"I was really excited to have a seafood meal in London's theater district, so I decided to ignore the negative reviews on Open Table and focus on the positive ones on Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, my experience at the restaurant was a letdown and quite expensive. Despite having to wait a bit at the bar because our outdoor table wasn't ready, the alley table we were seated at was charming. I didn't mind too much when the bottle of wine arrived before the cocktail we ordered, as it was a minor issue. However, I was incredibly disappointed to have been at the restaurant for 90 minutes with only some oysters and one starter being brought to the table. The staff mostly ignored us on a slow Monday night, even though we were there for dinner. We would have been satisfied with just oysters and wine after a show, but we were hungry and left waiting for our dishes, which took a long time to arrive. In fact, the diners who came in after us for post-theater meals had finished eating before we even received our food. Perhaps it was an off night for the kitchen, but considering the high bill we received, I expected a more timely delivery of our dishes without having to repeatedly ask for them. Additionally, the fries/chips we ordered arrived cold. I wish I could say that we had a fantastic seafood meal in London, but the truth is that we only enjoyed the oysters and wine, while the rest of the meal was disappointing for the price we paid. There are much better places in London where you can spend your money."

"Starter was bland and tasteless.Absolutely no flavour for smoked salmon patè at all. Toast was cremated. I 'm puzzled why the kitchen or the waitress presenting the food felt it was acceptable to serve it. Had to ask for an edible replacement when a member of staff passed by.. eventually.. as no-one asked if things were ok. It 's not like they were busy as in the hour and a half we were there no other guests were present. Main was ok. Asked for a medium glass of wine they sent and charged a large glass. When we asked for the bill we had been charged for an adult meal for what we thought would be a child 's meal. When we queried the bill we were told we should have asked for a children 's roast, although that was actually offered on the menu and the fact that one guest was an 8 year old I didn 't realise it was necessary to state the obvious, which the lady pointed out.. that apparently we should have specified. We were made to feel uncomfortable and awkward and were obviously the topic of conversation with the staff that could be overheard from the kitchen. It was handled very badly. As a result they deducted a glass of wine and waived the optional service charge which for poor service we had already declined to pay. Too little too late I 'm afraid. If the issues had been dealt with in a polite or amenable manner in the first place we would have maybe reconsidered but the attitude was far from professional and infact unnecessary. Decor was nice but that was about it! Definitely will not be returning or recommending! Prefer the smugglers personally which is practically next door!"
