Floridita (100 Wardour Street, London, London, W1F 0TN) Do not go to this dreadful place. It should be great in theory, though expensive (£30 for 4 drinks c. £50 meal) but extremely poor management ruins the whole thing. We booked a table for 9.30pm (2nd sitting) 2months previously. We had drinks upstairs first but when we went down to Floridita, there was a terrible crush and we were kept hanging around for over an hour, being shoved about, until eventually we were shown a “waiting area” – under the stairs and next to the kitchen, unable to dance or get sorted or get drinks easily. Management and staff apologised and then got irritated and we got very frustrated. They were unable to provide the basic service of getting us to our table on time or with a reasonable delay. There seemed to be no 1 manager in charge or anyone who knew what was going on. By the time we were seated – at 10.45pm, some of the group had no time to eat and the whole evening was ruined. They advertise dinner and dancing – we weren't able to do either! Try Dover Street Wine Bar instead – much more professional, good food and courteous.
