"We selected this restaurant for a pre-theater dinner and were, unfortunately, disappointed overall in our experience. The restaurant is much smaller than we had anticipated and when we arrived, the person who spoke to us manager, owner? asked for our name when I told him we had a reservation. Then he said who? as if we didn 't have a reservation made months earlier . That made our arrival at the restaurant a bit uncomfortable. After a bit, we were shown to a table in a noisy corner of the place. Meanwhile, the man who greeted ? us looked at the woman who would be waiting on our table in a way that felt to us like he had no idea who we were but needed to seat us, nonetheless. It was an apologetic look and it was noted. It took her quite some time to come and get our drink order which we all noticed. It seemed like once she realized that we were all ordering adult beverages, her attitude changed a bit as she realized that she could get a large tip for service which she, in fact, did . Once we started eating the food which took a long time to get to the table, we were happy with the dinners we had ordered. The food was really good, no complaints there. It was the service that was disappointing. So, if you don 't mind not being treated nicely in a restaurant where you 'll be dropping 2 or 3 hundred pounds sterling, and you 're only and all about the food, this place is for you. I left thinking the following : food that isn 't as good as the food we had here tastes better when the service is warm and welcoming. Overall, disappointed. Les Mis was awesome, though!"

"champagne religious is essentially a champagne, cheese and charcuterie lover dream. it is a recipe for success, accompanied by a light and airy soundtrack of piano music. the small jewel of a restaurant is located directly on the corner of the greenwich market and over the road from the cutty sark; this little gem of a restaurant is a perfect place for friends to come together or enjoy the cozy atmosphere at the night. Once through the door they can experiment, enjoy and pamper their cheese and sausage passions to excess. the central premise here is why champagne works so well with cheese? if they don't already know, they will soon be of the well-known fact that champagne is a pleasant compliment for all cheeses. champagne fromage tantalizes the taste buds by showing that champagne is light enough to tenderly deep cuts not to exaggerate, but also enough sweetened once inside; decadent, but affordable they leave the delicate porcelain panels filled with wood charcoal and cheese transport them into a world of wonder. wood panels show the cheese and wood charcoal selection artistically accompanied by grapes, dried apricoses and even jams, all serving to highlight the deep and the variety of cheeses. our cheese board consisted of hard, blue, goat, soft and creamy and washed raw cheese from the loire Valley to the Alsace. In addition to a variety of corsican and lyon cured meats, salami, alpenseucissons, tapnaden and light airy brot. the champagne tasting flight allows them to improve the taste of the cheese in front of a bubbly background. we tried three different styles of champagne including colin, michael furdyna and Pretois-Moriset (pink.) each is very drinkable alone, but a success with the specific cheese. the desserts must be mentioned; I tried the five little macaroons. as a big fan of these joyful they were one for me and I was not disappointed. Among the aromen include chocolate, celestial, lemon, pistachios and vanilla. Sure to say, it is hard to choose a favorite if such a care is taken to despise everyone. of additional interest for those who fall in love with the inviting world of champagne fromage is le shop. their individually produced cheese and champagne are available for them to take home and give them the opportunity to enjoy the joys of champagne celebration at any time of day!"
