we are a regular at the grill by sean connolly but decided we would try something different so we chose to go here for a friend's birthday, we thought it would be busy so be booked a week in advance.
turned up at our sitting time and was told they would be with us shortly, after 15 minutes went by and 2 groups of 4 that arrived after us, we're seated before us we decided to say something just to make sure they hadn't forgotten us. they apologised and said it wouldn't be too much longer. we were seated 45 minutes after our booking time and 2 more groups of 4 were seated before us. not exactly a good start...
everyone ordered entrees, mains and desserts. calamari schnitzel was great, as was the steak tartare and king crab. 2 of us had preordered the signature prime rib so we were expecting something excellent however, the meat was over cooked. we assumed it would come medium rare but was more like medium - well done, quite disappointed. however, we probably should have checked how it would come.
desserts were good, creme caramel was great so was the blue berry cheese cake.
wine list is awesome and the bar tender was very knowledge probably the highlight of the night!
service was good, however we ended up having to pour our own wine a few times which is fine in an average restaurant but we expected them to be more attentive. maybe we went in there with much higher expectations than we should of, but we won't be returning. would rather pay a little more at the grill and have an excellent dining experience opposed to a mediocre one.
