Review of lunch for 4 people at Chez Gerard Covent Garden on Sunday 15 March 2009. Restaurant setting very good and the table was fine too.

Service was average. Three of the four main courses were VERY POOR. Two of these were vegetarian and sounded good on the menu but were hardly edible. The meat in the Boeuf Bourguignone was AWFUL - fatty and not of good quality.

I did not expect such poor quality meals from a restaurant with Chez Gerard's reputation. The price was quite expensive but not an issue IF the quality had been good but was totally unacceptable for such poor quality food. A 'discretionary' service charge of 12 1/2% was unjustifiable.

Great venue - how many places will allow you to have the view over Covent Garden with a glass roof on? Been there for two colleagues' joint birthday celebration. Could not really remember what I ordered and the quality of the food, this lack of memory of eating experience happened quite rarely and it may due to too much wine I have had there. I did not pay for it as well, but heard it was quite expensive. Anyway, a place for special occasions I guess.
