    Have been coming to Gee’s for 30 years; this was the worst food and the worst service we have ever experienced. Soggy zucchini frites, tasteless pasta, indifferent aubergine parmigiana and all very slow.
    GeesResponded on November 1, 2024
    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Although, I am quite shocked to receive such feedback, as we pride ourselves on delivering food and service to a much higher standard than what it seems you have received. I would really appreciate it if you were able to get in touch with us so that we can better understand what happened and hopefully make remediations. -Peter, Restaurant Manager - info@geesrestaurant.co.uk

    The setting is lovely but they are very understaffed. As a result the experience doesn’t match the price you pay nor the service charge on higher priced good with not commensurate service due to the poor waiters having to attend to too many tables.
    GeesResponded on October 29, 2024

    Overall very enjoyable. Service was less attentive than usual and were rather rushed so we had to keep calling/ reminding the service staff about items we wanted. On the whole the food very good. Restaurant crowded and noisy however it was a Saturday evening!
