Coq d'Argent

We went to Coq d'Argent on Friday 18th September 2009 at lunch time. We had booked in advance and arrived at 12.30. Service was incredibly slow. We had been seated for an hour when we finally caught a waiter's attention and asked if we could order. It was well over two hours before our main courses arrived. The food arrived cold and with the wrong accompaniments. We were charged for side dishes that should have been inlcuded in the meal and the waiters were generally snooty and disinterested in our attempts to speed things up. We had to leave without desert as it was already 3.30pm by the time we finished out main course. The food was fine, the terrace was lovely but I for one, will never return and I do wonder how in the current economic climate a restaurant can afford to be so blase about service.

Don't bother would be my advice. I booked a table for my wife and I to celebrate her birthday. The staff seemed underwhelmed with our presence which was particularly annoying as we spent over £200 on the meal. The waiter preceeded to announce that about half the menu was not available even though we were early evening customers. The food was average and overpriced, the staff pretentious in the extreme. I wish we had booked Gaucho!
