"So once a month, my bestie and I treat us one night out and crazy bear was our choice for september. my friend was there several times, but it was my first time and I wanted to know what it was about! I ran as late as ever and my friend was patiently waiting for minutes. at the arrival I was greeted by the super friendly hosts who showed me to our table. to say I have starved was an understatement, and of course, my first thoughts were to flick through the menu and the order! it is always nice to begin after a long day with a glass prosecco! it was all the way that I was up for hours. Yes, this Prosecco glass was very necessary. my friend chose to have the pornstar martini that she highly recommends and added that it was one of the best pornstars she had in london. I have to say that the drinks have come very fast, which is a miracle in london, as they often wait for their drinks for ever! for beginners I decided for the jasmin tee smoked tacky gloucestershire old spots ripping and they had gone in about minutes, simply because they were so delicious. followed by prawn tempura maki roll and salmon sashimi- they should now know that I absolutely love salmon sashimi. for my main thing, I chose the moving butdeen Angus-Rind sirloin, and I love a bit of bark, but perhaps I would have asked the bark to be medium-sized, as it was very chewing and I like my steak to be tenderer. However, the combinations of paprika, oyster mushrooms and oyster sauce are only mouthwater! overall for the price of eating, it was worth definitiw, and I could not be filled anymore. we didn't have much time, but there is a cocktail bar down that seemed to dizz and there was a very cool DJ game music. a few people danced and I wanted to shake a bit, but I had worked pretty early the next day, sad times. I would advise to have dinner and then follow them with drinks down below."

"Hospitality businesses have had it tough over the past few years, but even making allowances for that, there’s no excuse for probably the worst meal I’ve had for a very long time. I should have paid attention to other recent reviews. It takes a particular skill (and not a good one) to be able to serve up a meal so completely lacking in flavour and taste. First up, the restaurant lacks any atmosphere. Granted it was early evening but we were put in an empty room so cold we had to keep our coats on. A couple of small heaters had no impact at all. On the positive side, service was attentive. The mixed starter plate was the usual mixed starter in a Chinese restaurant. Not home made, all bought in, we’ve had it numerous times. The chicken satay was a particular low point but fairly typical of all the meat dishes, a rare combination of tough but watery. As for the sauces, absolutely a million miles away from even moderate flavour to coat the meats. And sesame toast and spring roll – how can you cook the flavour out of that? Crispy aromatic duck with pancakes – the pancakes were the only things as expected. A bit of a high point, almost. There was no crispy and no aromatic, the duck was bordering on tepid and again no flavour. We had a polite word with our server who said he would speak to the kitchen to see what could be done. Given they were unlikely to be preparing fresh for us, I doubted we’d get anything. Three dishes came out flavourless and barely warm. A chicken dish came out with the server proclaiming the hope that this dish would be different. Indeed it was. It was hot, for a start. Then we found out why, it seemed like in order to get some flavour into the dish, it had been given a quick go in a wok and doused in soy sauce. So, it did have flavour, just not the flavour of the dish. Given it was so cold in there we couldn’t really even laugh the experience off as ‘one of those things’. I can’t recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy."
