The Salusbury

I have lived near The Salusbury for close on 6 years and watched in despair as the establishment has gone from a breath of fresh air in the area to an over-priced and, quite frankly, dirty bar. Last time I visited, no tables seem to have been cleared for quite some time and the staff, as is often the case in the 'cooler' bars of NW6 and environs, seem to feel they are hanging out at a friend's place, rather than serving food and drinks.

Boat House Restaurant

I visited this restaurant last Wednesday as had read favourable reviews on this site. With this in mind, my friend and I decided to try it out. I'd like to be able to comment on the food and ambience but, alas, I was ejected before ordering. I consider myself a patient man and, having worked in the restaurant trade , am conscious of the teething problems that can befall a new place. I would have had no issue with that.

However, the surly welcome afforded us, our having to beg the manager for a drink whilst we waited for our table and the '15 minute wait' growing closer to 30 minutes with no explanation given all combined to make this one of my least pleasurable evenings of recent months.

To cap it all, we were thrown out of the restaurant as I had the 'audacity' to firmly but politely challenge the level of service.
