Lansdowne Hotel in Belfast

So, the Lansdowne Hotel is a good little find if you want a simple and well-located place. It's super close to the city center, so super convenient. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxed. It's not great luxury, but for the price, honestly, it's worth it for a stay in the city without breaking the bank!

Food is extremely good....staff very friendly and helpful. You would need a taxi to get into the centre.

Outside space is great for an outdoor pint , young staff are very efficient and super friendly. Fist time here ,will definitely be back .

The food and service here is amazing, i ate here 2 nights in the bounce it was that good. Steak and Frites both nights as it was so good. i am very fussy and don’t like fatty meat but this steak had no fat on and was delicious with a peppercorn sauce and side salad i will be back maybe next week

What a place loved it if you get a great day sit outside and eat great place staff wonderful 💯

Was there at a christening with a party of 20 for a meal, the menu didn't have many options so the majority of guests ordered chicken burgers and fish with chips, the chicken burgers were very dry and the fish had been battered and cooked from frozen which made it very watery and the chips that came with the fish were so dry and crispy they could have broke your teeth, every meal had the same issues.

I didn’t stay at the hotel but had Sunday lunch and was served by Lyndsey. So helpful and nothing was too much trouble. A real credit to the restaurant. Made us so welcome. Thank you so much you are one in a million

Three of us ordered this afternoon. I had the Coley fish, which was ok the bacon was burnt. The other meals were OKthe chips were definitely warmed back up in the fryer. The 3 desserts were awful the sticky toffee pudding in particular, was dry.

Great craic and the staff are very friendly 😏 Tuesday pub quiz is fab 👌

A fantastic addition to the Antrim Road. The new Lansdowne is classy, modern with real cool vibes. Food and decor are superb with a real down to earth team looking after you. With a great variation in entertainment. Why taxi into town ???

Food was good,cocktails very good,the only downside is that the staff seemed to be in a hurry to free my table once I sat down,I booked and paid for the meal so please,let me finish when I'm ready to finish.

Lovely place for lunch, highly recommend

Have stayed here twice and intend to again. Staff were excellent, always very friendly and helpful. They let me check-in a couple of hours early, which was a nice touch. Food was very good. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. Parking was plentiful. Exceptional value.

There was a party at the hotel. It was so loud until 2 a.m. that sleep was impossible. But according to the employees there at the hotel, that's nothing special. The breakfast buffet is poor.

Really disappointed with dinner at the hotel this evening. The food was very unsatisfactory. When my food arrived I was presented with one piece of a very small dried up chicken breast, some coleslaw and skinny chips. I complained to the manager that this wasn’t good enough so he came back with another piece of small dried up chicken. My husband got 4 chicken wings and skinny fries. And for this it cost £32. I will never be back for food again. Completely disgusting and very unsatisfactory that they think this is good enough to serve to people.

Service was superb, food was fresh and tasty, and there was a lovely sunflower placed delightfully on the centre of the table.

We got to stay in the suite which was incredible a very luxurious room! The staff were very friendly and made us feel so welcomed We loved the hotel bar, it was by far the nicest hotel bar we’ve been in with a very lively atmosphere, the live music was great, cocktails were so delicious as was the food! The location is great, in a quiet area and only 10minute drive from the city centre.

We have been to many hotels and this hotel has been up there as one of the best hotels we have visited ever. The staff couldn’t do enough for us, quick service, comfy rooms, yummy food and cocktails. The standard is very high and be definitely back soon

Just the best spot in BT15. Food is superb, service is top and the atmosphere is amazing.

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Was disappointed with the parking. Not many spaces for the amount of people that use here. Had to drop my 88 year old mum off and go find a parking space out within the local streets.

Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, spotlessly clean. Great food, especially their top class Ulster Fry for breakfast, easily one of the best in the city.

Great value hotel. Breakfast fab.

Service was great - friendly and efficient... food was excellent, tasty and good quality... busy venue in a Saturday night

Really enjoyed our stay here. Staff so helpful and friendly. Rooms modern and comfortable. I strongly recommend dining in the bar, we received vouchers for one free drink each, food was delicious and there was a great atmosphere here, the booths are very well decorated. Try the Beamish.

