    We have been to Debutante’s many times and the menu had changed and was disappointed to find that Beef Selection for Two was no longer on the menu, we ordered other dishes all delicious! It was a busy night and the service was still good but I did feel the experience overall was not as good as past visits.

    Awesome service and absolutely delicious food. Will come back. Some table candles or lamps by NEOZ would be the finishing touch.

    Food is delicious but for what you are paying the service is awful. Waited almost an hour for our mains and in that time had to flag down waiters three times just to fill up waters, order drinks and finally follow up on dinner. The team called prior to confirm we only had a 2 hour dining time but after 2 hours we were only just served our main. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

    Was hard to get staffs attention, for the price the experience didn’t seem any different from a standard restaurant. There was an hour wait for the food and the fries came out only hot on the outside and cold on the inside and over salted. There was penalty of staff around but it couldn’t not get their attention, no one checked on the food etc. Overall, my experience was underwhelming and disappointing as I heard good things about this restaurant.
