"Me and my wife visited this location for dinner, one of the waitress told us to sit anywhere we'd like, there were 2 waitresses, and the one that helped us seemed to be in a rush, eventhough she said hi, she asked us if we were ready, we said not quite ready and she walked away, the coffe we got was cold and seemed to be sitting in the pot for a long time, she came back and took our order, we ordered a sampler appetizer that came at the same time as the dinner, my Philly cheese steak was good and hot, the French fries were cold, my wife ordered the taco salad and had a good presentation but as she started to eat it looked like they chopped 3 hamburger patties and placed them on top of a handful of lettuce, the waitress disappeared for a few minutes and we had to call the bus boy so my wife can order something else, then the waitress came and we told her the situation and she rolled her eyes and took the new order, the she came and dropped the French toast which half wasn't cook all the way, she never came back to check on us, finally she came and slammed the check on the table and walked away, we didn't want to complain about the food cos she might think we wanted free food. Anyway we always go to country inn in prospect. But tonight we wanted to give it a try here. It's sad how restaurant business is not what it used to be, nowadays owners managers are so greedy that the only thing they care is to make money, and servers see that if they are careless(owners and managers) of course nobody cares, I used to work for a long time in the restaurant business and was totally different great service and good food( this is the second order we got. Just to prove that is not BS!!!!"

"We went on Saturday 09/23 for our 20 year anniversary dinner. What a mistake this was. The waiter told us he had 24 years of experience at the restaurant. I dreaded him from the moment we sat down. We wanted a nice bottle of red asked if the restaurant had a Somali as he was giving us attitude zero knowledge of wine. Not long after we placed our order appetisers and main. He asked if we wanted the chocolate soufflé. Our 12 yr old is a chocolate addict so we knew this would take at least 20-30 minutes so we placed the order early on. After serving wine I asked if get had any special drinks for kids. He said nothing apart from sodas or lemonade then he said Shirley temple. My son who is ultra healthy drinks sparking water with lime asked what was a Shirley temple l. The waiter responded don't you know? Moving on onto ordering for me as I am a foodie I asked it's a toss up between the swordfish/John dory. Well jerk I was not asking what John Dory is I asked about how the two dishes lineup. Anyhow I ended up telling him we do not see eye to eye and basically I don't like his attitude. Towards the end the soufflé came and after our mains we had intentions of ordering other desserts but because he did not check I was done. On our way out I told the bald guy who I have now learnt is the owner was ultra dismissive. I don't know how anyone who is a foodie thinks this is an ok restaurant let alone mediocre. If you are a foodie you know service and quality lacking in both areas. The WAITER told us he had 24 years experience. He can stick his 24 years where it belongs."

"My wife and I dined here this Saturday evening. We were pleased that we got to sit near the windows for a lovely sunset view, but that was about it. First of all, the entire area is so cramped that we felt like we were a part of the conversations of the three tables surrounding us. We also had a major issue with service. Simone was our waiter. Our first interaction was him coming around with the bread platter. He looked at my wife and myself and said, “you look like you never turn down bread!” Admittedly, we aren’t small people, but we have never had it verbally called out at a meal, and it was a very awkward moment for Simone when he realized we understood what he was saying. We ordered a round of cocktails and our starters. Never once were we told about the lobster specials, which is a shame. We love lobster and would have happily ordered it if we had known. Simone pressured us to put in our entree order immediately. We felt as if we were being pushed out. Maybe it’s because we like to frequent the Black Pearl when we visit Dunedin, but I was not impressed. Our first round of drinks was lovely, but when my wife ordered a second white linen cocktail, what was brought to her was something full of sweet and sour mix. Holding my glass up to hers, mine was clear and hers was yellow. We were able to get a replacement, but it was still subpar. Our starters were pretty good- the escargot and onion soup. We were rushed through those for our entree, and when those came we weren’t impressed. When Simone came to check on us and asked how it was my wife said “It’s…” and before she could finish he responded with, “excellent!” And walked away. At this point it was obvious we were just trying to be pushed out the door. We were rushed and when asked, totally steamrolled. At the point of finishing our meals my wife suggested our typical bottle of port to share over a desert. I was done. We asked for our check and we’re given some electric device where we paid and tipped."
