Rules (35 Maiden Lane, London, WC2E 7LB) Went to the restaurant for the first time for a dinner with my boyfriend on Thursday and was very very disappointed. We got deer terrine and fried goat cheese as starters and venison ossobuco and grilled sirloin steak as main courses (recommended by the waiter). Food was awful, extremely low quality (meat was hard and bad tasting, sauces very bland and and again bad tasting) very poor presentation – definitely not what you expect from the oldest restaurant in London as food was similar to Tesco precooked one . Also, the room was particularly cold and we could not manage to get it warmer even asking to the waiter to do something about it. Service was less the average. Overall a really bad experience – upsetting and disappointing to say the very least. Absolutely not worth the money they charge you. Awful. Never again.
