Review Guy's American Kitchen and Bar New York

Service just does not exist, left for over 20 minutes before even a drink order was taken, then waited another 20 minutes for someone to come and take my food order, site was not even that busy!!


Food order was eventually taken some 40 minutes after being seated. If i had not been on holiday or so knackered i would have walked out long before this and gone elsewhere.

When my meal was finally delivered, everything came at the same time 2 appetizers and main course no rest, no break, no check back, rush them in rush them out and just count the dollars, such a shame when the food is so good, really ruins your night. Would not take the burger away and let me eat appetizers in peace. Dreadful customer service all round.


Somewhere not to return! Come on Guy make the whole experience worth while or repeat business will just fall away


The only saving grace for you was the joyful guy on the door, who sees you in what a character !!



Review Barbecoa - London

Second visit here and had I been paying I would have been very annoyed

Arrived nice and early for drinks in the bat, Virgin Mary very spicy but good, all wine very good. We sat about 30 minutes late as one of the party was late.

Pork scratchings and smoked nuts tried in bar, both ok although scratching needed salt

Orders taken all ok so far, pre meal bites ie breads delivered after starters not my idea of a pre lunch bite

Sweetbread starter very poor sauce too sweet and sweetbreads were tough
Pâté very good
Crab salad seen better in seaside restaurant this just looked like a plate of mess
Chicken wings and ribs all ok

Chateaubriand tender but absolute no taste, same for fillets, T-bone steak no better

All steaks were either over or under cooked, if they truly are aged then someone is doing it wrong because there was nothing different with these steaks than a standard supermarket one

Sides very poor- mac cheese no cheese and no sauce, mushrooms awful,Brussels sprouts even worse

Come on Jamie If you are selling yourself on the best steaks in London you have to do better than this- aged I am not so sure and if they are then they don't taste like it

You can get better for a lot cheaper
