what the critics say

This Is London

Fay Maschler - 3/5

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - When GRH bought Foxtrot Oscar with the aim of rolling out bistros in that name, the publicity was keen to mention that the head chef was Gemma Tuley…After all that and still only a tender 25, Gemma has suddenly popped up in Waterloo at a restaurant and bar called Arch One opposite the main entrance to the station. It looks and feels like a place for after-work drinking. When I rang to book a table — to the seeming amazement of the chap on the other end of the phone — he said I would probably want to be on the mezzanine level.

My boyfriend and I came here last night for a dinner. Upon arrival we were told "you not allowed to sit in that area for food", in the corner was four people having a meal. Anyway, then after been ignored by the waitress, and watching other tables get causally asked "is the food o.k?" for over ten minutes. The waitress dismissively told me she was coming to serve us now. Five minutes later she took the order.

Our food was delivery fairly promptly without so much as a smile on the waitress's face. It was satisfactory. When we finish our fillet (wich was delicious) we ordered some crumble and we were told by the waitress the kitchen had run out. Ten minutes later, after we asked for the bill, she came back telling us the crumble was back on. A bit disappointed about the service, but the food was brilliant.

Hope to get better service next time. Nice food, nice atmosphere, we will be back.
