"I was really excited to have a seafood meal in London's theater district, so I decided to ignore the negative reviews on Open Table and focus on the positive ones on Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, my experience at the restaurant was a letdown and quite expensive. Despite having to wait a bit at the bar because our outdoor table wasn't ready, the alley table we were seated at was charming. I didn't mind too much when the bottle of wine arrived before the cocktail we ordered, as it was a minor issue. However, I was incredibly disappointed to have been at the restaurant for 90 minutes with only some oysters and one starter being brought to the table. The staff mostly ignored us on a slow Monday night, even though we were there for dinner. We would have been satisfied with just oysters and wine after a show, but we were hungry and left waiting for our dishes, which took a long time to arrive. In fact, the diners who came in after us for post-theater meals had finished eating before we even received our food. Perhaps it was an off night for the kitchen, but considering the high bill we received, I expected a more timely delivery of our dishes without having to repeatedly ask for them. Additionally, the fries/chips we ordered arrived cold. I wish I could say that we had a fantastic seafood meal in London, but the truth is that we only enjoyed the oysters and wine, while the rest of the meal was disappointing for the price we paid. There are much better places in London where you can spend your money."

"I have to say I'm really not impressed with my experience at this restaurant. We sat down at the table and was waiting 10 minutes and no one came and asked did we want a drink. In the end my partner ended up getting up himself to order our drinks and wait for them. We then waited a further 10 minutes for our order to be taken. We had been in the restaurant around 45 minutes and was just in to our starter meal. When our main food came my partners meal didn't come with the chips it said it did on the menu so we had to ask for them. While we was eating our main my partner had to make a trip to the bar again because the 1 waiter that was on shift all night didn't ask us once did we need another drink. Overall experience was very poor only 2 members of staff on the floor one of them was a receptionist, if you are understaffed you need to be aware of how many people you have booked at the hotel and realise you could get busy, agent staff was quite obviously needed on this occasion. There was around 7 or 8 other tables and everyone was complaining about the service. We can't all be wrong I'm afraid. Didn't even bother having desert as we over heard the waiter telling another table that 3 of them wasn't even available which is not good enough in my opinion. Coming away from the restaurant we checked our receipt to work out what we had from the menu doesn't add up to what we have been charged for, we have been overcharged which has ruined any idea of even contemplating returning in the future. Having already paid for breakfast we had to return in the morning but they didn't make up at all, not good value for money and the choice of how you would like your egg is stated on the menu, I asked the 1 waiter again if I could have scrambled egg he returned saying it wasn't possible. To then over hear another person requesting scrambled egg in which they got. Appalled at how we was treated and would recommend to no one."
