http://www.london-eating.co.uk/24753.htm Prince Alfred & Formosa Dining Room Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating Had a nice early sunday evening supper there yesterday. It was the Euro 2008 Final so the place was empty... so lacked the ambience that this place I'm sure can generate on a regular weekend evening, but none the less... Our food was well cooked and tasty. The chicken was great quality, but the belly pork, just had too much fat - even for belly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm This was my second time at the formosa eating with different friends, I had really rated the restaurant the first time i visited and had forgiven the minor hicups that i had experienced with wine burnt bread and service etc because i live very close and like the idea of the restaurant and bar, however this visit sealed the fact that i will not ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm sometimes i read these "reviews" and wonder - we have nothing but praise for this place. The food is consistently excellent and reasonable and the staff knowledgable and helpful. We also had the scallops which were succulent and flavourful, followed by the steak at £16. The portions were large and cooked just as we asked. The ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm My wife and I stayed at the Cololonade Hotel just around the corner and visited the pub following a day at Lords. We decided to stay and eat in the Formosa Room. We sat down and I ordered a bottle of Aussie chardonnay which when it arrived was obviously not right. The wine was was very dark ,syrupy and almost sherry like ,the waitress insisted ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm My wife and i stayed at the little Collonade hotel just around the corner from this pub/restaurant . We popped in to the pub and decided to stay and eat. I ordered a bottle of Aussie chardonnay and found that the wine had gone very "syrupy" almost like sherry. What really upset me was the young lady serving us tried to convince me ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm I used to eat here a lot, i live practically next door so it was very useful. Alas as another reviewer has said it's become avictim of its own success. The prices have risen dramatically and the quality of food dipped to such a poor standard that frankly they should be ashamed of themselves. The staff used to be great but have all moved on and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm After being here twice, I remembered the food as being not particularly special, but nicely done. However, I was disappointed on my recent visit. The menu was very limited and the choices were quite plain. We could have made better ourselves and the desserts....well we could have bought better at the supermarket. For average gastropub-type ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm I've stopped by for a few beers before but this was the first time I ate there - in fact, we ended up eating there twice in quick succession, once on Friday evening and again for Sunday lunch. Both experiences were much the same though. The pub part is pretty cool but the formosa dining room lacks the character of the pub and feels distinctly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm We went just before Christmas on a very cold day. The pub and restaurant were both very, very cold. Service was below par and much of the food served was not very warm. The service was OK but no better and we had to wait for a long time for all courses, wine and coffee. Prices reasonable and food OK but spoilt by the temperature on the plate ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm Food was very good and portions were the right size. Service was equally good. The staff didn't push us anything and didn't make us feel hasted which so often happens in restaurants these days. The place was fully packed on Tuesday so it shows how popular the place is. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4083.htm
