We decided to go on Sunday evening at 8. We ordered the house white which was fine. My wife ordered a caprese salad and I ordered Prawn Cocktail. The caprese salad consisted of a whole piece of mozzarella ,four uncut tomatoes and a large pile of lettuce thrown on a plate without any presentation at all. However the prawn cocktail was lovely. Next the mains. I ordered Chicken Valdostano and my wife ordered Flattened Rump steak cooked medium rare. The chicken was battered as expected but was covered with green beans and a strange but not unpleasant tasting sauce. the menu said it was served with roast potatoes but instead there were five chips hidden under the chicken, however it tasted fine. My wifes meal on the other hand was awful the steak was over an inch thick and almost raw and the plate was swimming with blood. she had a sharp knife but could not cut it. If was supposed to be flattened steak. After complaining the staff were very apologetic and deducted it from the bill and gave us a complimentary coffee. she said that it was the second complaint they had received that evening. I have been going to this restaurant for the last twenty years under its various names but will not return to Allard's lounge.
