The food was great but the service was poor - We were ignored repeatedly. After our main course we had to keep trying to attract the waiters attention.

Sadly our experience got off to a disappointing start as when we got to the host, we were told that there was no record of our booking, although luckily they were able to seat us in the end. They told us they didn’t use OpenTable, which was strange. The food and drinks were quite expensive (£5 for a Diet Coke and £7 for edamame with salt) and the menu is quite limited. However, the food was served quite quickly and it was good on the whole. Unfortunately some of the servers were also quite rude. It came to £80 and we didn’t even have any alcoholic drinks or a great deal of food but it was convenient for a pre-theatre meal (it’s a shame they don’t have any kind of pre-theatre set menus that are better value for money).

Very tasty and delicious. Portions are small and it’s all a little pricey. But that’s Covent garden for you.

Excellent service, we had the lobster noodle, wasn’t all that, lobster was stuck in its shell and covered with what it looked like honey glaze, prawns and chicken buns were good.

Very nice food. A little bit confusion about our food, and whom had ordered it, but in the end, everything worked out and was really good. A bit expensive, but very good taste and service.
