What travelers say:
We took the kids to the Birkenhead Hotel bistro last night. We were joined by two other families, so in total we were a group of 13 including the kids. We have eaten at this bistro many times in the past and have always found it to be very reasonable and family friendly. But I just don't know what's happened over the past few months. The quality of the food has really deteriorated, and despite our group being about the only group there, at 7:30pm, they managed to run out of most of their chalkboard specials. They served most of our dishes completely over cooked, and asking them to make some minor modifications to the dishes to cater for my celiac nephew just became too difficult....a very inflexible chef, it would appear. To top it all off, the bar staff had the audacity to charge a $6 corkage fee for a bottle of wine we selected from their own wine list!!!! A real shame, because this used to be a very reliable place and a bit of a family favorite. The owners have really done themselves a disservice, and judging from the lack of patronage last night, we're probably not alone in feeling this way. Sorry guys, you won't be seeing us back for a while.
