Have dined here quite a few times and enjoyed it but the last time we went was very disappointing- I ordered the eye fillet which consisted of 2 thin slices of meat with a couple of miniature baby carrots and a teaspoon sized piece of beetroot (described on the menu as "seasonal vegetables") Despite having to send the meat back as it was underdone, we received no apology, and even though I am not a big eater I was still hungry after the "meal". And the cost of this feast? $42! There are too many good value restaurants around for me to ever go back there!

The food at this restaurant has always been good, we have been going there for years, however the relatively new owner is one of the rudest people I have ever met- she definitely should not be running a restaurant as she has no people skills whatsoever. The last time we went she informed me that we could not use our entertainment card and bring a bottle of wine, we had to choose one of the two, fair enough I guess but she went on to say that maybe we would like her to pay us to eat there, in an extremely rude manner! Needless to say we walked away, never to return

I applied for a new citibank low-rate mastercard (the one they have been advertising on TV with 1.9% interest) and was appalled at the way I was treated. Despite having faxed through all the documents they originally requested (and there were a lot of them) they constantly rang me saying they needed more information, at night and during the day, despite me telling them not to ring me at work. They also rang my employer quite a few times and demanded that she tell them personal details about me, when they only needed to know how much I earned. I could not believe the questions I was being asked, mostly by Indians who I had trouble understanding. I applied for a mortgage several years ago and the process was simpler! I eventually lost my cool after I received another late night phone call while out with friends asking for documents I had already sent weeks earlier and told them to cancel my application, just not worth the hassle.
