faraway Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Never eaten out in Scalloway but had a Take Away from the castle kitchen. Their curry sauce is the best i've tasted in Shetland by a long way but their chicken chow mein is the worst not because of the flavor but because they use thin noodles. Apple fritter are good too.

Houll_lass Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Does onybidy think dat Osla's his gone servearly doon hill recently?Its never been brilliant, but the last time i was in there..We were asked for our order about a minute after sitting down, then after sending the waitress away we had to wait for a good 20 minutes for service again. They would walk around our table, look at us, see we were looking at them, but no service!There was about 6 of them working... (5 being new young staff) and there was clearly NO communication between them.Our table was dirty and when someone came to clear it, we still had to ask for wir order t b taken!! Now, being a waitress myself, i was getting unbelieveably annoyed.. I didn't want to seem rude and wave them down for an order to be taken, because it annoys me when people do that to me. Once we finally got our order taken, it took them a good 5/10 minutes to bring a lemonade and a hot chocolate.. Which came a few minutes apart from each iddr!!!!! The same with out food.. Tables that came in after us had ordered and been served before us! Food came a good 5 minutes apart from each other! Its not like the quality of food was very good either, the staff also don't seem to understand any alergy orders taken either!! They all need some good training! There is no way, you would have that many young new staff on at once, when they all needed training.. Yeah, it was a saturday, but it wasn't very busy and the amount of staff in there, for such a terrible service... Lets say i wasn't happy!!!

Noodeyn Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I went in there about 2 years ago got the same service that you mention needless to say i havent been back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassermaet Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yep - service has been like that for years. I mind me and my best pal going in there a good few years ago now, must have been when I was about 16 or 17. There was a young lass on who served a few tables that were seated after us but blanked the two of us. Finally a young boy took our order, and a few minutes after this lass finally came by and said 'Are you being served, yeah?' I said 'Yes...' and resisted the urge to end with '...no thanks to you.' It never seems to get any better - a shame, because I do love those Cheeky Monkey sweet pancakes. Not had one in years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piggywiggie Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 its worse when you ask for something minus an ingreadient (sp) for whatever reason allergic to it or food tollarance etc and it comes with that and when you mention it and send it back they are so peed off!

hellsbells Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Because of the lack of niceness/speed/acknowledging you're actually wanting served and are willing to pay good money to eat there we have not been in Oslas for at least a year, so we went in yesterday and hey guess what? same again. So we'll maybe make that an annual visit to see if things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piggywiggie Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 i mean i cant eat anything thats had tomato on it....purely because it makes me feel so sick. i remember sending something back because o it and all they did was take the tomato off! needless to say if it was my bf and they had put mayo on it there would have been a lovely lovely mess on the floor. but honestly they should listen to what people can and cant eat as someone could end up really ill. and YES i have told them this before.

ArabiaTerra Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Has anyone been at the Maryfield recently?I was there for my Birthday at the start of the month and we were in the restaurant and got the full menu (not the bar one). It was fantastic, one of the best meals I've had anywhere. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollian Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Recently went to the Scalloway hotel, disappointing as I had previously had really good meals there. But this time, I could have made far better at home, also the service wasn't as good as it has been previously. I've also recently been to Baroc (Golden Coach), excellent meal, good service. Only thing was we had to keep asking for drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
