"I would never normally leave a poor review, if I haven't enjoyed somewhere I just wouldn't return. However, due to the price of this particular meal I felt I had to leave some comments. Firstly, the menu wasn't what I had booked (3 courses and Prosecco for £45) there was a choice of the Festive menu at £55 for 3 courses or the al a carte. The setting itself was a bit disappointing. I appreciate it was in Harrods, but I expected it to be a bit more exclusive, for want of a better word. We were sat in a nice booth, but it was next to the walkway between the wine shop and the restaurant. It was also pretty hard to find in the maze that is Harrods. The staff were lovely and actually did give us a complimentary glass of Prosecco when I questioned the change in the menu. The low service score is due to the length of time we waited for our starters to arrive. I had booked the table for 5.30pm as we had a train to catch at 8.30pm, but as you only get a 2-hour timeslot anyway I thought this would be ample time. We did get there a bit late (as I said it was hard to find) but had ordered by 6.00pm. Our starters arrived about 6.50pm! The staff approached us twice to apologise for the delay and refilled our Prosecco glass, but by the time it came, and we had eaten it, it was past 7.00pm so we had to have our main and pudding in quick succession after the starter. We had also ordered a bottle of wine and I had to ask the server to put the lid back on the bottle so we could take it with us. I've no idea why it took so long to arrive as it wasn't really that full and all we had ordered was the soup and a cold salmon starter. The food was okay (a little bit cold if truth be told) but didn't reflect the price. The bill was £166 for 2 including service. I could have knocked off the service charge, but we were rushing to get away to catch the train, and as I said the staff were lovely. Overall, really disappointing."

"We booked a wowcher deal for 8 of us on Saturday originally at 5.30pm, the restaurant moved this to 6.30pm a couple of weeks before no issue. We had problems with the piccadilly line all under ground so no mobile signal which turned a 40 minute journey into 1 hour 45 which meant we arrived at South Kensington tube at 6.40. We walked quickly the mile to the restaurant while calling , on the way. There were no replies and the voicemail was full. When we arrived at Jujus at 7.02 we were that our table had been given away as they only hold the booking for half a hour . After getting the manager out who told us 1. no one was in the office to answer the phone 2. she had already given our table away 10 minutes ago 3. we are being rude and she didn't want to talk to us anymore . After pointing our that that means they didn't hold our table for the half hour, she finally relented and let us in saying she would push a table together but they had a booking at 8.30 so we would have to go by then. When we got to the table, it was clearly the one they had ready for us anyway so it was set for 8 and there was only 5 of us who went in the end. Also the restaurant was half empty and at no point until we left around 9.30 so no 8.30 booking were all the tables full. They said they had already redeemed all four wowchers so we were unable to cancel one although they did give us food for 8. Food itself was very nice , chow mein or green curries and once we were sat down it was a good atmosphere however the fight to get in spoiled it somewhat. Toilets also , although what was obviously an expensive refurb, had probably not been cleaned all day with overflowing bins and lots of paper on the floor. I'm not sure if staff had an issue with guests using wowchers instead of paying full price in which case don't use those sites or the fact that we are all girls that need to work for a living and lack high end designer clothes and bags. First bad wowcher/groupon I've had."
