Jimmy's Bar/Restaurant - DAYLESFORD

This restaurant has been reviewed since my visit as some time and had a catastrophic situation occur after I complained about flat headfilets, plural and a small piece appeared. our food was taken away from our eyes and said they were sick. of customers who complain. of course, after reading the last reviews nothing has changed. I'd hang my head in a canopy and get out of the restaurant business if that was my facility. I notice that the answer to the management does not take responsibility for bad experiences, which is a flash on the restaurant scene in dayelsford

We visited this restaurant because it is often the only place where they can get in and they seem happy enough to have employees. the staff is friendly, but you know about eating is limited. we have always found the service. very fast (at a week night). but it is very pricy for what it is. the seafood linguini has a very large amount of seafood and more like the traditional primo serve as a main. ditto the ravioli. on the current menu there is a particularly strange concoction consisting of a small piece of baked salmon swimming in a tasteless green creamy sauce with pure spinach and lumpy pieces of fried lynx. not sure what the cook thought, but it didn't work. the addition of something lemon juice could have helped. price for two persons; only, two glasses of wine and a bottle of red $175.

Had dinner and breakfast there. Wish we hadn’t. It’s obviously not cooked to order as mine was cold. They had to take it away and redo. Tasted of raw spices, not cooked properly. Pizzas came out in 5 mins. Atmosphere terrible. like a cafeteria....We had to use the breakfast room.

After a tough two years of Covid we are really supportive of regional hospitality venues. We can understand that there are challenges. But this cafe/pizzeria/restaurant doesn’t actually even know what it is. In the evening it is not a cafe, it is not a pizzeria...for 4 lane pizzas on the menu and as a restaurant it is a failure. The ambience on entry says it all. Bad decor, bad table placement, bad lighting. There is a reason it was empty on a busy Easter night. The menu is limited and lacks any imagination or finesse. The food was passable with some dishes better than others. Particular stand outs for being awful was the battered calamari and the chicken breast and the steak. The drinks were good and the service was good with a hard working maître’d. But nothing can save this place and it’s a crying shame given the hospitality pedigree of the owners and the prime location. Don’t eat here. Don’t waste your time or money, it’s not cheap either. I should have stayed at our rental and had a BBQ, the food would have been superior and the ambience way better.

Visited for lunch, staff were disinterested unfriendly. Worse were the several flies in the dining area and unclean table. Food was alright though won’t be returning.
