3 Oceans Restaurant review by tony
My wife and I went last night, Saturday 10th March. We were taken by 2 friends who had eaten before at 3 Oceans and had had a reasonable meal. It was just a convenient place for us all to meet. I had read the reviews before going and was slightly panicked. With justification.
The service was the worst I have ever experienced at any restaurant. They frankly have zero idea what to do. We had a table booked for 8.15. We waited over 20 minutes for the table to be cleared and set for us to sit down. Should have left then.
During that 20 minute wait we ordered drinks; they came after 30 minutes. The waiter came to take our order after another 15 minutes. By now I was beginning to lose the will to eat let alone live.
The order got screwed up by the waiter ( it was not at all complex but he managed to confuse a starter for a main course) however the starters did eventually all turn up, but by now it was after 10.00.
We had been chasing them for our food throughout the wait. It took over the evening.
And to make up for the slow service they cleared away the starters and delivered half the main courses about 2 minutes later. The rest arrived after another 5 minutes !!
However the waiting staff were not at all rude, patronising or surly in any way. A couple couldnt really understand us and others just apologised. The problem was the kitchen and the bar, just too few and probably incompetent staff.
Quite apart from the owner, who we gather was in attendance and was told about the abysmal service, but chose to leave rather than approach us.
Then the noise. It is pretty overwhelming what with large family parties and the nowadays obligatory plasma screens in the "background". Even when the volume was turned down on the TV's, you could only have a conversation when shouting!!!
Staggered if he still has a business to run in a few weeks time.
Oh, of course the food. It does pretend to be a restaurant. Pretty mediocre. Had better at any number of smart local Indian restaurants, let alone in town.
