"It was a very convenient location for us for a pre performance dinner at 5:30 on our way to the Middle Temple Hall. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were the only diners in the place for our first half hour and they accommodated our preference to have the Muzak played more quietly a rare treat in this noisy world. The food was good, the portions plentiful. My only small complaint was that the broccoli side portion arrived pretty cold and without the garlic it was advertised as having. But it still complimented my spaghetti carbonara, which was a true Italian dish."

"Attended a corporate lunch in the small private dining area to the rear of the Diciannove restaurant on the ground floor. Lunch items had to be pre-selected from a short menu which is understandable to assist the kitchen and avoid lengthy delays. For the starter,...I chose Pasta with crab 6 supplement) which arrived as a congealed mess of very thin spaghetti and slightly off-tasting white crab meat surely this was not fresh? Main course was Rib-eye steak 6 supplement) with chips and my request for medium rare had been ignored! Too difficult to make a fuss as a guest and send it back but that was my inclination. I declined any dessert as my appetite had disappeared at this very ordinary establishment. One further problem is that the restaurant has no immediate toilet facilities. These are located on the Lower Ground Floor and is some distance away. Not rushing back to this one. Definitely below par for an IHG hotel."
