La Crema in City of London, Westminster

Gaurav era un camarero fabuloso. Amable y servicial. Nos cuidó tan bien. Nos sentimos como en casa. ¡El mejor barman de Londres!

Terrible service! We waited half an hour for the menu, another almost an hour for the meal and at the end it turned out that there was no coffee because the machine was broken!!!

We had booked a London afternoon tea at The terrace. Unfortunately it was a very poor experience. The sandwiches were not tasteful, the scones were hard and dry and the sweets looked like pastries but consisted mainly of chocolate and were extremely hard and sweet. They looked nice but tasted like nothing. We only liked the tea. So in the end it was an expensive and rather disappointing afternoon. They won’t see us anymore at The Dilly.

The staff brilliant, the atmosphere welcoming, the food delicious.

Our party had heard good things about Temper. We left disappointed, straight after the mains, having even returned some of them. Our complaints are as follows: - We were told dishes were for sharing, but most came out with just two portions - The allergy menu was like trying to navigate Sherlock Holmes' mind palace: we were told half the things on the allergen menu weren't always available at that branch, so we had to spend ages cross checking the allergen list against the menu. Why not just have allergens for that branch on the menu? - The guac was flavourless. Literally no seasoning/spice/garnish/lemon/lime. Nothing! - Two bowls of beef fat potatoes had obviously been reheated, badly, as they were cold in the middle. Others were just burnt. They tasted awful and we returned them. - The tacos came plopped on some prawns, sodden in sauce, making it impossible to wrap them. The tacos themselves tasted stale. - The cocktails - daiquiri and margaritas - were tasty but not cold. - When several of us complained during the meal, to then be charged £30 for service tells you this place just has contempt for their customers. The redeeming feature-ish was the aged beef nachos. The whole experience cost us £55 a head and we left frustrated and eager for somewhere different to finish our evening. Maybe it was the hype that ruined it, or maybe they were having a bad night, but this place is not value for money. I now see the owner only responds to positive reviews, and many others had similar complaints to us.
