saw them placing one of our chicken breast meals into a microwave after deep frying it to make sure the centre wasn't cold!!
I have dined in more expensive restaurants over $150 per head but I must say that this was the worst!!
My partner went to the counter to pay the bill and was not even issued a receipt!!Can you believe that!!!
Amazing steak! Cooked to perfection, I had no idea that meat could taste this good. The service is very personable, and quick considering the time that is required to cook the meat. The decor is quite dark, with carpet up half the wall, but the food redeems everything. I reserve this place for special occasions (lunch for 2 cost me $80) but it really was worth the expense.
