Our group of 7 enjoyed a nostalgic dining experience in a charmingly decorated setting, thanks to our wonderful waitress Roslyn. She excelled in attending to all our needs and ensuring every detail was perfect. We indulged in endless pots of tea, delicate sandwiches with savory fillings, scones with jam and cream, muffins, and an array of exquisite slices displayed on towering cake plates. Roslyn and her staff were attentive, checking on us regularly and providing take-home boxes for leftovers. Roslyn even showcased her photography skills, capturing our reunion of Northern Irish and Australian cousins. Her professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care made us feel as though we had stepped back in time to an era when dining out was a delightful experience enhanced by exceptional cuisine and outstanding service.

However, my recent visit on Saturday evening left me feeling quite disappointed. After ordering our meals and drinks, it took at least half an hour for our drinks to arrive. After waiting for about 20 minutes, I went to check in the bar and found only one young girl serving drinks and she was very busy. When our meals finally arrived after nearly an hour, they were not up to par. My steak, which was supposed to be rare, was overcooked and tough to cut even with the steak knife. The champ was dry and seemed to have been under a heat lamp for too long. My wife's chicken was okay, but the onion rings were soggy and the Diane sauce was too thick. The service was also lacking as no one came to check if everything was alright. Hopefully, this was just a one-time incident as we usually love dining here.

The restaurant has a charming ambiance, friendly and efficient staff, a wide selection of menu options, and deliciously satisfying portions of food. read more The restaurant has a charming ambiance, friendly and efficient staff, a wide selection of menu options, and deliciously satisfying portions of food.
