Hakkasan Mayfair (17 Bruton Street, London, London, W1J 6QB) My girlfriend and I went to Hakkasan at the weekend, Our table was booked for 21.00pm, we arrived half an hour early as we wanted to try out the bar, as soon as we got there we were told the the table is ready and we can be escorted straight to the table. This surprised me as I have been to Hanway place and normally you have to wait atleast 15- 20 minutes before being seated, this told me the restaurant isnt as busy as expected. I had to be firm with the receptionsits as she wasnt taking no for an answer, we sat at the bar which is very pleasing to the eye and gives you a good overview of the upstairs restaurant. my girlfiend ordered a floating goddess cocktail , which was really delicious , my strawberry cocktail was a disapointment , a cheap strawbwerry dacquri with a fancy name and no alcohol!! We moved downstairs, there were a few empty tables so try your luck last minute you might get in! The sommelier topped up my wine glass with a milimetre of wine and then proceeded to walk away , he looked at me in shock when I ask if he could return and pour a little more into my glass. Overall the food was excellent and so was the service, the drinks let it down for me.
