Went to Lars this evening after not having been for some time. I may be wrong but it appears to have new managers or owners in place. Change has not been for the better. First, I couldn't order from the breakfast menu as I had in the past. If you’re offering a mixed grill and similar food, why can't you offer the breakfast of bacon, eggs sausage, etc? Then they brought the wrong drink for my wife, I think Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut is clearly different from Sparkling Shiraz.

This was rectified but I told the waiting staff we wouldn't be staying for a meal as I couldn't order the breakfast. Within less than a minute breakfast was available. My wife ordered the Moroccan beef which she enjoyed. My breakfast arrived sans the fruit juice that forms part of the meal, the tomato was stone cold, the bread wasn't toasted (and wasn't Turkish as stated), the mushrooms had been micro waved and the Kransky was mushy and undercooked.

I went to settle the bill and politely report the issues to which I received a 'Sorry' and nothing else, complimentary coffee would have seemed reasonable. I produced my eDine hospitality card and did not receive the promised discount. Our total bill was $48 and I was charged $43.90 instead of $38.40. I questioned this and was told it was correct. I said I won’t be back and I won’t.

Disappointing after a three or four year association on a regular basis. I would also observe that the number of patrons was considerably less than I remember and the service was slow considering the ratio of staff to diners.
