Patara (Fulham Rd) review by Genevieve
I agree the food is very very good... and yes there is a BUT...
I went there for lunch y'day and decided to partake of the Set Menu - which is not bad value at all for Chelsea! As the weather was so hot, I wanted something light-ish for the main course. I was advised that I could have 2 starters instead of choosing a starter & a main course, if I so wished.
I chose the thai fish cakes & the prawn & lemongrass salad (both starters). The fish cakes were delicious.. truly.
The prawn & lemongrass salad was also very good. I popped in my second (small-ish) prawn, only to find that THAT was it. TWO PRAWNS!!
Like any sensible person, I called over the waiter and, trusting that a simple mistake had occurred, and advised him of this fact. He went away & brought over, I think it was the Manager, who advised me that, not only did the prawn & lemongrass salad as a starter only have TWO prawns, but if you order it from the a la carte, as a main course, you will get not TWO, but yes, THREE whole prawns. (Incidentally another waiter did bring me a further TWO prawns, whilst this was being explained to me....)
Sorry, not impressed.
