   職場の仲間との懇親会で利用しました。お洒落で雰囲気良く、料理も中々です。お値段も意外とお手頃でした。またリピートしたいです。

   Reliable for a good meal but very noisy and not as atmospheric as the original Bread Street Kitchen at St Paul's

   I honestly expected a lot more from this. The price of the food compared to the service was almost terrible. It started off fine but our waitress was borderline unable to focus on our table. She seemed all over the place and failed to explain the Wellington experience properly at all. Our food was for the most part delicious, 2 of us ordered the Wellington experience. The beef Wellington had a great flavor, but it came out borderline lukewarm. It also came out LONG before the rest of our parties entrees. Once we all finished our entrees, our empty plates were sitting on our table for 30+ minutes and the waitress said our desert for the Wellington would be coming out soon. Which took another 20 minutes for it to come to the table. The desert was incredible, but the wait for it made it beyond annoying to sit there and wait. The waitress didn’t describe the Wellington experience well at all. She told us that it would come with 2 drinks for each person and once I asked for my second drink, she said “it will cost extra.” I was already annoyed at this point in the lack of service so I told her that I didn’t want another drink. 5 minutes later a new drink is brought out and she said “I got you one anyways” and I assumed she grabbed me another one on the house for the miscommunication. Once we finished desert, it took another 20+ minutes to even find our server to try and pay and leave. She was sitting at the host stand on a laptop and one of our party members had to grab her. She was unable to itemize the bill and told us to divide the total of the cost of each item on our own then we could tell her what we each were paying in the £ amount. Then she couldn’t even close us out herself and had someone else do it. Not only that, I was charged for the drink that the waitress brought on her own. Overall, I was very disappointed in the overall quality of service and was underwhelmed in the food department. Most likely will not return to a gordon restaurant in London.

   We arrived early ahead of the lunch crowd but out order seemed to have been forgotten. Once it arrived it was good but didn’t blow me away so a mix of 3 -4 starts for this particular visit. Beautiful restaurant and attentive staff apart from the slip with the order

    Service was incredibly slow. Probably due to there being lots of Christmas gatherings. In fairness they discounted our bill without us complaining which was a nice touch but having to wait 30 minutes after being seated before anyone asked if we wanted a drink let alone took our order is poor given the prices. The food was average and really not in line with the prices. Despite the discount which we were grateful for we are highly unlikely to ever return
