Wetherby's

I am always worried when I don’t see many reviews on a restaurant. Wetherby has one at the moment and it is positive. I was looking for an English restaurant nearby Gloucester Road and I found W. The restaurant is located inside the NH Hotel. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty and the lobby/bar a bit busy. After an hour at the bar, we decided to go the restaurant and got a great table in the middle of the room by this huge fake Xmas tree. The décor of the restaurant is very classic. We order main courses directly (Seabass with Asparagus and Ravioli, Rack of Lamb with Cabbage and…).and a bottle of some Spanish rosé. All courses were good with a large portion with different tastes on a plate. I wish that the sauce with my seabass had been less watery. We order also some good selection of cheese and a sticky toffee pudding. The staff was very nice and welcoming. We were served by a very amicable and smiley Dutch waitress who did the Netherlands Breda hotel school. Something that was missing was the atmosphere. There wasn’t any. In fact, we were the only customers the whole evening we were there. But we couldn’t complain. For a change, we didn’t have to shout at each other to follow a conversation. The service was spot on. And we were happy customers in the end. The bill was about £30 per head (with no starters and coffees). So if you are struggling with the organization of your Xmas party, go there…you would probably find some availability.

Excellent food served with a professional and friendly service. Quite impressed with the prices as they are very competitive. Nice to know the restaurant waiters knew about wines!!!
