  So disappointing
  
  We had been looking forward to our meal at Prossers after having it recommended to us by several locals.
  
  On balance it wasn't the great night we had expected. Service seemed very rushed, and a little disinterested at times.
  
  We were well greeted on arrival, and had both our first drinks order and entree order taken very quickly (perhaps a little too quickly)
  
  We had only had a sip of champagne when the entrees arrived. No time to savour the champers or the view.
  
  Entrees were mixed. The Coles Bay Calamari was perfectly lightly fried, tasted superb and nicely presented. It had all the flavours described and was very enjoyable - a real treat
  
  As mussels were off the menu (no fault of the restaurant), the other entree ordered was a seafood chowder. Whilst the broth was tasty enough, there was very little seafood and what was there was so small it was barely noticeable. We had expected more and this dish was disappointing.
  
  For mains, we ordered the Mixed Grill of Fresh Fish and the Blue Eye with a Scallop and Prawn Mousse Baked in French Butter
  Puff Pastry. Alas - they both arrived far too soon - almost immediately after the entree.
  
  The grilled fish was fresh enough, but was sadly overcooked. It didn't fall apart as expected and was accompanied by a feeble salad (yellowing iceberg lettuce instead of the rocket described and not much else). We had better salads in most pubs we visited.
  
  The Blue Eye in puff pastry was a lovely dish (and plentiful), but the accompanying broccoli and beans were so overdone they hung limply over the side of the bowl. Awful! - they were left uneaten.
  
  The whole experience was rushed and the staff seemed keen to have us moving along so they could get home. It seemed they were living on past glories and were no longer willing to put in the effort. Incredibly we left less than an hour after arriving - far too quickly for a reputable restaurant on a quiet Thursday night.
  
  We won't be back and I suggest others look elsewhere.

  Lived here over 12 months before I realised Prosser's was an active restaurant! Had a delightful lunch and even on a wet and blustery day, the atmostphere was good and the view still wonderful.
