    Very slow service, waiting nearly an hour for food. Meals bought out with a long wait between plates for a party of 5. Place was virtually empty up front with a function down back. Staff ignore you, if you can find any. Won’t be back.

    When we arrived, the booking was made and table reserved as requested. Staff were friendly on arrival - prompt with taking drinks and food orders and also clearing away once we finished. Paying with the eatclub app was simple and easy and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food which was served quickly and delicious prior to attending a movie at the Palace. Would definaltey retrun and highly recommend The Deck.

    The food was atrocious. I ordered avocado smash and it came looking like some kind of a dark watery substance. Tasting very sweet. Where was avocado. I wasn't sure. The times must be tough because it did not taste like avocado at all and it was thoroughly diluted with come kind of liquid to hide the taste. We were frequent visitors to this establishment in the past and the avocado smash had chunks of avocado. You could actually see it and taste it. This time the dish was a mess. I am not sure if there is a new ownership. I suspect it is. My advice to new owners to rethink their menu and not make changes unless you know what you are doing. We will not be coming back.

    Service and atmosphere were fantastic. A couple of us had poached eggs, but they were overcooked and hard when served.
