"Beautiful, delicious food, honestly can 't fault the food or drinks, or the wait staff trust served our food and drinks. The lady who welcomed me however, made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I was 7 minutes early. I arrived at 7.53pm for an 8pm booking. Out table , I 'm told , isn 't yet available, the people are finishing soon I 'm told. But I see the table ,it 's empty. I asked if I can sit at the bar for a drink while I wait for my friends, I see 3 seats at the bar available. I 'm told no sorry the bar is fully booked. So against the window there is 1 free seat available between 2 people either side, I happily take this seat while I wait for my table to become available. From the window I see my friend has turned up, I go back to the same person, tell her my friend is here and has no where to sit, since our table is not yet ready I ask if we can both just stand in the lobby . I 'm told no. We can 't. It is not 7.56pm. our reservation is for 8pm. I know the table is empty. I ask what would she like to do? She says you are early for your booking, your table is not yet ready because the guests have not yet left (not true), like I said you can go to a pub and come back to us when it is the correct time . Honestly I felt like crying. It was 4 minutes. I am British Pakistani, clearly not white,I hate, HATE, thinking this but I can 't help but wonder if would have been treated differently if I wasn 't."
