"We made a reservation for 5:45 pm for a pre-theatre dinner, thinking we had plenty of time. However, when we arrived, there was no one to greet us at the door. Two members of our party had arrived before us, so we started making our way to our table. A staff member gestured for us to go back and wait by the door, but made no effort to come speak to us. After realizing we had a reservation, he stopped motioning for us to wait. We waited a long time for someone to take our order and had to ask for assistance. We finally placed our order around 6:15 pm. The drinks were brought by a confused waiter who asked if he had brought all the drinks we had ordered. There was no sign of the food even half an hour later. When we inquired, a waiter informed us that the food was on its way. Ten minutes later, when we asked again, we were told the food would arrive in another 10 minutes. This meant the food would not be served until after 7, when we had theatre tickets for 7:30. They never informed us that the kitchen was running behind schedule. They did not charge us for our drinks, but our family dinner and my son's birthday celebration were ruined. We had to quickly find a sandwich to eat so we would not be starving at the theatre. It may be suitable for a leisurely evening, but an hour and a half clearly was not enough time for a meal at this restaurant."

"At this place apparently the duck can only be served pink like, very very pink or well done. This was the first thing that really baffled me, and it was actually pretty funny, but I have never heard such a thing for such a fancy lookin place to not be able to cook a duck properly. It really makes no sense because surely you put duck in the oven, and after 30 minutes, it 's pink, 50 minutes, it 's well done, so why not take it out at 40??? This was the first problem. The second issue was I ordered the creme brulee, quite excited about that, but it came out at it was literally not cooked like not at all . It was a soup! My mother insisted I send it back I really hate doing that , but the point was that it was literally not cooked and was soupy, and contained raw egg, so anyway, a lovely server came by and was able to bring my creme brulee back, and I asked for just a new one. Well, amusingly, the server comes back with a solemn look on her face and says, I 'm sorry, you cannot have the creme brulee, because *all* the creme brulees are like that .... HUH?! And we were like the last table to be seated so all night they 've been serving souping uncooked creme brulees to people?? At the end, my mother kindly paid the bill, but I noticed only after that she had paid for the creme brulee that I didn 't eat omg . A server came by and asked if something was wrong because they saw us scrutinizing the bill. My mother said that it was nothing other than we accidentally paid for the creme brulee. They said they would try to refund it, but the manager came over and said it usually takes 3-5 business days after a form was filled out by us, but after the look on my mother 's face after just kind of a rollercoaster of a meal , they said they would try to expedite it. Anyway, the manager was very proud of themselves when they refunded us not only for the creme brulee but the service charge the 70p associated with it. Anyway, if you go here avoid the duck and creme brulee lol"
