| - People love this place, but i am biased towards it.
I had one terrible terrible terrible experience and the boiler house is slowly making up for it in my personal sense.
I've been about 4 times now.
My first time was when disaster struck. I was with a group, and they messed up many things including the timing of our food (half got the food while half were already done), ENTIRELY not accommodating vegetarians simple because it wasn't on the menu prepared for the night, messing up our wine bottle orders and refusing to fix it because they opened the wrong bottles, terrible attitude from the server, and the of course waiter loosing our birthday cake that was specially made to order, and then screwing up the bill to include a bar bill that wasn't ours and ofcourse the wrong wine again. In the end, and after much debate, we decided not to tip the waiter at all and explained this to the manager (a decision that was very hard to make), only to have him later call us on the phone number we made a reservation with to tell us off. Terrible.
Since then i have been back for dinners and a wedding. All in all, i have to say, it's good food and great ambience. The venue is a little strange for a wedding personally, but it's industrial feel makes it different from all the regular stuff. I appreciate the jazz factor alot, but it makes it less intimate with friends. That being said, a little vino and you've got yourself a great night. The boiler house wouldn't be the same if it weren't in the distellery and thats the only reason i've been back (despite my initial boycott).
