Roast potatoes as hard and unyielding as month-old rabbit droppings, beef cooked to within an inch of its life, tough old brown bits of lamb and some soggy boiled veg were the highpoints of lunch at this truly terrible "bistro".
The low points were the clueless yet arrogant service, the overpriced wine and appalling quality of the ingredients.
Edible were the fried sardines, inedible was pretty much everything else.
At £100 for three of us , this was not cheap and was a dire, lazy, unimaginative, almost repugnant restaurant experience.
Almost funny was the cheeseboard - if a place serves crap food they could at least be generous with the portions you would have thought... but no, I've seen bigger microdots of LSD that the sorry lumps of cheese we were served here...
I would avoid this place like the plague. It is truly terrible.

After visiting the Kew Gardens branch my wife and I decided to try this as it's closer to the house, huge mistake! Firstly the ambience is about as welcoming as a funeral wake, secondly the food is horrific. Steak cooked to within an inch of it's life, onion soup hotter then the surface of the sun and mash made with under-cooked potatoes and margarine....in fact it appeared that the potato out foxed the chef with every chance it could as the 'chunky chips' were burnt on the outside with a lovely hard raw centre, an amazing culinary feat!! My personal favourite though was the black pudding en croute...essentially a dry black pudding sausage roll which came with no sign of the apple sauce described on the menu. Service was mediocre at best with the waiter desperate to sell us wine at any available oppurtunity...maybe he misunderstood the numerous 'no thank you's' for 'please keep asking us'. Anyway...would I go again, absolutely not, I'd rather spend the money buying sawdust, water and puff pastry and re-creating that starter at home by myself!
