Waiters under pressure. We received apologies for lack of service. We appeared to be forgotten about.Had to ask 3 times for bread to be brought to us. No apparent co ordination. Food was very good.

As a vegetarian, I found the choice at Damon's pitiful. I know it's primarily a meat restaurant... But so is McDonald's. And even they do a really nice meat free burger nowadays. Meat free, not 'vegetarian' burger, which is basically sweet corn, carrot etc in breadcrumbs. Very few vegetarians want that these days. Very poor and 30 years behind the times I'm afraid. And 15 for the 'pleasure'. Shant be going again until they catch up.

The meal was "OK" but very much over priced and not value for money. My big concern was there was very little distancing between tables. The tables were that close that you could easily touch the people behind and in front of you. Our server was very polite and courteous throughout.

I usually travel the hours journey at least 10 times every year to Damons however I will not ever come back, we came 4th of January, ordered food, was served bread in a wet basket, ordered 2 onion loaf, both soggy and salty. Then ordered 4 adult mains disappointed in tge fact they have stopped the garlic mash, apparently due to covid, and 3 kids mains. Everything was completely covered in salt! To the point where it burnt our mouths! Even beans was salted. We complain to the waiter who just said "yes we salt everything, would you like another drink?" 195.26 for awful food. Dont waste your money

We had a warm welcome and excellent service, unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. The ribs were way too sweet and the lobster with garlic butter should have been called raw garlic with a hint of lobster. About a tablespoon of raw garlic heaped on top of a lobster tail does not a garlic butter make. Was looking forward to a nice meal but seriously disappointed.

A really nice place to eat. The building is round and they have a bar area in the middle of the building, separating two restaurants, so while you are waiting for your table to be ready, you can just have a drink. They have a good selection of dishes and everything was amazing.
