Deckhouse Woolwich

Came here for a Sunday lunch with a visitor from overseas on a recommendation and didn't look at the Yelp reviews first. Ba-bow... The other folks have pretty much covered it off. Food was average but very overpriced, service was very slow and hard to catch anybody's attention, and the noise level was astonishing for such a big venue.

Corn cobbs were fridge cold and the pasta was searing hot and burnt my tongue. The cheese sauce was split and the scampi was overcooked on the papadelle. My friend's steak was cooked well though. View is nice but the food really is below average. At least they took the corn off the bill.

Servings of the pappardelle blue swimmer crab pasta (main size) was ridiculously stingy, and not much of a standout (dill, creme fraiche sauce). Pasta was very nice though. Grilled snapper fillet with sundried tomato pesto crust tomato basil tea: the fillet wasn't seasoned well and the accompanying sauce tasted more like a soup. Had the dessert tasting platter and there was nothing worth specifically commenting on there. Overall quite bland and average dishes and no standouts anywhere. The only great thing about the place is a really open place in a beautiful building that's right by the water overlooking cockatoo island, so makes for an awesome weekend brunch location with loved ones.

Would normally rate this higher but they were a little bit off last time we went for breakfast. The service was not attentive and forgot some items and the breakfast came out a bit cold. Food still tasted pretty good. Great location.

Decidedly ordinary. Had the lamb which wasn't bad but certainly did not meet expectations for a restaurant of that calibre. Beer selection rubbish. Given a crooked table in the middle of the room when ones near the windows were empty. Different waiter every time, no consistent service. Did not stay for dessert!
