"I don’t ever write reviews, however our experience was so terrible I felt like this message needed to be shared. We made a booking for 10 people, but when we arrived we were told to that we can stand at a table for 3 people while we wait for seats to open. I asked “what’s the point in making a booking, if you don’t get a table?” And the barman said that we reserve an area to stand. ? I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to doing this. My friends and I resigned to getting a drink then searching for another place. We stood at the front of the bar for 20 min before anyone could take our order. When we eventually got someone’s attention, it took a further 45min for us to received our 4 cocktails. Furthermore, when we said we wanted to have a table so that we could eat, we were bluntly told that they don’t serve food. Why have a menu on your website then? We were not the only poor souls who made the mistake of walking into this establishment on this night. As we were standing by the staircase, we heard many people come in and explain that they have a booking, just to be told the same thing as us. The bar was quickly filling up and and considering how long our service took, I’m glad that we left when we did Worst experience ever. I would love for this message to be sent far and wide, to warn others not to make the same mistake we did."

"Been trying to get a booking here since our reservation in December was cancelled due to COVID and quite frankly we were utterly disappointed. Front of house werent very friendly. The ambience was nice very chic and lively however music volume was so loud so quite hard to hold a conversation. The waiter we had was outrageously rude. He put his hand up to me to slow down my ordering which I was going at at the pace of a snail anyway! It took 10minutes to order because apparently the system was slow and I had to repeat myself several times. We couldn't decide on garlic sauce or peppercorn and we were told abruptly and rudely which one is it guys . He also was speaking to the table behind us while taking our order and didn't apologise. He just overall had a slight attitude. Starter turned up before our drinks! Calamari batter was underseasoned but sauces and squid itself were nice. Steaks turned up and mine looked anaemic (no griddle lines looked almost poached) but somehow it was overcooked as I asked for medium rare but a medium steak turned up. My partner asked for medium well and his was pink! Again steaks were underseasoned. My chips were warmish but not piping hot. Steak knives were only brought over once the steaks were already present on the table. The loo had no loo roll I went in to 3 cubicles and absolutely nothing. Our reservation was for 2 hrs and we were out of there in an hour. Honestly I can't articulate how disappointed we were with the meal. The bill came to almost 200£ and I could get better service and delicious food at a high street restaurant for a 1/4 of the price. Clearly a place that focuses on ambience as opposed to quality of food. May give the Strand outlet one last chance but I will be sticking with Gaucho or Hawksmoor in the future."

"This as far from a five star hotel as you can get in this area. And they don 't care. While not staying there, after a day walking around central London, I was tempted by their street signage advertising drinks and shisha on their rooftop Soho Sky Terrace, on the 6th floor. There was only 1 other table of 4 people when I walked in. Two staff seated behind bar. No welcome from them, both on their phones. They were casually dressed in jeans and hoodies. I walked up and ordered a glass of wine (they only had a selection of 2) and a shisha. Pleasant setting with rooftops view but old and run down seating. Dirty table.. I asked them to clean it. Wine was served in a plastic glass and was definitely off. I requested a fresh one which took 10 minutes as he had to go away to get a new bottle. There were 3 outdoor heaters and it was a cold evening, so I asked if they could switch one on. He replied no..we 're out of gas . I said what, on all 3? He shrugged and said yeah..that 's why the other table left . My work colleagues were going to join me..I said don 't bother, we 'll go elsewhere . The bill was £66.50. £16.50 for a glass of very average wine and £50.00 for poor shisha. My mistake for not checking prices before I ordered but totally overpriced for the area (which I am very familiar with). No wonder they had no one one there at 7pm on a Thursday evening."
