http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22290.htm Aubergine Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating Excellent dinner. If you are after traditional dishes (at times with a creative twist), perfectly executed, this is the place for you. I am surprised about reviews complaining about portions being small; they are European standard and not American standard, but a three course meal put my girlfriend and I totally KO (in a good way). Note also ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm Our visit to Aubergine in Chelsea was on the recommendation of friends and our dinner certainly did not disappoint. We were very courteously and quietly greeted on arrival. Pre dinner drinks on the sofa gave way to a nice table in an airy and unfussy atmosphere. All four of us (cosmo British and Australian) chose differently from the a la carte ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm Genuinely the most disappointing meal I have had in a long time. The food was bland to the point of tasteless. The staff were polite but it is clear they have heard many such comments before and made no attempt to work out what had gone wrong. By contrast the cancellation policy and follow up were pretty close to hassling. If they put half ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm A party of four of us chose Aubergine a couple of months ago as one of our regular "good restaurants evenings". We were not disappointed - the sevrice was impeccable (better than we expereinced at the Savoy Grill) and food was delicious. Absoloutley nothing to complain about! I would highly recommend to anyone. It is farily price but ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm I totally agree with the previous comments. Can't really fault the quality of the food, however dining at a michelin rated restaurant is as much about the service, ambience and the whole dining experience. I was asked to remind a waitress three times what dish I had ordered, not that they were busy as the restaurant was virtually empty. Staff ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm We dined at Aubergine in December and were wholly disappointed in almost all areas except for the quality of the food itself. The service was appalling - we had to ask repeatedly for the sommerlier, sitting with empty glasses for more than 1/2 an hour on two occasions!!. Service was incredibly and unjustifyably slow given the restaurant was ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm Just prior to Christmas I arranged a table of sixteen people at Aubergine - the meal and the service were out of this world. This has to be one of the top five places I have eaten in Europe. My fellow dinners ranged from Michelin regulars to first timers and the comments from all echo my views, honest cooking and invisible (in a positive ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm The worst meal I have ever had in London. We visited as a group with high expectations but experienced apalling service - we practically had to beg the waiters to top up our wine glasses despite spending close to a thousand pounds on wine alone! The waiters were rude, sullen and insulting. The food did little to redeem the experience - over ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm The description of Aubergine as a class act is an apt one. These days it is almost refreshing to come across a restaurant in London happy to serve classic dishes cooked well. This is haute French food, but there is no real aim to be clever, rather to execute some classic combinations to a phenomenally high standard. Wine matches were similar, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm Went there last night with a team of 12 people and we had the gourmet menu with matching wines. It was good but quite honestly the dishes were so tiny many of us left feeling a bit peckish - so good food and wine but disappointing portions. There was a somewhat presumptuous £300+ built in tip and ludicrous charges associated with simple ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2.htm