Can only comment on food. My brother and his family where staying from England. We went to meet them at the hotel for drinks and something to eat. Drinks okay can't go wrong there, but the food was not nice each one of our dishes not nice. Meats over cooked and dry, chips hard as a rock very disappointed. Money wasted there where seven of so not cheap. Service very slow for drinks and food

Hard to get a Caesar salad wrong but this was basically a bowl of lettuce. Ordered 2 halloumi salads for myself and my Mum, firstly it came with practically no dressing, when I asked for more I got garlic mayo. There didn’t appear to be much halloumi but I thought perhaps it was below the lettuce and the very few croutons… I was wrong. There was 3 slivers of halloumi! The parmesan wasn’t much better. The waitress then asked if everything was ok, I said (nicely) that the salad had very little halloumi, dry and overall disappointing. She smiled and walked away and only returned when I asked for the bill. Disappointing!!

Visited for my partner’s birthday in Feb 2024 and we have been back multiple times. I have delayed writing this review because I keep meaning to find out the blonde lady’s name. (Manager) for my partners birthday we were a big party and we were mental. This didn’t stop the one of the best services I have ever had. The food has always been incredible I could not fault, the cocktails are amazing and the staff follow suit. I am lactose intolerant and they always have a range of dishes to choose from. Some of our more recent visits we have taken my mother in law in a wheel chair. Matthew has always gone the extra mile trying to make us comfortable, I am ashamed to call such a professional manager the blonde lady. She is amazing at taking orders with a sense of humour that makes us all chuckle. Friendly, professional, polite and very good menu that changes with the seasons. We met friends there for Christmas who were home from England and your seasonal loaded fries are now internationally famous. I can not recommend this place enough.

Just returned home to Southampton after having Two fantastic days in Belfast. The Lansdowne hotel was excellent, food, drink, room and the staff were so friendly, they made you feel very welcome. I will be back and highly recommend to anyone needing a hotel. Mr Tonner x

Had great night. Good food good music

Highly recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to visit Belfast. 5* is probably an understatement. We stayed here 3 nights early March 2024. No road noise, No Bar noise even though they had live entertainment every night. Food was so amazing, that we ate here breakfast and evening meal. Staff were all very friendly and although no kettle in the room, dial 0 and get costa delivered from the Bar very quickly at anytime day or night, all complimentary to guests. We went to Titanic experience, which was totally amazing, we did the Goal experience and the Black Taxi Tour which was such an eye opener, to what happened during troubled times. Quick Taxi booked by the hotel and just over 10 minutes and we were in Belfast city centre, £8 which is very reasonable, even the return late evening was the same. We will definitely be returning later in the summer as there is more we want to do, and will definitely be staying at The Lansdown Hotel. This review may sound like i work there but no, this is the first time we had been here but will NOT be the last. Very pleased. Note, I am disabled, there is a lift up to the rooms, the main reception and Bar is all accessible, I had Zero issues, and there are a number of disabled parking bays, as well as plenty of regular parking. We travelled by Stenna Ferry, from Cairnryan, Scotland, which added to the amazing Belfast trip, so was like a mini cruise ship with all the facilities. Perfect mini break .

My mum passed away suddenly and I needed to book a venue for after the funeral service at short notice and was a Saturday. I rang the main number and they took my number. Within a few mins I got a call from Janette , what an amazing Lady!! She sorted everything out for me and the room and food were perfect Everyone was really impressed.. I would like to thank Janette She is a rare find I hope the owners appreciate such a great staff member 👍

Completely overpriced bar food. £100 for a family of four for one course only. Service really slow. Won't be back. For burgers go to the burger club on the Cliftonville Rd. Fraction of the price and not grizzly like here. Complete waste of money.

Very friendly lady at the reception desk. Also friendly at the bar. Im 6'6 and the bathroom was a bit small. The hallways to get to the rooms were small and hard to move around in with bags for me. Also, there are a few stains on the bed sheets but overall very comfortable bed and clean room.

The restaurant manager came over placed a card on our table at 7.30pm informing us that the table was now booked and we had 20 mins to leave our table. I was then informed that every other table was booked for food, which it clearly wasn't. The manager made no attempt to accommodate us in any way, a night cut short. If the Ldowne is a restaurant, make it clear to avoid people like myself walking in for a drink to have their night ruined.

Great night at the bar until dinner was served, served out of date fish which was replaced with a new meal we went to our room and were accused of smoking in a non smoking room The bar services was next to none but the bouncers were a disgrace will not be back!!

