Quo Vadis

My partner & I took advantage of the set lunch earlier today after reading great reviews. Seated among the `expense account` customers and a sprinkling of luvvies we quickly realised that to get a decent meal in this establishment we would have to pay considerably more than the £17.50 for 2 courses plus service charge and an attempt to divest us of £2 p.p for some bread and butter. Now, this is not a vast sum BUT the food simply wasn`t worth it. Tasteless starters and quite poor main courses were offered but no enquiry made as to why they weren`t finished. We do take advantage of special offers made at some of London's finest restaurants and most are superb and those are the ones we revisit at other times. I`m afraid that the phrase `emperor`s new clothes` is the one that comes to my mind here. Still, it was a good excuse to conplete our dining experience at Chez Bertaux with a coffee and a magnificient pastry!
