Having had an exquisite meal at this restaurant in July, I was really looking forward to eating here again on New Year's Eve. I ordered the fish of the day with baby potatoes and quinelle of scallop... my partner ordered the pork. I was extremely disappointed when my meal arrived. The fish was dry, the potatoes were enormous, dry and not peeled properly, and there was no quinelle of scallop. A very bland sauce accompanied this meal but had little or no seasoning in it. The staff sought an explanation from the chef as to the potatoes ... apparently a different delivery from their supplier ... fair enough had they been cooked in an appetising manner ... also the 'quinelle of scallop' was hunted down and placed in front of me ... two small circular rubbery moderately fishy tasting items the size of a 10 cent piece. My partner enjoyed his meal more although the pork too, was very dry. The staff were apologetic and we did get a small discount on the meal. I was told the head chef was on holiday and that the feedback would be passed on. There was a table of four adults adjacent to where we were sitting, who, on their departure commented to me that their meals were terrible also....a shame they did not give this feedback to the restaurant staff. It is such a shame that the calibre of food here has taken such a catastrophic dive as 6 months ago the food was devine... and at $36-$42 a main, one would expect only good quality food be allowed out of the kitchen


19.4.13 Have just had a superb dining experience back at the Solway Grill!! Thank you Jerry and your attentive staff for giving us a complimentary dinner for two in reparation for the below par dinner we had on New Year's Eve. The whole meal was absolutely delicious ... and the service was excellent. Much appreciated and we will definitely be back. :-)
