We dined at Dux Dine years ago, but then things started sliding downhill. Our last visit a year ago was so-so, but we thought we'd give them one last try in the hopes things had come back up to standard. Unfortunately no...
On arrival, both...the water glasses at our table still had lip-stick stains on the rim ,,which put us off having a drink. Upon telling the waitress, she replaced them but didn't seem surprised.
Then to make our order it took a few trips back & forth to the kitchen for the waitress, as she didn't know what the specials of the day were, or what the fish of the day was... I was first told it was Kingfish, so was very pleased to order that, being my favourite. But alas, she came back to tell me they still had one groper left in the kitchen that had to be eaten first before they could use the fresh Kingfish. Well,,, groper being my 2nd favourite, I ordered it. It did smell & taste fishy and I wish I didn't know that the fresh kingfish was an option!!
My partner ordered the fish and chips which was mostly greasy, oily batter. Had better in a fish & chip shop!
Most of the entrees are just deep-fried nibbles with a squirt of aioli or mayo, like bar snacks but double the price.
We asked to look at the dessert menu, but it was exactly the same as it was years ago, except now the little cardboard card it's printed on, is sticky to touch & covered with food, spilt drinks & dirty handprints ...We went elsewhere for dessert!
The decor it seems is getting as dated as the menu ...what a shame this place used to be the go-to place!
Maybe it changed hands, or maybe the owner is just over it?!More
