Staks La Pulente — Restaurant in St. Brelade

Visited with family including 3 small children. Food was actually pretty decent, lots of us had espatadas which they all enjoyed! However the disappointment came from the service, we were put under so much pressure from the waiter to order having literally just walked in and been shown our table i cant say i will be rushing back. There was no highchair ready not an issue more then that but it meant my little one was having a little explore, we were made to order our food so much so my sister in law brought me a menu outside so i could look incase i missed my chance to have anything! Dealing with a 19 month old while trying to look at a menu doesnt really work and i didnt appreciate that the waiter just stood there waiting when i did managed to get back to the table. Didnt seem able to do drinks first them come back, as my partner even said we've not even looked yet! The wait still didnt 'read the room' and just waited. I felt so uncomfortable i ended up just panic ordering a starter having very little time to actually decide.

These days customers service is everything, your paying for the experience as well as...

Really can't comment on the food from what I saw it seemed OK, I do draw the line even on an island as expensive as Jersey, at paying £7.50, for one cheese or ham sandwich, we were on a tour of the island & the coach company stopped here for a lunch break, not impressed, as we exited the coach a waiter was standing by the door of the coach & offered everyone as they passed a menu on printed A4 paper, black and white. it just seemed a little to rehearsed and the menu made up for the coach's & grossly over priced food , so a big HELL NO from us, I'm not tight with cash but kinda felt like I was being ripped off at this place so I'll wait a few hours after all I'm sure we won't starve in that time, really wouldent recommend this place on an island tour, not a very proffesional approach to customer...

It was okay, we ordered garlic bread to start with and after being asked by the server if we wanted it brought out before (which we did) it arrived with the rest of our food. All the dishes we had were okay, the Caesar salad was over powered by the seasoning of the chicken, the burger was a bit dry and the sauce on the ribs was somewhat acidic. We had a fairly enjoyable evening chatting and admiring the view. Having seen the other reviews maybe we just didn’t go on a good night. It wasn’t bad but I don’t think we’ll be going back...
