    Tried to order lime and soda drink and the attendee didn’t know what I meant , they said they didn’t have lime cordial and brought my freshly squeezed lemon juice instead … eventually after going to the bar opposite I received what I asked for. Suggest more training for staff

    Food was very nice Scallops and crab salad for starters filled by Sirloin Steak and Chicken Terrine but hazelnut tart was really sweet and waiting staff did not know how to make an Irish Coffee but the Maitre D came to the rescue and even though we did not ask he removed the coffees and dessert from our bill and provided us with two correctly made Irish Coffees so I have to say I was well impressed with the service overall I would definitely eat here again

    We were 15 minutes late for our 6 pm booking but this wasn’t a problem for the restaurant. We had the £25 pre theatre 2 course menu. Very tasty food, although my roasted chicken breast was a little dry, but overall it was still very good. Table service was great. Lovely waitress. As it was pre theatre we asked for prompt service, which we got. Nice and quiet so we could chat comfortably. Definitely recommend.

    The meal was very nice and the service was good, however, and I accept that waitresses are there to see more, but we were told that the side orders were only small and not enough for two persons and we there ordered a second one. When they arrived this was not the case and one would have been enough, and we therefore left half of each, my question is, why lie to us?
    Brasserie JoelResponded on 14 October 2024
