Never asked at the end 'was everything ok fo... View all feedback. What User likes about The Overdraught:

We visit this restaurant regularly and are never disappointed. It is very good.

Overdraught received mixed reviews, with some customers disappointed by the decline in food quality and service, while others raved about their outstanding Sunday lunch experience. Complaints ranged from poor food presentation to rushed service, contrasting with high praise for the delicious dishes like rib eye beef, chicken sandwich, and gnocchi. Highlighted was the exceptional service provided by Lisa, making the dining experience memorable for many. Despite criticisms, the restaurant was commended for its reasonable prices and friendly staff. Overall, Overdraught's reputation seems to be divided, with both impressive and disappointing experiences reported.
