Review for Bistro Pierre
Review for Bistro Pierre – Sunday Roast Experience
My partner and I decided to pop into Bistro Pierre for a Sunday roast and were initially pleased when the host managed to find us a table by the window on a busy Sunday afternoon. However, the experience quickly went downhill due to the poor service.
Despite the restaurant being busy, they were still accepting walk-ins, yet service felt overwhelmed and disorganised. We waited quite some time for anyone to take our drink order, and when a young male waiter finally approached, he simply stood there and said, “Yes...” – blunt and unwelcoming, which surprised us both.
After placing our food and drink order, 20 minutes passed with no sign of our drinks. I walked up to the bar only to find them sitting there waiting, so I grabbed them myself. A waitress commented on how busy they were, but at that point, I just wanted to take them to the table rather than wait any longer.
Our beef roasts arrived another 25 minutes later. The food itself was good, and the portions were generous, which was a plus. However, my partner’s beef cut was very fatty, making it less enjoyable for her.
When it was time to pay, we struggled to get anyone’s attention for the bill, so I had to walk up to the till to settle it myself. Given the lack of service throughout, we requested the service charge be removed – rightfully so.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was frustrating, and despite the food being decent, the service was practically non-existent. We won’t be returning.
