Blakes Hotel review by Vicki Roos
We ate at Blakes celebrating our 20th anniversary on Feb. 24th, 2007 and have eaten there before. We returned not necessarily because it's was the greatest food in London, but we previously had enjoyed the atmosphere and bar. When arriving this time the bar was closed for a private party and we went to sit in the small bar in the back of the restaurant. We ordered 2 glasses of champagne and when we finished our glasses we waited with empty glasses for 15 minutes while trying to get the bartenders attention. With no luck we were seated at our table. We were rushed by the inexperience and inefficient servers who never were the same people.(apparently the servers serve all tables) the only professional was I believe the maître d' who did take our wine order. We both had the sea bass and spinach. The spinach was so salty that I couldn't eat it and the sea bass was lackluster at best. They forgot about our wine chilling and never filled our glasses (we thought the bottle was empty) and ordered a dessert wine with dessert. They brought us the dessert wine and suddenly found our bottle which had two and half glasses of wine left it in, so we had an ensemble of wine glasses lined up to drink on our table. I won't return to Blakes for whom needs to waste their money on bad service, and marginal food.
