| - I've been here for drinks before, and sitting at the bar, the service has always been adequate. However, I was there on Friday night with a friend for dinner and drinks. This was the first time I had dinner there.
Unfortunately, it didn't go well. We ordered our drinks from the waitress, and when the server (not our waitress) brought them, she actually spilled both pints on our table, and across our laps. They were apologetic and brought napkins, but there was no effort to make amends in any way. At one point the waitress actually blamed the beer glasses for the spills. In my opinion, they could have at least comp'd a drink for us. It would have made all the difference. Instead, it put a real downer on the evening.
My friend had the veggie burger, and I had fish & chips. The food was unimpressive.
The atmosphere was ok, but very loud. we had to shout at each other to be heard.
I understand that the Duke Of Kent's days are numbered, as condos are to be built on that site. I can't say I'll be sorry to see it go. I may stop in again for a pint (probably not, though) but I definitely don't plan to eat there ever again.