Good pint of Guinness if you sit at the bar

AVOID. The food is quite basic , yet very expensive. My partner had a vegetarian option that was cold and small in portion, she was left hungry. The desserts were ok at best. Service was pleasant but very hard to find, we went on a Sunday and while busy wasn’t rammed. If it had been better value I wouldn’t be writing this review, but as it stands we will not be returning. We last came in March 2020, and it was diabolical, we had heard it had got better but not worth a third visit.

We ate in the bar rather than restaurant. I cab see the attraction given the all night entertainment but we were sat at a long table right in front of the stage. It was loud and hard to speak to each other during dinner though good after dinner was over. The table also feels like you're somewhat in the way of people moving around. We were a bit late being seated (booked for 7pm, seated by 7.10pm). We waited at least 20 min for our food order to be taken and food did not arrive until 8.40pm. I've never waited so long for food. They said sorry, we had a table of 40 to serve before you. We were a table of 13. I had fish and chips. The batter on the fish was lovely. The 10 chips we a stingy serving. O would rather have real mushy peas than a line of green liquid on my plate. And there was no lemon as stated. My husband's pepper sauce was lovely but the serving didn't look like very much and his steak was cold. All in all I find the food to be over priced. Particularly for steaks. A box of cutlery was set at one end of the table rather than at each seat so food got cold while all of that was passed around. No drinks were offered at all yet servers were going to other tables. The car parking is awful. They really need more. Overall I find the Landsdowne over rated for food but can see its a good spot for the music

If your thinking of having a Xmas work dinner here think again absolutely terrible from the start we got to our table at 7pm and eventually finished eating a 3 course meal at 10.30 not only was some of the food wrong but also cold aswel, we opted for drinks instead of an over night stay that didn't happen, drink was spilt on a dinner by accident and the manger wasn't going to change it even tho one of our party didn't turn up so technically there was a dinner spare for our table, entertainment was also shocking no Xmas music etc while dinner wad being served. Over all seems like staff didn't have a clue what they were doing, im not a fussy person but this was the worst Xmas Dinner set up I have been too AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Great place for a meal, staff friendly & attentive, well priced, we had the steak frite & smoked haddock, beautifully cooked, good atmosphere & ambience, would happily recommend

I’ll start with the good! Went for a catch up with friends, menu limited, but food was beautiful (sweet potato wedges are stunning), atmosphere cosy and pleasant, the guy serving the drinks to the table was so friendly and a good laugh! However, one member of staff let the whole place down which is so sad. From the moment she sat us at the table, it was as if we were one big giant inconvenience. As soon as we sat “any drinks?” to which we asked for a drinks menu “we don’t have one”, “ehh not even a cocktail menu?” She got us a cocktail menu and stood over the table while we tried to read it and decide - awkward. Every interaction with her after was just the same, awkward, miserable, unfriendly. yet the other staff were all funny, happy and pleasant (thank you!). The bill was then dumped on our table by the same staff member without even asking for it, we wanted another round of drinks and had to ask the friendly bar guy “are we ok to order another drink” confused as to why we felt we were being rushed out (still plenty of people in the restaurant). He let us know it was not a problem and happy to get us another round. As we chatted with our last drinks the miserable staff member came over with the card machine, with a not so subtle “pay your bill” again still plenty of people still in the restaurant. This just made all of us a little flustered and awkward and her general “why am I here attitude” unnecessary. If your going to work in hospitality be hospitable! For me this would really put me off going back to the restaurant, which is a shame as the food was decent and all the other staff pleasant and warm.

The worst experience I've ever had waited for aver an hour for the staff too take our order for drinks the food was the worst food I've ever had prawns were disgusting had the flank steak frites. Was absolutely disgusting tasted like I'd drank a bottle of vinegar they had marinated it in balsamic vinegar how any chef would think putting balsamic vinegar on steak would be palatable obviously doesn't have a clue what there doing .they really need to change there menu and get themselves a good restaurant manager . Needless to say I won't be going back for a meal and would not recommend to friends

