Restaurant of the Week (or not): Del'Aziz

Del'Aziz

Tonight I went for dinner at the middle eastern style restaurant at Westfield, White City, London. 

We decided to go for a selection of starters between us so we could taste lots of different things. The food was delicious, we both really enjoyed it.

However, the big let down was the service, and it let the place down in the extreme. The reason I had picked out this restaurant was because I have a Gourmet Society card and on the website it had a 2 for 1 on main meals at this restaurant. However, despite booking and stating my membership then the evening before I was told when I went to pay that the card wasn't accepted. When I asked to speak to the manager I was given a measly 10% of the bill and there was no sign of the manager. I pushed and finally the manager appeared and proceeded to shout at me and tell me there was nothing he could do, no apology, nothing. 

As you can tell this was not a nice experience and ruined what had been a lovely evening with my friend. Advise...avoid this place like the plague, out of principle if nothing else join with me against REALLY BAD service.

Restaurant of the week: Automat

Restaurant of the week...each week I'm going to review a different London resturant!

Automat

33 Dover Street, Mayfair, W1S 4NF

This great Amercian Brasserie is lovely full of atmosphere and 'theme'. It isn't a cheap restaurant but the food is good quality and they are generous portions. I went for the burger which was beautifuly cooked! Many of my friends went for Macaroni cheese which looked amazing...just be warned drinks are expensive so it is worth sharing wine if you are with someone and if you are in a group a 12.5% service charge is added.

All in all this resaturant is everything you'd expect from a Mayfair restaurant...so I will be reserving it for special occassions but enjoying it if and when I do go back!
