MC's review of Yauatcha

Visited this restaurant a few years ago and had a reasonably good evening so thought it worth another go. Made a reservation for 8-15 on a Friday and received a message the day before confirming the booking for Saturday – not a good sign! This was rectified and I was told to arrive promptly at the restaurant due to time restrictions imposed on each sitting.

On arrival we were told that the table was just being laid up and that we should wait and look at the menu. There is no bar area to wait so you stand awkwardly in the way of the door – no one offered to take coats or provide a drink. Fifteen minutes later I checked with the waitress whether or not the table had been laid and she said that it was still occupied and that people were paying the bill. So previous excuses had been lies…

I was not willing to wait any longer and said that we would be leaving. This caused a smirk coupled with a mumbled sorry … I’m sure they had no trouble filling the table which is why they don’t value their customers whatsoever.