The manager of this place violently threatened me, got in my face and spoke very rudely towards me… wrongfully accusing me of an incident with her staff, which when I asked where are the cameras as this never happened she got more aggressive toned towards me, this manager had shouted at me, while she was shouting she had spat on me and wouldn’t let me speak to express my side of what happened the previous time I was there ( which there was no altercation neither had I spoken with ‘her staff’). She singled me out the first time I was there and when I had went yesterday she done the same thing. Both times this woman who I do not know has targeted me simply because I am transgender. Hateful, bullying, aggressive staff at this hotel… may I add I have been getting stalking for 4 years by one of her members of staff who I was raped by (which I’ve never said about until now) and all she had to say is ‘he is not apart of this’. RAPISTS, BULLIES, HOMOPHOBIC AND TRANSPHOBIC PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN PUBLIC

What lovely surroundings and superb food. Exceptional value for money. Massive portions and to top it all friendly attentive staff. Would highly recommend 😊

Where do I start? My mum booked here for a meal Sunday 9th of October for a table of 14 for Sunday dinner We went here to check it out as my brother and his fiance wanted to get married here as it is local etc safe to say we ran a mile and would never return We arrived where seated by staff Gave our order after we asked the waiter to take it and the food arrived an hour later most meals were cold I went to the loo and the tap exploded all over my clothes resulting in being absolutely drenched I made a complaint about the tap and my clothes being drenched a girl waiter laughed and said what tap which I explained to her she replied on right and walked off! We asked for dessert menu and then decided we would leave My mum made a compliant on the way out and the recipients said to my mum there is no way you waited an hour! Their attitudes are stinking and we will never return Definitely do NOT recommend this hotel Shame really as we never complain but this hotel has rude staff with slow service and they clearly do not know how to handle a complaint! We will never be back!!

Brought a friend for a meal, had battered haddock which would've broken the windows if thrown. Friend had veg cauliflower with chips, bland. Staff were great, we complained but no outcome. Very disappointed

Booked a table for 4 for a Sunday before Christmas and when we got to the door were advised there was a limited menu as there was an issue in the kitchen. We had no where else to go so agreed to go ahead with the booking. An hour and 10 minutes later we got our dinner. 3 burgers and chips that were fine and chicken with mashed potatoes, onion rings and pepper sauce. This dish had obviously been sitting for a while as the edges of the chicken were dry and the sauce had dried around the edge of the bowl that the meal was served in. We decided not to complain as we had waited so long, however I then noticed there was bacon in the mash....as I don't eat red meat I definitely wouldn't have ordered this. I spoke to a staff member who brought me a new fresh meal minus the bacon. A few days later I emailed to say we should have been given the option to rebook earlier when they realised there was an issue and never got a reply. I remailed a few weeks later and am still waiting. Today we thought we would try again....won't be back. Front of house staff all lovely and very busy. My chicken burger was cold and the chips were overcooked. 2nd chance was given and there won't be a third.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at The Lansdowne Hotel. The breakfast was really good and plenty of it, great staff - really friendly, vibrant bar and good drink selection with live music in the evening, tasty evening meal. Room was comfortable with selection of toiletries- only slight negative was slightly dated room and cleaning not tip top.

Fantastic two night stay at the Lansdowne! Very friendly and professional staff from reception to bar/restaurant. Breakfast, evening meal and dessert was delicious. Even the live music gets a 5 star! The room was spotless and heating just right. Thanks for a lovely stay Edwina & Richie

Visited Landsdowne Hotel on Saturday 19/2/22 with family. Excellent food, great cocktails and entertainment first class! We all had a very enjoyable afternoon/night and will definitely be back for more. Very relaxed atmosphere and great staff!

Was happy to hear about the reopening of this place, however my recent experience of the food and service was so poor I won't be back. Among the problems were a long wait, cold food. As I said I won't be back.

Myself and my sister visited the Lansdowne Restaurant recently to go for lunch with our kids after a morning out. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich which came toasted (I didn’t ask for toasted) within the first two bites I felt something and spat it...

So last Thursday evening after a local horse riding session with my 2 daughters we stopped here for some food. I have been a customer of the Lansdowne, old and new, for about 12 years. It's was 6:05 in the evening. My daughters are 9 and 10. We were excited as the small plates we had 2 weeks before were fab. On arrival to the bar we waited to be seated. A dark skinned waiter approached us. I said we wanted a table for the 3 of us for bar food. He then proceeded to go over and chat to a young blonde lady (I think she was a manager/supervisor). We stood a good 6/7 minutes while he faffed about talking to all the staff. I felt like we were 3 aliens or something standing there. He returned and refused us a table because of my daughter's. Stating that "because of them" (while pointing his finger) we would have to eat in the restaurant. I stated that we come at this time most Thursdays after horse riding. Also I might add that there was a boy no more than 10 EATING in the bar. Now I have been born and bred in Ireland and never in my life have I heard of someone been turned away at 6 o clock for food. I do not drink nor are my girls ever brought in the company of alcohol. The atmosphere was purely people eating at that time. We visited purely for our dinner. Do u have a no children policy at 6pm? We were so embarrassed and my daughter cried her eyes out in the car. It was shameful and uncalled for the way it was handled.

