David's Reviews

Lunch today, Salmon en-croute, the en-croute was soft and uninspiring, the salmon was tasteless, the apple dessert appeared to have been made long before it was served. My lunch partners steak looked as though it had been sitting undrr a hot-plate for a little while, it looked dry and brown outside. The service comprises several youths who were clearly jolly good friends and enjoyed eyeing up the female customers.
Disappointing, the decor is lopsided with metal spirals and large expanses of white walls, strange…
I shall look at other venues in future.

I visited Roast with a guest for a late lunch. The food was good but a lunch from Roast set us back £170 (admitedly with a £40 bottle of wine), even so three courses for £170 is quite a mouthful.

The food was ok, and the service is another story. We were around the only table left in the restaurant and yet Roast staff left us with our main course empty plates for around 20 minutes before they were removed. We had to summon a miserable looking waitress whose eyes shot to the top of her head as if saying why me, why should I clean the table, we complained, unfortunately the restaurant manager was unhelpful when we questioned his staff's manner, by this point the miserable waitress had uttered her disgust to other members of staff, in our eye-line. I wrote to the service team who fobbed me off with some lame cliches without telling me how they were going to deal with the situation – appalling service from start to finish.

My advice remove the 17.5% service charge from the bill…
