Mubasher's review of Automat

This place displays the worst characteristics of restaurants in Mayfair- poor food, expensive, bad attitude.

On phoning for a reservation I was told they were very busy but they can squeeze us in. We turn up and the place is empty. We ask to sit at a booth which are all empty and are told we can't. They remain empty throughout our stay. The waiters were rude. 10 minutes after ordering we are told that they can't do what we asked for. The food is passable- the muffins in the eggs Benedict were burnt, the hollandaise had split and all overpriced. Avoid.
