What a very, very special evening we had last night at Mr Chow. The food was delicious, impeccable, faultless; the wines delicious. The service however must really take pride of place. I had forgotten what it's like to be served so wonderfully professionally - and my party were in full agreement. Sadly, it is very rare these days to have restaurant service from people who take pride in their work and ensuring that guests have a good time. Yes, Mr Chow is expensive, but like the ad says - it's worth it.

I love Coya but my last visit left a sour taste in my mouth. We were a group of 4 we ordered the tasting menu just over £100 per person. After desert we asked for 2 espresso they REFUSED to serve us the requested espresso because we had just gone over the allocated 2 hour time allocation !! How long does it take to serve 2 espresso
