Blue Ginger Bar Restaurant review by Anon
Upon our entrance the staff seemed to regard us with utter contempt for not booking a table, despite the apparent lack of customers. This, coupled with their security guard instructing me to park in a space my car quite blatantly wasn't going to fit into, gave an immediate impression of careless service. We were, however, quickly seated in one of the numerous empty tables.
The restaurant section of Blue Ginger is very well decorated: it feels like a city luncher as opposed to a revamped pub. The seats themselves are comfortable, although couples have to make do with backless stools, apparently left over from the building's pub days.
The starters were nothing short of delicious, especially the Chilli Paneer and Garlic Paneers. Portion sizes are reasonably generous, but if you don't recognise some of the names on the menu it's an utter waste of time asking the staff, who seem expert only in refilling pint glasses milliseconds after the final sip.
The main courses were rather disappointing, with poor quality meat and superfluously sweet sauces. The bill was more than I expected, and it certainly isn't worth the extra in comparison to local rivals - that is, unless you thing a resteraunt's decor is more important than the food. The waiter's tactless hints that I should give a tip were decidedly ignored.
