i have been visiting this restaurant for dinner and brunch since they opened and have also noticed the standard of quality decline steadily whilst the price has increased.at first, i went to Press Room for the burger and the lamb sandwich. that was what kept me going back. sadly, they have now abandoned the lamb sandwich. the quality of the burger remains unchanged and is one of the best burgers around.my biggest complaint is about the steak & eggs. it is just that: 2 eggs and one small piec
at first, i went to Press Room for the burger and the lamb sandwich. that was what kept me going back. sadly, they have now abandoned the lamb sandwich. the quality of the burger remains unchanged and is one of the best burgers around.
my biggest complaint is about the steak & eggs. it is just that: 2 eggs and one small piece of steak. no fries, no potatoes, no toast, no nothing. for this they charged $85. if you want toast, you can order a side order of toast for $30. for your $30, you get 1 piece of bread cut in half giving you "2 pieces" of toast. i didn't mind initially because the steak was quite tasty.
fast forward to current times... the steak and egg now costs $105. while the price has increased, the size of the steak has shrunk by about 1/3. i know that inflation has driven up food costs, but let's be fair here.
onto other dishes... a relatively new menu item is the corned beef hash. don't even think about ordering it. it comes in a pile resembling canned dog food and the taste is about the same.
steak tartare, again, don't even go there. while i understand that it is raw beef, i have never had steak tartar which was sitting in a small pool of blood. on top of that, all of the ingredients came on the side of the plate. it was a DIY steak tartare. for the price Press Room charges, i expected more than a steak tartare DIY kit.
other notes... as mentioned by other reviewers, the service is horrible. it takes ages to get something as simple as a glass of water. every time i order something, i wonder if the server will get it right.
for the price point that Press Room targets, the quality of food and service fall far short of the target. some of the dishes are good, but they are not worth the price charged.
