Le Cafe du Jardin review by Ol Rappaport

We had eaten here befiore and enjoyed the pre-theatre menu for value and service. This time we went later (about 9:30) and so had the a la carte menu. I chose haddock in tempura batter, mushy peas and fat chips. If they served this as tempura at Sushi World (Pitshanger Lane W5) the sushi chef would commit harakiri in shame. It was ordinary batter and the fish was not the freshest. And ordinary peas, a spoonful of very ordinary mushy peas. And THREE chips, undercooked.

So I called the waitress, three times with my hand in the air getting louder each time. I had the whole restaurant's attention except the waitresses who were busy talking to each other. I explained the food was undercooked and sudenly I had staff all over me apologising and taking it away and cooking me a fresh meal - this time the THREE chips were cooked, but the tempura was still batter and the mushy peas were bland.

They didn't charge me for my meal. and my companions enjoyed theirs. I won't go back.
