Bazv's Qype profile

Very poor experience. Cannot recommend. Went into the restaurant at 6.30pm this evening and asked for a table for four. My wife and my 5 and 3 yr old daughter both well behaved and well dressed. I am a partner at a city law firm and my kids routinely eat out. The waiter looked us up and down and (presumably after deciding that he did not like the look of us) said they were fully booked. The restaurant was practically empty (about 4 tables in use). We were finally offered a table out the back which was the only table which had not been laid. We were told that all the other tables were booked for within the next 30 minutes to 1 hour. The table was poorly located and the staff extremely unfriendly. We left the restaurant as we did not wish to eat at the worst table in it nor frankly give our custom to such an undeserving bunch (and ate at a nice pub 100 yds up the road The Lock and Barrel). After a very nice meal at the Lock and Barrel we walked past the Last Viceroy Of India restaurant to see if (as we had been told) it was indeed full. It was not. in fact about a third of the tables remained empty. I went back into the restaurant that I would leave them a very poor review on Qype for lying that they had no tables. The staff response was to smirk. I've given it one star but frankly it doesn't even deserve that.

Also found this press article on the place. I think it speaks for itself.
