Annex 3

Came with some friends after work on a tuesday. It was really unexpected to find such a glamorous place on this quiet side street. The staff were very welcoming and were there when we needed them and not too obtrusive. The drinks and food were great. Not the usual west end place. I have never seen so many chandeliers in one room. Every one of them are different and beautiful in their own way. The decor is really unique and fun. Will be coming back during a weekend.

Potentially very fun but a bit quiet for a mid week celebration! Food was good, although some dishes were better than others on a table of 8. The final bill was rather expensive and didn't really reflect the quality of the restaurant. I suppose you are paying for a Soho Venue with a glam interior and the reputation of the Les Trois Garcons. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as their other restaurant and bar . . .

A really strange location as it was not easy to find but well worth the trek. I suppose i am not familiar with this area but for those around here it would not be a problem. A really unusual decor sets it apart and really freindly staff made us feel at home. The food is reasonablely priced and very good.The cocktails are the real reason for coming here for me as they are really unusual and amazing. You also pay for the quality ingredients. Overall a very pleasant experience.

I didn't realise this place existed despite working round the corner from it for over a year now. I loved the decor (apart from the seats), the designer has really gone to town. A sort of psychedelic Moroccan Gaudi hyrbid on acid but lots of fun anyway. The wine was lovely, the staff were attentive and friendly and the food although a little over priced it was executed well and certainly tasted delicious and fresh. Could have been a little busier but it was a week night in January...Overall not perfect but if you are looking for a little getaway to have a few drinks with friends its spot on. I'm going back for a cocktail soon!

The venue was ok even if the deco was a bit strange and the seating was very mis-matched indeed. But worse of all the bar was overpriced.

Anyway we was there to celebrate but is was cut short, most was not feeling a good vibe and looking at the bar menu....The only Happy hour was the Bar till going 'Ching!'

So after one drink, a rain check on the food and we was off to another watering hole....

Oh! it was rather dark , maybe it was to stop us noticing the amount of cash leaving our purse!....This Venue is only recommended for a sneeky 1 to 1- it's dark enough to hide your blushes!

A really great place to visit.Nice staff that are very accomadating as we increased our numbers without informing them. They sorted us out without making us feel bad. The food is really tasty and simple, the type you can eat all the time. Cocktails are the best I have had for a long time using premium ingredients. The decor is way out . Its really fun and I see a lot of designers are catching on to it since its been seen on telly every week on the Culture Show on BBC2. Nice to have a friendly and unusual place to come to.

Read the last review with interest. Wasn't expecting much when I went but have to say how wonderful a place it is. Cocktails were amazing, service friendly and informed and decor is one of a kind. Don't think it is trying to be 'trendy' or 'funky', just original. It's a shame reviews like the last one appear from time to time as it sounds like the gent who left the last review would be comfortable in a Slug and Lettuce rather than a top end cocktail bar...

Annoying.

- A sit down bar, thus no inter-action with those sitting any further away than next-to or opposite you. And, the chairs are uncomfortable!

- Only two brands of beer - Laos, which needs to be served cold; it wasn't and another not great beer with a stupid bottle containing about two sips worth.

- We had a stupid waiter, whose French arrogance didn't warrant the automatic 12.5% service charge he lumped on our bills - without consent!

- The decor is not 'funky' or 'trendy', it's messy and irritating to the eye.

- They clearly ran out of ideas and money in the bathroom - an old pub urinal and a sink which wouldn't look out of place in a Chechen hospital.

- The cocktails are good, but nothing on SOBar Richmond or pretty much any other bar that charges the same prices. Don't go there if you're planning to drink anything else.

I cannot stress how much this bar and the gimp manager, with his £58 Toni & Guy haircut, shouldn't get your custom!

I read the reviews and went along not expecting much and so I would not be disappointed. The cocktails were nice enough but soon forgotten as the service over zealous (wanting to remove glasses which were clearly still being drunk), the surroundings dubious (our glass table was very sticky and dirty indeed, I asked to it to be wiped and afterwards my sleeves still stuck to a sticky patch - yeuch) and the tapas/bar food totally disgusting! I was appalled at the size of the portions, and then even between 5 of us, it remained uneaten as it was all so horrid. What a waste of £15!

It seems a shame that in London somewhere that as found a nice large space has decided to service luke warn fatty snacks in a dirty and unappealing surrounding. I wont be going back!

Normally the most easily mollified of patrons- annex 3 has the distinction of having made me crack. Our party of 8 were kept waiting for over twenty minutes for our booked table, no apology was made by the seriously harrassed and mardy greeter...better yet, we finally had to ask to have the empty wine glasses and over-filling ashtrays removed. We had to 'source' three of our own chairs and do our best to blow down the filthy table. I know! At the is point we should have headed for the hills- but it was Friday night, raining and we wanted a drink. Suffice to say, it was not worth the wait. Non-descript fruit pulp, undressed and slugishly delivered the cocktails were an absolute horror served in the fugliest glasses in London. What has happened to this place? Earlier visits in the summer were enjoyable enough, with some excellent staff who went out of their way to help. Evidently those guys have been poached only to be replaced by surly lightweights who'd rather pour the drinks over you than mix a decent cocktail. Steer clear!
