Sarah's Reviews

As far as department store restaurants go, this is probably as good as it gets. We opted for the set market dinner menu which at £24.50 for 3 courses including half a bottle of wine felt like really good value. There wasn't a huge amount of choice but the food was well prepared and the service was polite and friendly. The restaurant is comfortably stylish but it's hard to escape the feeling that one is still in a department store. But then it is Harvey Nichols and that really isn't anything to complain about.

As we had noticed the once very high standards at Lindsay House slipping, we were keen to find out whether all Richard Corrigan’s attention was now being focused on Corrigan's Mayfair. After a very warm welcome we were then shown, presumably because we had opted for the Top Table menu, to a very remote table in a distant dark corner. We were then assured that they would make every effort to look after us that evening, and were promptly abandoned. The menu itself was very limited and unexciting, and after being ignored for some considerable time we had to resort to waving and shouting in order to attract some attention. The food was well cooked but the small portions required side dishes at additional cost to the set menu. We continued to feel overlooked as the evening progressed, and we had to call for the waiter’s attention each time. Both a cover charge and a service charge were added to our bill. As we weren’t happy with the service, we asked if this could be deducted to which we were told “no”. As we left we were politely asked if we had enjoyed our evening. We replied that this was not really the case, the only consolation was an “oh dear, would you like a taxi”.
