Balls Brothers (Bishopsgate)

We stumbled across this restaurant while wandering about waiting for the train. We had a bad experience at another one of Balls Brothers restaurants so were a bit reluctant to go down into the basement. We did anyway and what a surprise. The staff were friendly, the bar area was very inviting and comfortable. We ordered an excellent bottle of CJ Pask white wine and a platter to share of mixed meats, pork pie, cheese and pickles. This was served very quickly and it was all very tasty. We could not manage a dessert as the main course was so big. This is one place we will return to.

The Great Wall

We ate at this chinese restaurant after reading rave reviews. Other people are not wrong. This was an excellent restaurant. The place is quite small compared to how it looks outside. We were made very welcome and shown to a nice table for two at the side of the room. The food was amazing. The choice was excellent. The portions were substantial. We over ordered totally. The staff were really pleasant and nothing was a bother to them. The food came out quick and very hot even though it was pulled up on a dumb waiter. The overall experience was well worth the money.

Balls Brothers (Hay's Galleria)

My husband & I went to the Balls Brother Restaurant Hays Galleria on Wednesday 7th May at 8.15pm. We went to the bar and asked for a table for two and were told by the waitress that they were not taking any more bookings. This would have been fine if the place was busy ,but it was not. There were a few diners but the majority of tables were empty and fully laid for dinner. The waitress saw we surprised at this and a bit annoyed so she said, if you want I could ask my manager if you are able to eat! We told her not to bother as we were obviously not welcome. We were annoyed as the night before we had been and looked at a menu and spoken to the staff on the outside bar of this restaurant and were told we would be able to eat the following night and it was not neccesary to book. I could understand this attitude if we went in late and they were about to finish but 8.15pm I feel is fairly early for London eating.