We went to hotel for a family birthday celebration, there where 8 in our party. We were handed the menus and made our choice. When the waiter came to take our orders people who had ordered sirloin and rib eye steak and lamb there was...

Recientemente visité con un grupo de familiares que estaban en un Belfast de Birmingham para celebrar las vacaciones de Navidad. Aparecimos por primera vez el día de Año Nuevo y todo parecía estar bien, hasta que accidentalmente rompimos un vaso y hubieras pensado que realmente habíamos hecho algo mal. El personal estaba claramente muy molesto por tener que limpiarlo y habló sobre el incidente y nuestra fiesta mientras estaban de pie junto a nosotros. Incómoda es la palabra que me viene a la mente, en absoluto la hospitalidad de Belfast que encontramos en el centro de la ciudad.En nuestra última noche, el resto de nuestro grupo decidió que les gustaría cenar en el hotel, ya que estaba cerca de nuestro AirBnb; pensamos que era mejor intentar llamar para reservar una mesa. Primero llamó mi cuñado (acento inglés) y le colgaron el teléfono. Luego intentamos nuevamente con mi compañero llamando (nuevamente acento inglés), el teléfono colgó nuevamente.Luego llamé (acento irlandés del norte) y pude reservar una mesa con bastante facilidad.No es de extrañar que al final hayamos elegido ir al centro de la ciudad y haber tenido una gran noche, haber visto lo mejor de la gente de Belfast y haber tenido una comida mucho mejor de lo que sospecho que habríamos recibido en Lansdowne.Decepcionado por decir lo menos. ¡Lo sabré para la próxima!

I have eaten here a few times from the landsdown has reopened as it’s local. I must say last week I had to send my risotto back as it was cold. The menu reads a lot tastier than it actually is. The staff are great and on the ball. Pity as would love a great local restaurant

£40 ahead for carvery today (don't mind paying that amount) but the starter soup i had was so bland and cold..got the turkey and ham and trimmings i can just say i could'nt say any of it was nice.. got cake and custard.. custard was cold the staff were attentive but looked very sombre..

Have at least one veggie main that is customisable for vegans at night and a vegan option for dessert, fantastic for me and food is deserving of a very good rating. Unfortunately breakfast substandard was served putrid black avocado on toast one morning that was clearly well past it's serving date and so had to send it back.

I make no excuse the last time I reviewed this venue I was disappointed......well folks I can honestly say what an improvement.The food was lovely piping hot plates all table served together. Dairyfree not a problem. Choice wide and varied.Decorations were classy not tacky. Then came the entertainment a lovely group of men singing mo town. Had my filming skills been better I would have put up a clip.I am tee total so had my wits about me and can honestly say this is a great improvement and now will visit again

Called in off the cuff to what would be be local. Really impressed with the new layout of the bar and restaurant. Staff were really helpful and polite...great craic after a few free cocktails too. Would highly recommend for a quiet drink, some food or even a weekend out

My daughter and I stayed here as we were attending a show in the city which my niece was starring in so it was a nice treat to stay over. The surroundings are lovely in the hotel reception and bar, the hotel rooms are average for the price, however it is unfortunately the staff who give this place it’s poor reputation. Everything from our check-in experience when an extremely rude lady called us “awkward” and rolled her eyes when we asked if it was possible to request a room which wasn’t situated over the bar to the restaurant staff who did not crack as much as a smile. We felt so uncomfortable that we finished our starters and went into town for dinner before the show. I wish I had listened to my local friends who warned us not to expect the warm, family atmosphere that The Lansdowne was once known for.

