About

The Downfield offers a mixed bag for locals. While many praise the curries and steaks as a great bang for the buck, others are put off by cleanliness issues and hit-or-miss service. It is a popular spot for large groups, but the atmosphere can feel a bit tired. When the kitchen is on point, it is a solid local spot, but consistency remains a challenge.
