Very understaffed… received my pornstar martini in a small glass as they ran out of proper glasses. Food nice but staff couldn’t cope with the crowd. People waiting 20+ mins for their bill. 30mins for the drink. Wouldn’t recommend

The Hotel bar / restaurant was clean and looked good. The staff very friendly. The service was very slow there was only several people in the restaurant. I had to go looking for staff on two occasions to get the next course. The food was only of bar quality not restaurant? To be fair the amount of food for each course was good. I would book the hotel again The Samual and the Breakfast was great. But I would not book the restaurant we will eat somewhere else.

The food was very good and arrived quickly. However the staff were very disorganised and seemed stressed out having to deal with the amount of people in the restaurant. We were seated and then left waiting 35 minutes before anyone took our order, I had to get up from the table to try and get a staff members attention. It felt like we were forgotten about. We were due to go to an event in the 3arena that evening and having to wait so long unfortunately made us late for the beginning.

Very disappointing experience here. We arrived at 5:30 and the staff seemed lovely on arrival and when we ordered. The starters arrived as we were surprised that there were only 3 potato skins for the cost. The Spicy chicken wings were lovely so it was a mixed experience on the food. The starters were collected at 6:15 and I enquired with a waiter at 6:45 as to how much longer our main courses would be and he just shrugged. We waited 10 minutes and enquired with the on-duty manager who said he would check but didn't go near the kitchen and never returned to us. At 7pm enquired again and were brushed off with no explanation or apology for the wait and we left at 7:05 having had no main course and still no explanation as to what took so long. The restaurant was not full at this time.
