Ate here twice and regret going back the second time. The first time, the power had been out for 4-5 hours but came back on. We assumed they had a back up generator, as the IGA did. I ordered natural oysters. When they came out, they were room temperature and had brown-coloured water around them. My hb returned them, and in pointing out the brown water, lifted his finger and a gluggy line of ? attached to his finger. We got a refund.
The second time, my hb lined up 10 minutes to find out which table we were on because there was only one staff member in the dining room. We ordered the lamb special, but were informed it was no longer available, but that we could substitute slow-cooked pork belly. It took 50 minutes to come out. At 40 minutes when my hb went up to check it was on the way, the staff member stated it was late because we ordered something off the grill, and the other people who had already been served and had left ordered deep fried food. My hb asked why slow-cooked pork needed so long to cook was told it needed heating up.
The pork was not \"slow-cooked\", it was a little tough. The vegetables had no seasoning, not even salt. The broccoli was undercooked. The roast potatoes were terrible, not sure how you stuff up roast potato? The pork had ?hoisin sauce and didn\'t seem roasted and no crackling, so not a like for like lamb shoulder substitute. I\'ve worked in hospitality and should have thought the response would have been apologetic, not defensive.
