   We arrived a bit earlier and we stayed at the bar to wait for our table. We enjoyed a nice cocktail and it was nice to watch other cocktails been prepared. The lady preparing them was very good, nuce and friendly. Time passed by until we realised they had forgotten about us. As soon as we made them aware they gave us a nice table and as a gesture, there was no charge for the drinks we already had. They took our order in no time. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere very nice and enjoyable. The service was also very nice and this made us forget the little oversight that happened at the beginning. All the people working there were extremely kind and pleasant. We will definitely go back.

   Had to get up and find someone to take our order after waiting for 40 minutes Service and attitude was not good in comparison to previous visits - not in a hurry to revisit

   We loved every minute., However a fixed 13:5% service charge seems too much.

   Reserved a table - my favourite (402). Turned-up, and, because they had a better booking, I was relegated to another table with my guest. Surely, when a regular requests a table well in advance, Quod should honour that booking? To turn up, and to expect the table that one has booked, and then to be turned away is unacceptable. If I had have been forewarned, I would have booked elsewhere.

   Many thanks for your feedback. I am sorry to hear we were unable to accommodate you on your usual table. As a restaurant we endeavour to meet our guests every request. Unfortunately this is not always possible as we have to accommodate parties of various sizes and sometimes requests for the same table. I concede prior notification would have been beneficial in this case. I do hope this experience doesn't deter you from thinking of us in the future. With thanks, Joe Brown - Restaurant Manager.

    Disappointing. Been eating at Quod for years, usually a good experience. Standards are falling and prices are rising. took a long time to get service though the order once placed, came reasonably quickly. My order came minus 2 significant elements which had to be brought on the side. the chicken liver parfait was tasteless, which salt could not improve and the pizzetta unexciting and the flavour dull. Charges are now high, but further, the service charge is 13.5% which is difficult to refuse - this is too high for an overall cover charge. Unless I hear of real improvement i won't go again.

    Thank you for your review. I'm disappointed to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. I would also like to apologize that the dish you ordered came with two missing elements, this should not have happened. I have passed your feedback to rest of our management team. I do hope that you will give us another try soon. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Undine, Restaurant Manager
