Afternoon Tea at Barbecoa Piccadilly

We dined at the location near St. Paul's and we were thoroughly impressed. Our waiter was excellent and the service was outstanding. We would return tomorrow if only we lived closer.

We were not informed that the restaurant was going to be closed and only realized it when we arrived.

We approached the restaurant to see from the window that no one was inside which was worrying. I was put off and contemplated finding another restaurant. Called to ask if they was even open and turns out you have to enter and go downstairs. First impression wasn't great. Service was okay and the restaurant looked nice. I ordered the Fillet medium rare, what came was not medium rare but more medium well done, my wife ordered the chicken which was lovely. I was offered a replacement but I didn't want to wait whilst my wife had eaten her food.

Amazing service by our waiter, he was attentive, gave great personal recommendations and made us feel looked after while giving us space. Food was delicious, well presented and we at no point felt like we were waiting or being rushed. All in all we had a lovely time, no complaints here.

The service was poor and the food quality was awful. The steak we ordered was tough and difficult to chew.
