Bonfire

I have never experienced service as bad as this. In a party of 6, my food arrived 30 mins after everyone else’s. The other food already took 40 mins to arrive. Our drinks arrived 30 mins after we ordered them and were incorrect. They then arrived in another 30 mins and they were incorrect again. The blind fell from the window and hit one of our party — members of staff were oblivious.
The worst part of this was that all of the staff answered our issues with excuses — the main one was «well, I didn’t know about any of these issues until now, so what do you want me to do». They were so rude. They didn’t even apologise.
The restaurant wasn’t busy in the slightest and they had 5 chefs working.

The food is great. I highly suggest the squeaky cheese, a nice thick piece of cooked halloumi. If you eat in you get a view of the fountain area of the barbican, which you can never complain about.
They do take-​away… or at least… they can put your food in a box, but give you a fork, but dont’t expect a knife. (Tip for take-​away, head down one floor to the Beungo café for a decent plastic knife). I’ve been here a couple of times now and both times I’ve found the staff to be rather dismissive and somewhat irritated with my presence/​ordering, or wanting to order. Which is very sad because its a nice place with nice food.
