Week Six, Alchamey

Week six, Alchemy Bar & Restaurant. This place has $8 steaks every Thursday, only thing is that you have to get a spot at the bar, that's a pretty big ask! We missed out and took up a pew in the restaurant.

We had a new member join us tonight, Welcome 'LP'

The meals too around 34 mins to come out from the last order to the last meal.

"RB' Thoughts - Nicely cooked chicken and good chips, not many chips and parma was small, salad was plain and had no taste. Vibe was good, rather loud tho. service was poor with not bringing drinks, not clearing table after meal and tacky paper menu.

I think we all agreed that the service was pretty poor, weather they were understaffed or that's just how they run their restaurant.
Time for the overall average score for this week

There you have it, the service was shit!  I think this week was a bit of a let down for us all as some of us have had very decent meals and service there in the past. That's two weeks in a row we have been let down, can next week brake the happening trend?

See you next week at The Comercial Hotel
