Langan’s Coq d’Or Bar & Grill

Junglefresh. ( Male, United Kingdom )

OK, well I love Odins and have been going there for years and years ! I arranged to meet my wife at this venue last Thursday night as I had to attend professionally at what promised to be a very fractious meeting close by, which I hoped to be able to leave in time for dinner. So I was hoping to go somewhere which would help me leave behind what I expected to be feelings of deep concern and irritation. As can be seen from the rating, LB&G certainly succeeded on all fronts – which is great. Why ? When we arrived, the people in front of house knew that I was a regular at Odins (one tick), we were shown to a well-placed table with an excellent view towards the restaurant and given a glass of champagne (another tick) – which other diners were also offered. What a great way to beat the credit crunch ! Service was ultra-attentive and friendly – though not at all obsequious (tick three) and the food very much in the Langan's mould – tasty, well cooked, not mean and thoroughly enjoyable (tick four). Add to that the Langans ambience of eccelectic largely Edwardian (I think) paintings – my wife and I particularly admired a discreet nude on the Northen wall – and there you have it. A happy ending to a trying day.
