Cheryl's review of Great Queen Street

It was a disappointing evening. I don't like it when restaurants tell you how long you have, but they were upfront about this when I booked, so that was fair enough. And we found the service efficient and our waitress was very clued up about how things were cooked. They don't stock slimline drinks which I thought was odd, but the real disappointments were the limited menu and the quality of the food. It's not an extensive menu and 3 or 4 of the items were only available for 2 or more people. I ordered ‘lamb with prunes and ratatouille’. Amazingly, the lamb arrived covered with some kind of batter or breadcrumbs which masked fatty, almost inedible meat, the ratatouille was swimming in oil and the prunes were cold. My friend's cold pork with tuna was uninspiring and she left half of it. The desserts were great though. In short – overpriced, uninspiring food in a restaurant that thinks its much better than it actually is. But when we were there it was packed – maybe with lots of people that only eat there once? I will certainly be amongst them.
