Very poor service for a Saturday night, we were sat in a corner and straight away asked what we wanted. Then were never attended to again. No drink orders were taken, so we had no drinks with the meal. The porterhouse steak was so tough and gristly Yes we were there with the ASBK, but this is the 4th year and they know what it’s like. It actually wasn’t as busy as last year. Capitalising on being the only half decent food place is not good Could have had better service at the OTR service station

Staff are awesome. It’s so nice to have happy smiley wait staff. You were all so accommodating of everything. Well done. Good job. You should be very proud. Only gave one star on ambience as the actual structure of the dining area, walls and ceiling, has no sound absorption and it got very very loud in there.

Food was tasteless, dry and had been sitting for awhile before being served. Very few choices on the menu, more choicesof wine than food. Staff were very friendly.

The new supervisor on both Saturday & Sunday night was the best. She was polite, happy, had all new staff to train & still kept a sense of humor. She needs to be recognized for that. All staff were lovely

Service was terrible, we had to call someone over so we could start the order process, no table water offered, the meal took around an hr to come out & it was the worst chicken schnitzel parmigiana I have ever had, no flavour at all, the other meals on the table also average Will not be eating there again, very disappointed

Thank you for providing your feedback. I believe we spoke on the night when you brought the concerns to our attention. We took your feedback very seriously and issues were discussed with the Executive Chef. The cooking method for both the Brisket and Risotto has been reviewed and modified, while the steak cuts will be closely monitored for quality control and changes made where necessary. Whilst you received a discount on your meals at the time you expressed your concerns, please do reach out to us if there is anything else we can do following your dining experience with us.
