The Gate St John's Wood

Not the first time we have been to a gate restaurant and was excited to go back, this time with a gift voucher we got as a wedding present. Originally booked for end of April, specified my gift voucher code when booking. Trains were unfortunately cancelled in and out of London that weekend, so I contacted the office and explained this and that I would need to rebook for two weeks time. I then rebooked and again specified my gift voucher code. On arrival, before I was seated, I told them I had a gift voucher I had provided on booking. They said no problem. We ordered two courses and a bottle of wine. Food was nice (not amazing but enjoyable) and it was good atmosphere sat outside in the sun....

Okay where should I start? I actually WAS a fan of this place and have visited several times before. But it was a very disappointing experience this time, a bit of a nightmare. Starting with service, it was super extremely unbelievably genuinely enormously slow..... I got starter in 20 minutes after I ordered which is not bad, but to main from starter, IT TOOK AN HOUR. ACTUALLY MORE THAN AN HOUR. I almost fell asleep. But I tried to understand as it was busy today. However, what was unacceptable was Red curry. They serve curry with rice but rice on my dish was LESS than a SPOONFUL. When I asked about rice, THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE RICE. How should I understand this? Why did they not say th...

The food is good here but when we went on Mother’s Day, there was two waitresses and one really was shockingly poor. When we got new knives and forks she literally threw them on the table with scrunched up tissues. I kept trying to avoid making eye contact with her when we needed anything as her attitude was really poor. She dropped plates onto the table when bringing anything over. I thanked her every time she came over and her response was to just walk away without saying a word. When people eat out they don’t need attitude, if you don’t like what you do… don’t do it and make everyone feel unwelcome.

Maybe they were having an off night, but our dinner here was quite poor. The service was friendly, but very slow, so dinner took more than three hours and it was an hour before we even got the bread and olives we ordered when we arrived. And it was empty. So that was odd. They were also out of about 50% of what we tried to order. Didn’t have two of the wines we wanted, were out of a starter and a main, and half the desserts on the menu weren’t available. Also super expensive. £52 quid each for what was quite mediocre food.

this restaurant opened this week, and when my vegetarian daughter visited, decided to try despite a dedicated omnipresent. now wow, not only my delicious meal veggie, but turned out that it was vegan. all dishes bar a couple can be vegan made, and all weine are vegan. highly recommend that the miso aubergine started and the chocolate dome dessert, but all we had was delicious.
