Maybe we visited on the wrong day... what a disappointment. I last ate here a long while ago and it was a superb dinner out - what a different experience we had on Mother's Day. I was surprised to see if was only half full inside but we were shown to our reserved table straight away, all good. We waited.... and waited..... eventually a hurried waitress took our orders. Drinks arrived. 45 minutes later our starters and kids' meals food finally arrived. The kids' fish was a mushy fail, one piece lukewarm, the other almost burnt. She ate the chips that came with it at least. My husband's seafood chowder tasted ok but we laughed at the teeny tiny pieces served up within it. Then we waited..... and waited.... and waited. Dirty plates and empty glasses piled up, eventually our mains arrived. My pizza was fine, Mum's fish was the same consistency as the kids so most of it was left. Husband had the chicken and it was drowning in pesto. More dirty plates piled up again while we waited..... (you can see where this is going...) Dessert orders taken. "Sorry, we've run out of that." We didn't fancy the other 3 options so went without. Just the kids' ice creams to come then. By this time, we were debating whether to just leave and have dessert elsewhere but they really wanted theirs.. half an hour goes by. Staff leaning on the bar chatting and laughing. I walked up to chase the ice creams and to have the table cleared please. 20 mins later, they were brought to the (piled high messy) table. It was a ridiculously small single scoop in a cone each and wrong flavours. "Sorry we ran out. This is all we have."

We left with the table still uncleared and not one check by any of the staff through the 2.5 hours we ended up being there to see how things were going or if we wanted more drinks. Jeez guys - sort it out, seriously! We had one kids meal taken off the bill and $40 as a goodwill gesture but we won't be back.
