What a disappointment, we have been having lunch in the beer garden of the Imperial for some 10 years and enjoyed the refreshing menu. Sunday was our first visit since the beer garden renovation and the food and service was probably the worst pub lunch we have had. The new menu was uninspiring with limited choices. The Battered Reef Fish was mostly batter, crisp on the outside and uncooked inside with an unrecognisable and inedible portion of fish, worst than that the waitress split the fish onto my wife's lap and just put it back on the plate and there was no salad just a few badly cooked chips. I had a Steak Sandwich which had a small piece of very overcooked beef, that looked like a piece of leather, the toasted bread was pan fried and very hard, the other filling was paper thin and nearly unrecognisable slice of cheese, thin slice of tomato and a small piece of lettuce. Whilst the renovation was good, we were stuck behind the band whilst a row of five tables with reservation signs were empty for the afternoon we were there, it's obvious that no one really cares about the food, service or the customers.
