    Food was not good, service was a joke. Had to get up and get my own coffee refill. Place was completely empty and still had horrible service. Will not return

    There was only one server. We told the server we had theatre tickets and needed to be there by 7:30. We came in at 6. Food was not hot and it came out at 7:10. Slow service. Restaurant virtually empty. Drinks even took a long time. I had been told if we ate there and went to the theatre parking was free. It was not $15. Even though theatre was theirs and around the corner. We got there 5 minutes late. Not going back again. We spent over 400 dollars for 7 of us.

    Our 2nd visit was a good as out first. The spinach risotto was excellent the scallops and shrimp huge and abundant. We were told that there will be some alterations to the restaurant to make it "friendlier" that will only add to a really nice experience as it's now hidden away in a corner and hard to find.

    Service was extremely slow especially given we were only 1 of 2 parties in the entire restaurant. Appetizers were actually very good as was the salad however, the entrees were SUPER SALTY, almost inedible.

    We were the only people there for our reservation at 8 so we were worried that it wasn't going to be good but boy were we pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the drinks were delicious. It seemed strange that no one was there considering how good the food was. I got the scallops and prawns and my boyfriend got the chicken pasta. We shared the cheese plate and roasted brusselsprouts. Would most definitely return.

    Ida Bailey's is located inside the beautiful Grand Horton Hotel. For breakfast, my huge omelette was soft and delicious and the booth was comfortable and inviting. I returned with my husband for dinner, and service was once again excellent. I ordered steak with potatoes - perfect. I was so surprised that there was only two other booths occupied. Don't let the empty restaurant scare you away - more table options.
