Food: Extremely disappointing and the worst sirloin steak I've had in my life. Bland and lacking flavour. I ordered a side of wedges that arrived on my plate as if they had just been thrown on (yes thrown on!) at the last minute. The portion size of the meal was very small and I then ordered another side of spinach and butternut. Big mistake! The worst spinach ever. Had a very strange aftertaste. Something like soap. Butternut was better. Well, I suppose anything would be better than soap spinach. At the beginning of the evening I was so excited to see Crème brûlée on the menu. However, after my main meal, I opted not to order dessert realising that I could get a McFlurry on the way home instead of paying for a dessert I'll regret ordering later. Ambience: The decor of the restaurant is nothing to get excited about either. Live entertainment included a gentlemen singing melodies while playing guitar for 30 minutes. I think they were his own songs as I've never heard any of those ballads before. Service: Well, our waiter did check on us… (after we had already eaten). Verdict: Never again...
