   Meat was plentiful, came round regularly with a wide selection. Salad bar is always amazing. Seems to have jumped up on price but can’t fault anything about the place

   Here’s a review based on your experience: ⸻ Restaurant Review I recently visited Estabulo Doncaster with my girlfriend for her birthday meal, and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. We had planned a special evening, even booking the day off work and arranging an overnight stay to make the most of it. However, from the moment we arrived—an hour before their final booking slot—it was clear that we were an afterthought. Despite arriving well within their service hours, we were the last to be seated and immediately felt rushed. The meat was brought out in quick succession with barely any time to enjoy each serving, making what should have been a relaxed dining experience feel more like a race. To make matters worse, the salad bar, which was meant to accompany our meal, was closed midway through our dinner—before the restaurant had even officially closed. We had also ordered cocktails, hoping to enjoy a celebratory drink, only to find that they tasted off. When we asked about it, the staff admitted they had run out of ingredients but had still served the drinks without informing us. We were only told the truth after questioning them, with the excuse that it was the end of the week and they were waiting on deliveries. The final disappointment came as we watched staff members leaving for the night around us, reinforcing the feeling that we were being hurried out. Rather than a special birthday meal, the whole evening felt rushed and poorly managed. Given the reputation of the restaurant, we had expected much better service and attention to detail. Overall, this experience fell short of expectations, and I would hesitate to return unless significant improvements are made in how they handle their late-evening guests.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your special evening did not meet your expectations. A birthday celebration should be a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and we regret that you felt rushed and that certain aspects of the service fell short. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the salad bar closing early, the rushed pacing of your meal, and the cocktails being served without full disclosure. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we will be addressing these concerns with our team to ensure improvements are made.

   My partner's first time here and he loved it just as much as I do. Excellent service great choice the salad bar is delicious and the meats are tasty juicy and extremely moorish Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

    I'm sorry but although I have enjoyed my experience and taken friends with me on many occasions it's now far too expensive. £43 for a meal along with £27 for a bottle of house wine is too much. Such a shame as it is local to me aswell.
