We have visited 4 times since introduction of their new menu and Iâm not happy to report that the consistency and standards have dropped somewhat. Iâm confused as to why they would remove popular items to make room for unenticing things. Some changes mystify me like removal of crab cakes from their menu! We used to love their crab cakes and would go there just to have them. But it is certainly not because they no longer stock crab meat, as they still offer crab wantons! How bizarre! We also loved their fried onion bloom with various dipping sauces and that has gone too. Such a simple and quick-preparation item, and poofâ¦disappeared from the menu! Also, there are long-preparation items on the menu now like the two sushi rolls, but it is often not available as perhaps only certain chefs on duty can prep those special items. And when they do have it, youâve got to really love it bad to wait for it as it takes at least 45 minutes to prepare! Iâm confused as to why they would remove simple-prep offerings and add items that require more time and effort to prepare? It just doesnât make any sense to me. I still love the staff and would love to continue giving them my support but as my husband would sayâ¦.âwhy change something that doesnât need changing?â There used to be a nice football vibe in Trotters on a Saturday and on this occasion, we walked in with no game on the main screen (yes, believe it or not!) and whilst they were willing to put on what we wanted to see in our dining area, there was zero volume. Gone is the upbeat music too so the place just seems dead and of now lacks the vibrant atmosphere. I would honestly say that Iâm a fan of the old Trotters. Bring back the old Trotters please!

This place is amazing. Wonderful location with parking if you have a car and wonderful food. Very professional attentive waiters, best we have come across in Trinidad and Tobago and quick and efficient service. Beautiful interiors again best we have come across.Delicious food so much so we had 2 lunches at the pub bar downstairs. Quite reasonable priced too given the quality. If youâre lucky Jenny herself might wander over to say hi and sheâs an amazing hostess. Highly recommended.

The service here was excellent. I had the shrimp and fries for $60 and the friend had the shark burger and fries for $40, with a coconut water and orange juice. We also had the barbadien ice-cream which was also really good. Their food selections are wide ranging, from curry to steak.Definitely recommend.
