Boisdale of Belgravia

Oh my God! I have never encountered such a rude waiter in all my life. The kitchen mixed up our orders and when I ended up with the wrong vegetables our host was so incredibly rude – accusing me of ordering incorrectly!

The maitre d’ tried his best to apologise but just ended up sounding totally obsequious and insincere. The good but overpriced food partly made up for the appalling service but then the icing on the cake arrived with the bill…

Yes ladies and gentlemen we were each charged £3.95 for the experience of being inflicted with overbearing live jazz which over dinner.

I will absolutely never go to this place again and wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. I’ve had much better service in fast food restaurants and you don’t end up stinking of cigars when you leave burger bars either.

After my second visit to the restaurant, I remain unimpressed. While the service is exellent, the decor is dated and the food is average at best. The jazz music is great but unecessarily loud, making conversation impossible. Considering the cost is not proportional to the quality of food or atmosphere, I am hesitant to return for a third trip.

Great interior, but you don't eat the interior do you? Competent service but below average food. A generally forgettable experience.

Visiting London from Edinburgh,"let's take the Jocks to a Scottish restaurant". Great ! I thought, with slight apprehension.

Delighted to say that the venue, the food and the service was oustanding and not a kilt in sight!. So impressed I decide to look the restaurant up for future reference and came accross your site.Live music fitted in well, not a table to be found(midweek), in my book a happening and popular venue which I would highly recommend. The House wines were also excellent and good value, always a good sign.
