Jamison's - Hampstead

Everything was a miss from the start. My friend ordered the duck which was listed on the menu, I ordered the salmon that was listed on the menu. Once we ordered, the bartender told us that the menu changed and the duck she ordered was no longer available (why weren't we told the menu had changed? and they had a duck special which she agreed to. I wasn't told of any changes to my salmon. When our food came out, the runner tried to figure out who the order was for, stopping at 3 different groups of people. We realized that it was ours, but her duck was delivered as Sheppard's pie, and my salmon was not as written on the menu. The bartender blamed the kitchen staff, and the computer, which we noticed to be a common theme, she didn't take ownership for any of her mistakes. While the runner took the Sheppard's pie away, he left my dish. The bartender came over and once again blamed someone for her error. My gripe here is: why did you leave my dish, knowing it was going to be 20+ minutes before her dish was made correctly? Why didn't you put it under a warmer? My plate sat there, waiting for hers to arrive so we could eat. While waiting, I did ask the bartender why there was rice, and not fingerling potatoes, as listed on the menu. She blamed it on the menu being changed, again, not taking ownership for being unaware, and offered me a side of potatoes. About 25 minutes later she said my potatoes should be out any minute. 12 hours later and I'm STILL waiting for those potatoes. Once her meal arrived we ate together. My salmon was cold, the veggies were cold. It was very underwhelming overall. This is my advice, if your menu changes, make sure your staff is aware of those changes and provide a menu with the updates, not an out of date menu. Also, take ownership for your errors, blaming the kitchen makes them look bad for no reason. Also, there were always at minimum 5 workers standing around outside of the kitchen doing nothing the entire time we were there, why not provide some training to those employees if you're that over staffed? This was a one and done for us.

Had a 10/10 for our waiter. My dad and I ordered some flights of beer and he remembered all of them without writing them down, even all the weird IPAs. They have a lot of great options on tap, I never would have guessed. I got the slaughterhouse for dinner burger, fried chicken, pulled pork, bacon and cheese on a bun. Amazing.

Ok Service, clean, strong drinks(yes)!! Loud and it was not that busy, so I can imagine when it is busy. Just hard to have a conversation without saying what??? A hundred times. Food good. Appetizer- the chips were stale and rubbery. After trying to flag waiter down for a good 5 to 10 minutes we received fresh ones, by then half our dinner had been eaten. Prices are good, food is good, just not a place I'd go back to. I like to relax and have a conversation. It is relaxing but way too loud for me. ? sorry

Wonderful outside deck followed by a scrumptious cast iron meatball appetizer. The main dishes were spectacular and the dessert marvelous, combine that with the wonderful waitress and we have a winner....

As soon as you walk in, you can see how clean this place is. Always a great first impression. Service was outstanding as was the food. Calamari was excellent. As was the maple bacon old fashioned. But be warned, it's strong. Pretty good craft beer list, and they offer flights. Wish I looked at the back of the menu sooner, but that's on me. Filet Oscare was amazing. Delicious and tender, and just as ordered. Rare. Lobster rav was equally as good, and I always get scared of specialty ravioli. Whole experience was just great, and the entire party agreed. Thank you and will be back!
