Square Meal Review of Coq d'Argent (bar) ?

The luxuriant roof gardens lend ‘instant glamour’ to post-work drinks at Coq d’Argent’s bar/brasserie, where sharp-looking City suits unwind on the terrace or congregate ‘cheek by jowl’ at the bar. In fine weather, the alfresco grill churns out steaks, tuna & spatchcocked chickens, but there’s also a full lunch menu with a few items filched from the restaurant’s carte: start with a French charcuterie plate before moving on to onglet with caramelised shallots & frites. In the evening, nibbles & light dishes take over as the mood drifts towards drinking. Champagne aside, there’s a decent selection of wine by the glass, plus single malts aplenty & a lengthy cocktail list with some inventive numbers including the ginger frost martini made with Babicka vodka, fresh ginger, Canton liqueur & lemon. Expect queues for the lift at peak times.

    I met a friend here for a drink recently. Though I was greatly looking forward to going there the whole experience was spoilt by the staff who were rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. I had to wait about ten minutes to get a table and not one member of staff approached me in the meantime- even to extend a welcome which I believe is a must in any establishment. Over the course of the evening we had to ask for service every time we needed anything despite there being more than enough waitors on duty to notice empty glasses. We were seated on the roof terrace which is a beautifully calm space inthe middle of teh city. However the staff started to noisely push chairs in under the tables, shut the umbrellas and blow out the table candles around us at about 10pm which was more than a subtle hint that they wanted to go home. We would not have minded moving indoors if it was a case of them wanting to close the area but they did not have the courtesy to ask. It's a shame that what is actually a lovely bar was so spoilt by the staff.
