Gordon's Wine Bar, Charing Cross

I'm afraid I can speak from personal experience that davidwin is correct about the manager.
Never had an issue with the bar staff though. If indeed they may look grubby and French there's nothing wrong with that - it's part of, and adds to, the character of this place.

I like the bar a lot but the manager thinks far too highly of himself and can get quite derogatory if he feels you're not quite spending enough (really!). In one case some friends of mine were delayed en route so there was (shocker) *only one* open bottle of wine on our table.

I think this kind of behaviour is taking the french theme a bit too far!

Doesn't stop me coming back or recommending the place but certainly takes the shine off, which is a shame.
