Bibendum review by mrs sue weigl
Having read the 'excellent reveiw' written by Michael Winner in the Sunday Times we decided to try the restaurant for our anniversary dinner. Table, service all fine,if a little over attentive. Starter, crab with aspic and creme fraiche, was good and something different, we waited for a good 45 mins for our main course,not a problem. We had many waiters pouring water and wine, bread plate was removed after the first slice of bread ! Main courses arrived,firstly the tornadous of beef with mergeaux sausage and foi gras. also 2 field mushrooms (£3.75) the beef was seriously in edible,so salty and tasted of bacon only, which was not mentioned on the menu,my husband had the halibut with pois al la creme sauce and anchoide crust,again incredible salty but the fish not so tender. I did mention the problem to the maitre de who handled the situation exceedingly well and professionally,offering alternatives and making sure that the next course ordered was perfect,and complimentary drinks also followed.
Having had such a glowing review in the Sunday Times my husband and I were so bitterly disappointed.
