Great
service,
WOEFUL
chef.
We
came
here
recently
for
our
anniversary,
a
booking
made
over
a
month
ago.
I
advised
in
my
booking
5
weeks
ago
that
it
was
our
anniversary
and
that
we
wanted
a
seafood
only
menu
for
one
of
the
diners.
When
we
arrived,
the
venue
was
empty
at
7:30
on
a
Friday
night
in
the
city
(sadly
this
makes
sense
to
me
now).
They
were
playing
an
awful
soundtrack
from
the
90s,
that
sounded
like
it
was
playing
from
a
half
broken
radio.
Whilst
I
donโt
really
judge
this
type
of
thing,
it
definitely
ruined
the
atmosphere
in
the
totally
empty
restaurant.
The
wait
staff
were
very
friendly
and
attentive,
thank
you
to
them
for
a
lovely
night.
That
said,
in
short,
the
food
was
average
at
the
best
of
times,
and
at
the
worst,
made
you
wonder
what
kind
of
chef
is
being
paid
to
serve
up
this
menu.
I
was
absolutely
shocked
and
appalled
at
my
first
course
which,
as
a
non
meat
eater,
ended
up
as
literally
vegetables
in
boiled
broth.
The
waitress
even
stated
when
we
first
arrived
โthe
chef
is
still
working
out
what
to
serve
โyouโ
for
the
first
courseโ.
Had
I
not
booked
5
weeks
before
I
may
not
have
been
disappointed
by
the
literal
frozen
corn
and
peas
served
in
seaweed
broth
with
3
cherry
tomatoes
that
arrived
for
me.
If
I
hadnโt
have
paid
$175
for
my
meal
I
may
not
have
been
so
upset.
And
that
disappointment
followed
through
every
other
course.
What
a
terrible
disappointment
for
such
a
wonderful
venue.

-
you
desperately
need
a
new
chef
that
understands
what
degustation
and
FLAVOUR
actually
means.
You
also
need
to
understand
that
catering
for
people
with
eating
differences
means
more
than
boiling
some
vegetables
-
if
you
canโt
accommodate
them
then
just
say
so,
donโt
make
guests
pay
for
your
lack
of
planning
ability.
In
addition,
for
the
price
paid,
we
were
disappointed
that
our
anniversary
celebration
was
not
acknowledged
by
the
staff
in
any
way
at
all
-
a
truly
crappy
experience
for
the
price
you
charge.
I
have
visited
too
many
restaurants
I
can
count,
and
even
the
worst
of
them
made
an
effort
to
acknowledge
the
occasion
after
it
being
asked
for,
and
mentioned,
on
the
booking.
Sadly,
we
will
never
come
back
here
Lamontโs,
an
absolutely
woeful
experience.
I
now
totally
understand
how
a
mid-city
fine-dining
restaurant
can
be
empty
on
what
should
be
a
busy
Friday
night.