Used to come here a lot before, however new management have ruined its great reputation. I’ve been in it once since it has been taken over and the staff all look miserable which shows with the poor service we received. We were welcomed with a complete lacklustre attitude by waiting staff when taking our order, we nearly felt like we were an inconvenience! Our drinks were slammed in front of us, the pint spilling and not even as much as an apology. When we had finished, plates were lifted and we weren’t offered the dessert menu, nor tea or coffee. After ten minutes of waiting I had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill and was ignored then given a nod. Such a shame that this has happened to such a fabulous establishment. I’m afraid we won’t be back.

Tried The Lansdowne for Sunday lunch as it’s local. Heard mixed reviews from family, friends and local people. Arrived about 1.30pm found a table in the bar at the window. Waitress came over promptly and took drinks order. As we sat waiting I read trip advisor reviews which were not all good.

Called here with family too have a look round and on first impression was amazed a the turn around in decor alone.

We are local to North Belfast and had heard such awful things about things about this place from former staff who have made a lucky escape and disappointed customers, decided to give it a go and see what the hype was about. Welllllll.... what a fiasco of a visit, after ditching the kids at nanny & grandads because no kids after 4!!! We were standing around for 35 minutes waiting for a table, asked a waitress who later identified herself as the manager if she could find us a booth, she laughed in our faces and said “do you realise how busy we are? You’ll have to grab what u can see and you’ll be lucky to get anything” and ran off smirking.. bizarre interaction. Finally got a small table with awkward stools and crammed 4 of us around when the table is basically big enough for 1. Ordered cocktails. Expensive & nothing fancy. Took near 20 mins to come! Still hadn’t been given menus! Asked twice! Ordered 12 of the tapas. Dry reheated and flavourless. Congealed dried out minuscule cuts of meat and flimsy skinny wings. Nobody checked to see were we enjoying our raw chips. Didn’t bother staying for dessert as the music was so loud we couldn’t even have a conversation. Paid a fortune for utter garbage and fled. Staff seem rushed off their feet and absolutely miserable which matches the word going around Belfast and Facebook anyway. Beautiful layout is the only compliment we have, but what a chaotic and poorly organised business. Won’t be back. Ever. Don’t waste your money. Much nicer places and food for less money and your kids can actually go elsewhere with you. Banging music and staff on verge of tears. Boycott until they sort the place. A well known landmark and long standing business being run into the ground for a quick buck by a has-been movie star.

Had lunch yesterday. Got the chicken burger with chips. Burger was fantastic although our chips undercooked and had to be returned but server dealt with this efficiently. I decided on the Eton tidy for dessert, what can I say, bad decision! This consisted of 2 strawberries cut in half with approximately 4 blackberries and 8 blueberries neatly arranged on sauce and 2 squirts of cream with about 7 mini meringues in centre of plate. Looked nice however for £6, yes you read right, I would be giving this dessert a miss in future.

We ate here on a Sunday lunch time, main bar. Very poor quality of food. Mixed plate selection, reheated terrible quality food. Roast turkey, had to ask for it to be heated. Turkey (before being reheated) was shocking. Slices were curling up with dryness. No cranberry sauce. No gravy. Had to ask for both. Nobody checked the table to see if everything was ok.

Ordered a variation of the small plates on 2 occasions and the options for vegetarian is Simply Bland Boring Unimaginative and poor value for money

Visited last weekend for the Sunday carvery. Service was very good and we were given drinks quickly. The buffet itself is large and varied with everything being good quality. The meat selection was excellent and sooooo delicious. The beef was cooked to perfect and all the sides were warm and tasty. Lastly the desserts were AMAZING! Everything seemed freshly made and was very good. We left stuffed to the gills! Will be back soon for some more of that beautiful roast beef!

Only fault was the music was unsuitable for the age group and also too loud.

We called in recently and the hotel and bar look amazing. The waiter and waitress who brought our drinks to us were very friendly and quick to bring the drinks . There were three of us and we decided to order the small plates. So in total there were 11 small plates ordered. The steak was like steak pieces so tough, the bruschetta with tomatoes was like something from Iceland as was the bruschetta with duck, the buffalo wings looked anaemic we asked for a portion of onion rings and asked the waitress are they definitely freshly made and not frozen and she assured us they were! They weren’t they definitely were frozen. Freshly made onion rings come in different shapes and uneven these were perfectly formed circles. Again we asked about the French fries were they handmade and were assured again they were. These were like McDonalds chips. We called the waitress over and told her and she was lovely and took all of the food away one bite was taken from some plates. We were not charged for food at all which was excellent so we had our drinks and left never to return.
