We had high expectations given its prime waterfront location and historic building. Wish I had read the other review before visiting.

The food was poor given the price, for example, $25 for a drab mixed platter. Mains were just blah! Chicken was drowning in gluggy blue cheese sauce.
Also the menu was missing key elements like sides of bread, salad or vegetables. No daily specials, no soup of the day.

Dessert menus arrived on scrappy and stained paper. Good selection of beer and wine though.

Would not recommend eating anything here.

Visited on the suggestion of a friend. Restaurant was suspiciously empty but we thought it must be good as maybe the crowd hadn’t yet turned up. We seemed to have dragged our waitress away from something far more entertaining (we later learned that there was a party going on in the “Penthouse”). When I went to pay she had to be pulled back downstairs to take my money. Oh the unfairness of having to work….
Table need a wipe down and I will accept lipstick on one wine glass but TWO out of FOUR is maybe chancing to luck (even Lotto doesn’t offer these odds….).
Menus were well thumbed tied up with a piece of blue ribbon and if you can explain what a “Resturant” is I’d like to know….
Food of an acceptable standard but we all felt a mismatch between cost(high), quantity(small) and overall quality(nothing special).
There was also a longish wait (at least 20 minutes) for the food to arrive and I am guessing that the “Penthouse” had a prior claim on the kitchen.
Needs a lot of work on the decor and putting an engraved sign in the Gents proclaiming that the urinal was found behind a wall during renovations and therefore might be the original one from 1902-03 doesn’t make your trip there any more special and just seems a bit twee.
I note that this is the first review of this place and I can only guess that the others couldn’t be bothered or are just plain amazed at what they’ve just experienced. I do however note some equally bemused hotel guests have left comments about staying there. Some like it so maybe you’ll get them on a good day. Or, go and buy a Lotto ticket….
