Food was delicious as always. Nonetheless, the service was not – even close – as great as it used to be.

We arrived closer to 2pm, and the room did not seem intensely busy. It did not take long to order and about 30 minutes till the starters were brought to the table. The food was nice and tasty as usual; however, the service was slow and somehow indifferent. We finished the starters and waited almost another half hour minutes for the main to arrive, during that time no one came to clear the table nor to remove the starters’ plates and silverware, even though enough waiters were walking around in a slow pace. So, it was not a surprise when the steaks came to the table and there was not enough room for them. That said, it was us who had to rescue the waitress with the hot steaks in her hands by pilling up the used starters’ plates and silverware to make room for the mains. Finally, in order to keep up with this level of attention to detail, the pile of starters’ plates and silverware were kept on the middle of the table almost till the end of our meal to be taken back to the kitchen.

Again, the steaks were truly enjoyable, and it bothers me to give a less than great review, but I believe it is something easily adjusted for...

Would like to adapt my review in response to the owner's response;

How very … average and pricey

Extremely disappointed that the lobsters are not humanely killed before being boiled, so are boiled alive - no thank you! I specifically asked the waiter if the lobsters were killed humanely to which he said I'm not sure. I asked him to ask the chef, and he replied - they are put in alive, which is the best way. Are you saying that they are killed humanely before being cooked?

We had old tenderstem brocolli presented to us which was yellow in the flower once boiled - I sent this back requesting new brocolli which arrived in the same condition. I also had some mouldy leaves in the mini salad we were given. Bernaise sauce was so over worked it was more like butter. We had 3 different waiters serve us. The guys who cleared our plates asked how are food was, to which I said - it was only fine.

Good quality meat for chateaubriand but small portions for sides and you had to pay extra for a sauce….🤷‍♀️ - having been to many of your competitors it seems that you are the minority in asking to pay for a sauce. Most don't, and side portions are more generous elsewhere.

Would not...
