Heather's Reviews

I was slightly disappointed with this when I took my partner there for our anniversary last year. We were seated at a table near the door so not the most romantic of settings and the service was very slow. The restaurant was empty and the next couple that entered were sat next to us and talked ‘business’ in very loud voices – my hints to the staff to be moved were ignored. The food however was very tasty and authentic (those who have been to Thailand will know this), so if you like Thai food then I would recommend it to you. Be prepared for a hefty drinks bill – make sure you ask for a small amount of ice in your drink! The ladies toilets are something to be seen – take a camera with you, it's amazing! There is a downstairs lounge that looks sumptuous and comfortable, if the drinks were a bit cheaper we would have been tempted to spend the evening there. If you don't know where it is, keep your eyes peeled as it is easy to miss.

What can I say – food is perfect always, served within 10 minutes and very cheap. If you don't mind sitting on a hard wooden bench in a row then I would highly recommend it. I have no negative comments about this restaurant chain (they even took out the onions from my dish upon my request)

We took my parents to Coq D'Argent for their wedding anniversary two weeks ago. The staff treated us like VIPs and were very attentive and professional. All three courses were nicely presented and served prompty, the portions were smallish but after 3 couses we were all full. My only criticism of the food was that the soup (lobster bisque) was too salty for me. I would recommend the sirloin steak for two to share – it was perfectly cooked and delicious. The wine I ordered was not in stock so one of the staff suggested an alternative based on my preferences and his choice was spot-on (and it was half the price of the one I originally chose!) I have visited the Brasserie before but this was my first time in the restaurant and I have nothing but praise for the staff. It is expensive to splash out on three courses with wine but it is really worth it, they have a cheaper set menu which looked very good also. This is a good place to take a group of people as you can have a conversation across the table without being drowned out by music, the decor is very smart with long white tablecloths and the toilets were spotless.
I took a client to the Brasserie a couple of summers ago, we were glad we chose to eat there as the steak and chips was excellent, it is much cheaper than the restaurant but the food is still fabulous. Afterwards we sat outside in the garden with a few glasses of Pimms and had a thouroughly civilised afternoon.
