Beach Blanket Babylon (45 Ledbury Road, London, London, W11 2AA) One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time.This restaurant made me so angry that I am not even going to waste my time writing down and ranting about the experience. Here is a summary. -Maître d’ was patronizing and condescending. -Waiters were argumentative and rude. One of the waiters argued with my partner about what she had seen on the menu (my partner was indeed correct) and then seemed indignant that it must be a new addition and no-one had ‘bothered to inform him’. -The restaurant messed up out booking time – 9:30pm, claiming we had to sit down at 9:00pm as the kitchen would be closing soon. Utter nonsense as we saw people being seated up to 10:30pm. -Asking to have butter with the bread seemed to be a problem. -Food was bland and lacking flavour. -Service was abysmal and un-attentive. I don't recall out wine being topped up on a single occasion. -Bill was incorrect and we were charged for items (cocktails) that we never ordered. You could not even pay me to return this place. Incredibly disappointing. Avoid at all costs.
