“I am writing this review as a favour to anyone considering this restaurant for a nice evening out: don't go!
I have been to many restaurants in and around London and this is easily the worst service I have ever come across. Not only were the waiters (and what seemed to be the manager or assistant manager) rude, abrupt and dismissive, they also pressured us to leave the restaurant by hovering and keeping an eye on us throughout the entire meal. This was not to see if we needed anything, but to get us to get on with it. When the bill came three cover charges AND a 12,5% service charge were automatically included in the bill - laughable considering what they put us through!!!
Now for the food: it was fine, overpriced in truth but my grilled mackerel was very fresh and nicely cooked. My friends cod pasta dish wasn't much to write home about and had an overdose of onions in it; my other friend had some very tasty spicy lamb patties. The problem is though, one begrudges spending any amount of money when treated so badly. If it hadn't been for my friends I would have walked out after about 3 minutes - and I'm quite a tolerant person normally, honest!
Conclusion: I will never set foot in there - or any other part of the chain - again.
