Usually go to Brentwood and always have great service and food! The starter of garlic bread with caramelised onions had no onion just the sauce they come in. The pizza my husband ordered had hardly any topping, he left half of it. This time we gave up waiting for someone to come and give us dessert menus. No-one came and checked if the food was ok. The waitress came and collected plates while my daughter was still eating her starter. Service lacked any interaction and friendliness. Also very slow. A disappointing visit for Father’s Day.
