1901 @ Andaz (formerly Aurora) review by Tim Wood
When is a smoked salmon and squid salad not a smoked salmon and squid salad? When it is a poached salmon salad with no squid.
When it finally arrived for 3 of my party, it was clearly not what we had ordered - the waiter however was adamant that it was correct. He confirmed that the poached salmon was in fact smoked because it was 'brown around the edges'.
However, he declined our offer of £100 if he could actually identify any squid on the plate. Having sworn blind for 10 minutes that we had the correct starters, he finally conceded that the squid may have not been on the plate and went of to get some which arrived separatley and was added to our plates at the table. He did not concede the salmon point however.
I understand that mistakes happen, but what I object to is having to argue the point with a waiter during a business lunch when it was so very clear that something was wrong. To their credit, we were not charged for the starters, but overall the service was terribly slow, we were constantly interrupted for bread, water, more bread etc etc.
For the quality and price, this was the service I am more used to from Zuccato.
