We've wanted to go to The Flagstaff House for years, finally did, and were very disappointed.
The view from the restaurant? Absolutely beautiful! By far the best part of our experience.
The food? Surprisingly, just average. With Flagstaff House's reputation and prices, we expected the food to be spectacular. The pre-appetizer appetizers were awful, the soup sampler was not good, and the main dishes nothing notable. The ahi tuna appetizer was very good and the specialty dessert of the night, Coconut Souffle, was delicious.
The service? Very slow. Very, very slow. 30 minutes to get a cup of coffee. We asked twice before bread was brought to our table.
Again, at the prices charged, we expected the service to be beyond reproach.
We're glad we went because now we can mark Flagstaff House off of our "Places to Try" list. Been there, done that, won't do it again.
