| In view of the past reviews here of this establishment I was filled with trepidation at being invited here for a birthday lunch yesterday (Sunday). However all of my fears were put to rest. Although the first pint of Adnams that I ordered was towards the end of the barrel it was readily changed with an apology and replacement with the barman making sure that the glass was suitably cool. Henceforth my wife and I were looked after with two excellent value bottles of bordeaux with the meal. Furthermore I could not fault the meal despite my concern at the large number in our birthday party and in consequence the cooking of the beef to our preference of medium rare. To our delight the beef was properly served medium rare (not medium and not rare) and my starter of pea and mint soup was one of the best that I have had. Although not on the menu my wife and I finished our meal with Afrogato which was served without any fuss. The food, drink, hospitality and service for such a large party was commendable. My wife and I will definitely return as will I am sure most of our party. The prices, although not cheap, are very reasonable for the quality of fare. zeitlin - 14 Apr 2008 20:17 |
| Too pretentious for its own good. Myself and a freind were chucked off a table as we were only drinking beer and not eating, despite other tables in the "pub" being free. Someone needs to remind them what the concept of a pub is all about - drinking! jonnyboy122 - 24 Nov 2007 14:34 |
| Booked a table for 4 tonight. Arrived to an empty dining area (it is Monday night after all) and requested if we could have a different table, nearer the window and away from the bar. Was told my an eastern European waitress that it was not possible and she then continued to argue with us! There was at least 8 tables free! Her behavior defied logic and was amongst the worst I have seen in London for a fair while. Avoid this place if you have the choice. It doesn't strike me as a gastro pub anyway and you'd probably find a better atmosphere at your local conservatives club. My wife did also point out that the place smelt like urine too. AVOID.(I am giving it a score of 1 for the name though) anonymous - 8 Oct 2007 21:19 |
| I am a regular at this pub from the day it was re-opened, and i think it is a lovely place with very personal service. The French waiter in question is charming in a continental kind of way. Whoever says he's rude obviously has never been to Paris!! The food is good 9 out of 10 times, and the blond barman is cute...although he is a bit blonder now than he's used to be. I want to praise the management of this establishment for doing a great job! Sashulya - 18 Sep 2007 13:48 |
| Like other reviewers the worst feature of this so-called gastro pub is the appalling rudeness of the French waiter and the fact that half the tapas menu doesn't exist in reality. Pleasant barman tried hard to compensate for the arsehole in a pinny. Having been told that our first three choices were not available, a spinach dish that should have been at least warm had obviously just been dolloped on the plate straight from the fridge and was foul. The lamb kebab amounted to two miniscule balls of mashed meat (possibly dog but it was impossible to tell)and the two miserable tiger prawns were still frozen in the middle. Just don't bother going there - it is awful. regularguy - 12 Sep 2007 18:31 |
