Noble House — Restaurant in Amber Valley

So to start this off. My wife, daughters and I came here for dinner. First time trying. As soon as we entered, I thought lovely, welcoming feeling. Then the whole experience went down hill. We was only given the all you can eat menu. So my wife went up and asked if there was another menu, to be informed it would be cheaper £22.50 per adult and £11.50 per child. if we ordered from the all you can eat menu. Clearly trying to push it. Anyway. My wife was given another menu. I Ordered a coke. Which cost me £3.30 , Which was flat and tasted like cheap rola cola. I asked the waitress was this the real coke cola. She said yes it was. If it was. It must have came out of the bottom end of a bottle. Then the food arrived. Well went from bad to worse. The portions were ridiculous, when I say tiny. I mean tiny. My girls are 11 and 12. They were not even full up on their portions with egg fried rice. Which was warmed up and previously overcooked. The red chicken curry was luke warm. And had around 5 pieces of chicken strips in a saucer. To say i ate this curry in two spoon fulls, is no exaggeration. sweet and sour was the smallest portion I have ever seen and no flavour. I Felt really let down. We are local and wish to try and support where we can. But when we left a resturant hungy after spending £45, clearly they missed the mark here. We will not be coming back here. Really...

One year ago my husband and I had previously collected a takeaway and both commented on how friendly and polite the lady at the counter was and what a nice atmosphere the restaurant had. Well, last night we decided to dine there.....we were the first people in there but got served the last, due to a couple of regulars coming in.... when we came to order I asked what they could recommend as a vegan starter. I was told that I could only have the seaweed. (We wasn't allowed to order our complete meal, only one course at a time). The waiter told us we have to have starter, then something from the meat section and then a side..Red flag). Bearing in mind I also said I was vegan. The seaweed arrived on my husband's meat dish, with fish shavings!! My husband asked for a separate serving of seaweed for me. When it arrived it tasted like sugar. My husband said his chicken dish was all bone and gristle. The waiter, who i believe to also be the cook, was abrupt didn't listen to our dietary requests and continued to put us last in pecking order! We asked the waiter if was the new owner of the restaurant and he snapped that he was. Very rude, very unprofessional. If you enjoyed Fawlty Towers go experience it for yourself. It cost us £64 in total. If I could've run fast enough I'd...

The set menu I would say is rather expensive for the quality of the food. The ribs were poor quality and dry, the ribs had hardly any meat on. The “sizzling beef and prawn dishes” well I can only describe them as disgusting. The dish was poured onto a hot plate and was not cooked on the plate like in any other restaurant I have been to. This caused the dish to turn into a slime like consistency which was not edible.

Up until this point the service had been quite good and I had no complaints about this element of my experience at Noble House. This was until we expressed our dissatisfaction with the meal and especially the sizzling dishes. We asked for. Deduction on the bill as serval dishes that we ordered we did not eat. The waitress stated that we were not able to and it was based on our own personal taste.

Have you ever been to a restaurant and had reservations on your meal to be told it’s down to your personal taste? Because I certainly haven’t.

Will not be...
