Damon's

Not as great as normal, I think some of the regular staff may have already left and been replaced with temp staff until it closes. Tables weren't as clean as normal, small things were missing... No salt shaker on the table, no finger bowl for the ribs, no finger wipes available, 4 chicken tenders instead of the 5 on the menu with the meal,etc. I was also accidentally sprayed with table cleaner in the middle of my meal when a table near us was being cleaned, which has never happened before. We went for a last meal before it closes, and while it was still good, the little things add up to a just slightly off experience. Damon's has always been expensive for what you get, which was noticeable this time due to the slightly lower standards. It's a shame it's closing, based on years of past visits, but if based purely on this visit i'd be less upset it was going away.

Lovely restaurant, good menu choice of both food and drinks, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The table placements were a bit unusual and we had to request a move in order to enable our large party to converse with each other. Staff were however happy to accommodate this request and we enjoyed the rest of our visit. The deserts are lovely so definitely give them a try. Very friendly staff.

We went as you get a free main and dessert and your birthday. Brilliant deal and Damons are excellent at the food they do. The restaurant has an old Hollywood feel, with plenty of pictures of the stars around the wall. We both had ribs and they were gorgeous. Very courteous and happy to help. Will definitely revisit.

Very good evening and good food if a little pricey! Had lobster (tail) and chicken (breast) which sat on a bed of rice which was not good as I cannot abide rice! The menu didn't state rice so was rather put off by the fact. The chicken was lovely as was the lobster tail. There was far too much salt used whilst I am aware that meals need seasoning at least leave room for the customer to add their own! The beer is expensive! Two pints of John Smith's was over £8. The atmosphere is good but very noisy. Individual private booths would have been good. The staff are overworked and could only manage forced smiles and a "for goodness sake make your mind up" attitude which was a shame. Hopefully the tip we left cheered her up! Overall a good experience but only as a rare treat.
