"I booked a table for persons for dinner we arrived minutes early but this was not a problem and got seated straight away, the waiting staff were very friendly, but from the moment we ordered (starter main) it went drastically downhill from there, starters arrived in good time but we were not even halfway through our starters when the (I assume was the manager as he was dressed differently to the others) brought our mains over!, I promptly stated as you can clearly see we havent even got half way through our starters yet' and asked him to take them away, which he did, starters and the shakes were the only thing nice about the food, our mains then turned up shortly after we finished our starters, but the meat (chicken) were absolutely poor tasted like they were part cooked yesterday and finished off when needed, my daughter and I left most of our main, the restaurant started to fill and it started to become clear that lots of customers were either waiting to order receive their order or waiting to have their finished palates taken away, we waited approx to have ours taken away!, I asked at one point do we have to take these to the kitchen ourselves , it was almost out of control with only waiting staff covering the whole restaurant which by this time was full and a other or so customers at the door waiting to come in, staff was never going to contain this, more and more customers were getting out of their seats and going up to the waiting staff regarding orders or wanting to order, with that amount of staff the manager should have closed off part section of the tables before opening so it was manageable, I went up to one of the staff member and told him that I have asked several times to have our plates cleared which has been approximately minutes now and order dessert, again met with the same apology other customers had been told, in the end after waiting minutes we had had enough, got the bill and left, never again!!"

"Came with big family party for my birthday. Extremely disappointed, starters were ok but all came at different times, had to ask a waitress where one was as everyone else had finished theirs and she just looked absolutely clueless as to why we were talking to her. New waiter didn’t even know what dishes he was bringing out and looked at us to answer for him, fair enough he’s new but come on, train your staff the basics. Didn’t get free bottle of wine even though we ordered tapas. One blonde girl walking around just playing with her hair and we didn’t understand the point in her being there, she didn’t do a thing all night, she just looked like she’d got lost. We didn’t get asked if we wanted a drink the whole night, had to keep asking where our mains were, an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived and my ‘jerk’ chicken burger was so bad, the bread sopping wet and falling to bits and the chicken was just plain chicken breast with none of the **** cut off it and slightly seasoned. the ‘manager’ said this was cause the chef had put ‘loads of sauce on it’ but there was no sauce at all, bone dry chicken, didn’t put any spicy sauce in like I asked and when I requested it they brought me a squeezey bottle to do it myself. Cajun chips came plain and when we told them they just sprinkled some Cajun seasoning just on the top, meat was all fatty and sparse on the bbq combo dish, boneless chicken wings were just chicken tenders!!?? The ribs had no meat on at all literally just bone, curry was cold and plain with no flavour to it at all. Everything bang average, staff unbelievably immature, very badly trained with no customer service skills or communication skills. The managers response when we told him all this was ‘I can only apologise’ so we had to request for money to be knocked off our bill, which they did- fair enough but we had to really push for this. Feels like they hire very young staff and don’t bother training them. Honestly a very, very poor experience and would never go back or recommend to anyone. Don’t ignore the bad reviews they’re all very accurate. The only member of staff I appreciated tonight was the girl with the dark hair who first took our order, she was the only one with any customer service skill or any sense."

"I had been excited for weeks to visit red dog saloon as I have visited before and the chicken was good. We went on a Saturday evening and firstly it was very busy. We had booked a table so we’re seated after a short wait. Service was slow but it was busy. We ordered two main dishes (both chicken), a side of burnt end mash and a side of nachos. The chicken was very good. Plentiful in portion size and great flavour. This was the highlight of the meal. The mash was one of the most atrocious portions of mash I have ever laid eyes on. Swimming in what could only be described as fat rather than gravy. No taste other than fat and mash of such questionable consistency it didn’t appear there most of the time. This needs removing from the menu or changing asap! Scandalous presentation for £7.50. Nachos were stale and disappointing. No salsa and cheese on them also had no flavour. Not great for the £10.50 we paid for them. Service continued to slow the longer we stayed to the point where our plates were not cleared after our meal. Servers were often clearing tables that were empty rather than attending customers still at the restaurant (who may continue to spend money on drinks or desserts) or were talking amongst each other. We sat staring at the cold congealed mess of mashy fat before getting up, asked to pay with a server and left. Left disappointed as they had been great on previous visits. Sadly lost a customer here."

"We came for a meal before going to a show in Manchester since the restaurant had be recommended by a friend. We arrived in time but it took ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us stood at the desk, we were then seated but right under a vent so moved to a table across the way because it was too cold. (Everyone in the restaurant was sat in coats) It took 15 minutes until any staff came over to take our drinks order, at this point it was only 5pm so the restaurant wasn’t very busy yet. We ordered the frickles to start then I ordered the vegan burger and my boyfriend ordered the pit tray. It reached 5.30pm and there was still no sign of any food so we asked politely if our food was coming soon, the waitress replied and said she would go and check. The food arrived about 10 minutes later, but all together? When we had ordered starter and main, we weren’t too bothered at this point since we were so hungry and worried about missing our show. The food arrived luke warm and went cold very quick, my vegan burger just came with lettuce and no sauce, not as advertised. The staff also didn’t ask if we would like any sauces or extra drinks to go with our meal. We didn’t finish our food and quickly asked for the bill to see they added on 12.5% service charge making the bill £55, we paid and left disappointed. Overall the staff we nice enough but very unorganised, the food was very average and low quality for the price. We are not the type to usually complain but we couldn’t even finish our meal because it was cold after 5 minutes. I"

"My review on my first visit to the duck westbourne. 1. Food is 4* can improve. We had the tempura prawns which were cooked perfectly,5*. I had the BBQ big boy,3*. What let my dish down, the dry chicken and not so soft corn on...cob. The ribs however were the best I've ever had, juicy, tender goodness that even my partner had to steal from my plate. Price range med-high. Wait time for food shortly after our drinks arrived 2. Cocktails is 3*, please please can you adjust your flavour profiles for your cocktails. Some are good and some are just . For instance the mojito, the mint in there is not just for aesthetics. Should be able to taste. Please bare in mind I know everyone has different preferences but a mojito is a standard cocktail. Wait time for drinks from ordering 15-20 mins. Prices arevage. 3. Service is 2*, now here is were it needs the most improvement. Firstly door person greeted us with a smile and we were greeted again by a waitress with a pleasant manner. Our reserved table was taken up by 2 drinkers who were asked politely to move to the bar. Table was not cleaned down prior to us sitting. We waited for a short time before having our order taken, great so far so good. Drinks then food. After receiving our dishes, not once did anyone come over to ask how they were and if everything is ok. Only when we were finished, someone came over to clear the table and asked if we wanted more drinks. Again no concern on the food. The bill, here is were I have been so disappointed with the service. Waited over 20 mins while staff did other things including chatting to each other before I decided to get up and leave, yes only then did the waitress say have you paid? Well no, I've been waiting for over 20 mins. Oh you should of put your hand up to get my attention.... seriously put my hand up! Wow . Like I'm back in school. If you are going to serve high end food at top tier prices, then the service must be the same. I've had better service at other places where the food was terrible. This place is great. Greatish food with music and you can even have a dance if you wanted. Yes it is a bar/ food vendor but if they wish to keep their high end kitchen staff, the service needs improving. Atmosphere was slightly loud with excellent music playing, great choice of food and drink. Would love to come back and not drive to have an all out night in this venue. Overall score on this occasion 3.5* I look forward to my next visit"
