Cantaloupe review by ocean pie
During the Shoreditch revival Cantaloupe was at its hub, it was bustling and vibrant full of interesting people and local characters, now it has more the feel of an All-Bar-One, with an ‘after-work’ crowd on weekday evenings and a town-centre busyness on the weekend.
Having read the other reviews, my comments for the restaurant seem to reflect a common theme. We visited the restaurant for an end-of-the-week works lunch. After trying to attract the waitress’ attention we were told that it was not her ‘section’ and were left in bemused confusion as there were no other waiters / waitresses.
After reluctantly being served, the food was of a no better than average, the menu is mainly limited to gastro burgers and chips and was overpriced. An hour after retiring to the settee area we were told that the table was reserved and asked to move despite the restaurant area being completely empty except for us. The surly attitude of the staff and the refusal of the manageress to recognise our complaint were on a par with the infamous service at Wong Kee’s in Wardour Street but without the novelty factor.
