Wahaca (66 Chandos Place, London, WC2N 4HG)

Long long queue…staff not overly attentive when you are sat down but it is quick and the food is quite nice.

Cape Town Fish Market (Sutherland House, 5-6 Argyll Street, London, W1F 7TE)

We went here for a nice fancy lunch. We read on the website that we had to book and book we did- there was no need to do this as there were only 2 other tables of diners…at a half term tuesday.

The teppenyaki at lunch time does not allow you to sit at a teppenyaki table.

When pouring the wine, the waiter just lashed it all into a glass without letting us taste it- we would not normally care but this was a mid range bottle of wine.

Our waiter had problems understanding the difference between a starter and a main. When ordering we had to tell him about 4 times what was a starter and what was a main. He then came back 10 minutes later and informed us there was no kingclip… We then got our veggie tempura which still had dry flour between the batter and the veg.

After the starters, it took 10 minutes before the waiter came back and asked me again what I had ordered, pointing to the wrong section of the menu…when he was told twice it was a teppenyaki order. The poitje was tasteless, the teppenyaki did not have a 220g steak as advertised. The waiter did not even notice that we needed more forks and knives. Also, a finger bowl had to be requested when both members of the party were eating messy shell fish and a different waiter had to be asked for the vegetables which accompanied the teppenyaki.

The bill came and had 12.5% service added to it (standard in most places) so we left no additional tip- as we did not have the exact money we had to wait on our change- the waiter came back and counted it out coin by coin- this was rather rude.

Overall, i would not waste my money or time going here. They need to sort out their staff and their prices…
