"We were stuck on where to go for a decent Lunch and had not ventured through the hallowed doors of the Savoy since its refurbishment, and would I pass the old fashioned dress code? Jacket and Tie,Sir We certainly weren 't turned away in smart trousers and shirt and a table was quickly found when the receptionist found we had not reserved.. On the plus side the refurbished room was bright, and not over bearing. Tables for once were nicely spaced and laid with minimal clutter and initial drinks service was quick..then it all went down hill. Bread arrived warm and fresh but no butter!! we asked and then got Salted butter do you have unsalted butter? Sure a further wait..eventually a lump of butter arrived and we were told so sorry for the delay, we had to send somebody to the shop to get it ...any chance of some fresh warm bread that will be another 10 mins, Sir . Starters came and went, not very inspiring and maybe they had gone out to buy the smoked salmon form the local shop aswell. Main courses were only a little better, plates were cold and the actually dishes just warm. Service seemed a little chaotic, and we were expecting our mian dishes to be announced (our staters were) but they were literally plonked on the table. Can I have some mustard? sure they must of found there was no mustard in the local shop, because the mustard never arrived. The wine list is impressive and there are plenty of reasonable priced wines, we picked a beautiful Sancerre that didn 't break the bank. Although request a wine bucket on the table otherwise you will remain thirsty!! We took coffee in the grand lounge which was the best part of the lunch. Although inexpensive, we will certainly be having lunch elsewhere next time."
