They can not obviously handle the capacity in the kitchen.

When drinks did arrive, we were short a glass of wine despite ordering two.Mushroom and feta entrees arrived promptly and tasted as we'd expected from previous experience, the mains were very delayed and we had to follow up, at this point there was only three other tables in the restaurant all of which were eating their mains. My eye fillet was presented to me with salad only when I had ordered a baked potato. No apology offered, salad whisked away and a potato placed on the table, I had to then ask for sour cream and butter.Waitress began clearing water glasses, we had to advise to leave them as we still had half a bottle of sparkling water.Dessert menu variety was as expected, my apple and rhubarb crumble was below par, cold and the crumble was too fine like a crushed biscuit. The sticky date pudding was much more enjoyable however.Overall we were a little disappointed, especially considering all of the other Squires Loft locations that we have visited have been of a much higher standard. Squires Loft Torquay however is the best in terms of ambiance, presentation and customer service.

Not quite to the standard of the others - atmosphere is lacking, and, although the pricing is the same across the chain, still feel a little ripped off for what you get for your money.Positive was that the service was attentive and engaged, and the steaks are very good.

We dined in for dinner and found that the price per person was around A$40-60. The food was a 5 out of 5, service was a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was a 4 out of 5. We highly recommend trying the Eye Fillet and Chips."
