| Great atmosphere and food downstairs in the bar, but don't bother with the dining room upstairs. The staff are so unhelpful and have no concept of what 'customer care' means. We booked a table for a family celebration but found the dining room menu really limited - 2 members out of our party of 7 couldn't find anything that they wanted to eat (eg. no vegetarian options at all but was told the chef could 'rustle something up'!)and so we asked for a couple of dishes from the bar menu downstairs. The waiter said no, despite the fact that the dining room was empty - we were the only people there. In the end we left and went to The Automat which is very nearby and we had a great meal there in a fantastic atmosphere. Howard1 - 5 Jun 2008 10:37 |
| Never really seen anyone eating in here, effectively half the space is wasted with the "dining area" which if you sit down when not eating (bear in mind it's a small pub and gets crowded) staff get v.stroppy about. Agree it's a pub with an identity crisis, so many good eating options in the area, it should just focus on being a pub. mps77 - 8 May 2008 17:03 |
| This is pub is just around the corner from my office and so frequent it regularly with colleagues purely as a matter of convenience. It has been recently refurbed and seems to not know whether it is a pub or a restaurant. Half the very small floor space in the small pub area is taken up with tables covered in white table clothes. If I want that I will go to one of the dozens of fine dining restaurants in Mayfair. Never have I been to a pub which has less impressive staff. They are seeming led by a South African gent who feels that dancing, singing and socialising behind the bar should take priority over serving customers and a woman who seems to be the maitre d’ (is this needed in a pub). The other night I was at the bar along with about 10 other customers waiting to be served and the maitre d’ lounged at the end of the bar talking to other staff while the bar tender joked and chatted with another member of staff who was standing polishing glasses while the customers had to wait. There is just no urgency or customer focus. I would strongly urge that no one ever go out of their way to visit this poor excuse for a pub. You will get better service from the worst of the Weatherspoons chain!!! Caper - 5 Feb 2008 10:25 |
| Appalling, (and expensive) beer. Awful service. Undercooked (but still expensive) food. A khazi. dan76uk - 21 Dec 2007 10:33 |
