I've eaten at Hush a number of times in the last ten years and unfortunately, each experience has been worse than the last. Initially this was a happening, chic restaurant that was worth its hype, but now it's just trading on its reputation and serving below average food at very serious prices.
My last experience, a month ago was typical. After a morning of shopping, I booked a table for 1:30 because the location was convenient. When we arrived at 1:25, we were told there would be a 5 minute wait and would we like to have a drink in the bar while we wait. Ok. After 20 minutes of walking past ignoring us, the waitress finally took our drinks order. At 5 to two, I approached the girl on the front desk who said that the table was now available. With armfuls of bags, and no spare hands, we had to ask the waitress to carry our drinks to the table. Her reply: ‘Just a minute’ and off she went. After another 5 minutes I had had enough. No table in the sunshine (despite its charmless interior) is worth this much hassle – and anyway I knew the food was going to be underseasoned and badly cooked, as usual. I swiftly made my way to the japanese across the street.
