Le Cafe du Jardin review by AlexH
Went here for my birthday, and unfortunately it was my choice to come here.
the guy who reviewed this place before me clearly enjoyed the service - probably because he was spending a fortune and the scummy pretentious waiters saw £ signs-a-flashing.
We'd had a lovely day out at the tower (because i've lived here 21 years and never been) and fancied finishing it with a light meal. So we went for their set menu. The first guy who served us mumbled a bit, we guessed that he something about wine so we got the house which was really sharp and probably came from the local co-op.
The starters were nothing special, and as for the main... well. My girlfriend assures me her Satay Chicken was juicy6 and tasty. So they can have a point for that. But their salmon was just so bland, and served on a bed of soggy lifeless veg. However it was still good value for money.
The saving grace of this evening was the company, although we had to whisper because the waiters were hovering and staring. The service was in fact so crappy that we asked for the service charge to be reduced, which was not greeted by 'why? how can we do better?' but a '
Please, if you want a quick lunch at a reasonable price, this place is probably great, but for dinner? No. Don't bother. Don't justify this kind of useless service and disregard for customers, and general pretentiousness which killed any soul the place may have once had - if it ever had a soul, the staff certainly don't.
