This is the worst restaurant l have ever been to.

The service was amateur and insulting. The food was so bad l actually thought l was going to vomit during the meal. The atmosphere was nonexistent. The only others in the place were Eastern European working girls smoking and drinking bottles of cheap plonk. But, worst of all, the price was extortionate. Two champaign cocktails were ordered to start the meal off at a price of £12.50 each. They were disgusting, missing ingredients, bits floating in them I actually had to stir my own to make it at all palatable.

This is a rich mans folly. Which l have no problem with. And as a bar, downstairs looked average for the area. But to advertise this a restaurant is misleading in the extreme. Clearly no one involved in this sham has any knowledge or interest in food. This place served one purpose; to show off the owners wealth and dubious taste in interior design. I can't believe we trusted them with a special birthday celebration and they ruined it. It actually makes me angry to think about it. Throwing away money for some fat scamster in a pink suits ego trip.

It was so bad, at one point my girlfriend burst into tears, unable to cope with how hard she'd tried to organise a special occasion and how much it had backfired due to this cheap, nasty place.

ERGH!

Please don't assume because this review is so bad l'm writing due to some personal/business vendetta. I just want to avoid any other hapless dinners falling into the same trap. Please avoid at all cost!
