"Fawlty-towers-esque is the only way to describe our experience!! We were there for a business dinner, there were 8 of us. We arrived shortly after 6pm, sat down, and ordered some wine and food from the set menu (they mandated that everybody order from the set menu, or nobody could order from the set menu). After a short while, the person tending to our table began to approach the guests, one by one, in the most unusual fashion. His tactic was to lean in between the guests putting his forearm on the table. This was mildly comical. Each time he was informing the guest that their first choice for starter/main was not available. In some cases he told the guests what he would be replacing the dish with, and in some cases he asked for their opinion. This happened repeatedly over the course of 30-45 minutes. Almost an hour and a half later, still no food. We complained and waited a little longer, until it became obvious that no food would be arriving. We spoke to the manager one final time and he informed us that they the situation was due to an unfortunate event. Somewhat sympathetically I asked what the unfortunate event was, maybe the chef had been taken ill, or had a family emergency. Nope, the reason the manager gave was that they had a busy lunch service!!! At that point the manager offered us the opportunity to leave the restaurant, and gave us the wine we had drank for free (hence the high score for value). So off we went to Haz on Bishopsgate where they accommodated us, fed us, and we had a great time."

"이 리뷰는 한국어와 영어로 쓰였습니다. This reciew is written in both Korean and English. 포트넘 앰 메이슨 차를 사려고 방문한 곳인데 피카딜리쪽보다 확실히 사람도 적고 조용한 분위기라 편하게 쇼핑할 수 있어요. 그리고 정말 정말 직원분이 친절함!!! 부담가지도 않으면서도 자세히 설명해주고 잘 응대해주셔서 쇼핑하는 내내 매우 기분이 좋았습니다 이름을 못 물어봐서 어떤 직원분인진 모르겠지만 ㅠ 지금까지 돌아다닌 유명한 기념품 쇼핑 플레이스 중에서 그 분 응대가 제일 좋았습니다. 피카딜리쪽보다는 아무래도 관광객이 덜 와서 그런 것 같긴 해요. 차 종류는 제 기억으로는 따로 패키지에 골라서 파는 것 말고 일반 틴케이스로 파는 건 다 있습니다. 특별한 건 여기에서만 파는 royal exchange blend가 있는데 전 royal blend보다 더 맘에 들어서 그걸로 삼 ㅎㅎ 그리고 이 매장이 포트넘 앤 메이슨 매장 중에 가장 최근에 생긴 지점이라네요. 깨끗한 곳에서 비교적 차분하게 쇼핑하실 분은 추천드립니다! I went this place to buy Fortnum Mason tea for presents and this place is definitely better place to buy teas than the one in piccadilly. The staffs here are super friendly which made the whole shopping experience extremly satisfying. It is much less crowded than the piccadilly store so you can take your time. If you are not up to buy the Rare teas which are only offered in individual packaging, you would be able to find everything you want. Also you can buy in individual packaging for normal teas if you want to. It has a special blend named Royal Exchange Blend only sold in this store. I prefer this one to the original royal blend. This store is the latest built one among the Fortnum Masons so it is super clean. I highly recommend this place!!!"

"Babessss let me tell you this restaurant gives you the best food. It is absolutely delicious and it's not your ordinary recipes. It is like Michelin style dishes like they actually put effort in pairing things together according to their taste and texture. Anchovies: we were expecting just a few pieces like other restaurants but nope. It's an entire plate of fish! The portion already got us excited and what brings it to another level is the warm sourdough bread. And what's every better? They charged £1.85 for extra bread! We've had experience where restaurants charged us £4.80 for two pieces of extra bread, so this is amazing to us. Grilled mackerel: omg the fish is cooked to perfection and with all the sauce/veggies that come with it, it's so sophisticated and simply delicious. The size is great too as we were expecting less than that. Crispy chicken thigh: we made a joke when we were browsing the menu because it's around £14 and we thought with the inflation and everything, it'd come with one piece of thigh. But NOPE! It came with 3 and all these food is plenty enough to satisfy us. And let me tell you the cauliflower purée in this dish is just phenomenal. So yummy. Chocolate pudding: we aren't usually a dessert in a restaurant kinda people but because everything is so good and the dessert price isn't too expensive, we decided to go for it. First impression is the very nice portion size because it usually comes in a GU pudding sorta size but nope. This is a SOUP BOWL!!! Omg that already got my heart and the taste with the lemon biscuit is just so goooooooood! You gotta try it out. You gotta."
