We live and dine out regularly in London and love seafood, but the party of seven we were treating to a Christmas lunch were really shocked by the strange, surly attitude of our waiter. So much so that my daughter insisted the service charge was removed from the bill at the end. My wife was first to order, after which he suddenly said 'so is that it then?' looking at the rest of us. He then took the rest of our orders with a reluctant aire and immediately left without asking about drinks. One of my party then had to find him to come back and take our drink order, normally done first in other restuarants, the first bottle of wine was served nicely by a girl, when he brought the wine, he poured two glasses, then walked off with it and left it out of sight on a shelf, unattended, at the back of the restuarant for some reason, another of our party then had to find him again to ask where our wine had gone! Very strange behaviour, which really took the edge off of our Christmas reunion sadly.
