They arrived 55 minutes later….hmmm? The centre temperature of the lasagne was just blood warm, totally unacceptable! I tested it with the tip of a knife on my tongue. The rump, which was not very good quality, was served with a potato garnish which was cool, as was the green cabbage, which was barely cooked…not good enough! I asked the restaurant manager if there was there an issue … he said that they have a head chef another chef who’s new. Ok, but how should a competent restaurant manage that? 'Do they use heat probe thermometers? ' I asked. 'Yes, but not for every dish '. The lasagne should have been tested as it was cooked some time well before service and hopefully properly stored in a fridge! It should never be left to the customer to quality assure the dish!! There is a considerable mismatch between the very high price and the quality and service offered. This visit provided me with considerable concern that the management of the kitchen and the restaurant is lacking in a number of respects that need to be addressed! More than disappointing!

My wife had a filet and scallops surf and turf , with both elements perfectly executed, well seasoned, and flavorful. I had their beef pie, which was hearty, with deep flavor throughout and fantastic. We shared a cheese and ham croquette appetizer that was top notch, and a lemon meringe bomb that was incredible tart, not too sweet, and every bite delectable. The service was also attentive but not intrusive, the meal well paced. Overall, it was a wonderful meal that we will remember for a long time!

Got surf turf, was so good. Took 6 days to find good food. Staff was so nice, if your late dinning do a reservation. We are from Texas and steaks are everywhere. It's nice to get a steak that's remind me of home.
