My Review

3 out of 10 stars
Where to start, we decided to Book up Cafe de Paris for our Christmas Party this year. We did the whole bang shoot, hired the Limo, dressed up in our glitz & glam etc...it started off very well. The Entrance was absolutely gorgeous & the hostess was lovely. She showed us to our table (the dance floor had been converted into the seating area) and it really looked lovely...that's where it ended!!
The waiting staff were so unfriendly, I'm sure I even heard one 'shoosh' a guest at the table. Our food was brought out by a guy who looked like he was doing a 'deer in the headlight' impression and it was brought out in drips & drabs. We had to beg for the wine that we had pre-ordered & we had to eat to a timescale. In fact, our one guest left to use the toilet and came back and they had removed his chair in order to clear the dance floor, he had to stand for 10 minutes while the rest of us finished up. We then had a problem with the bill, which was sorted out at a later stage although it did feel like quite a fight even though we had spent lots of money (must say the lady who did the Initial email reservations was brilliant and she cleared things up later in the week). We then moved up to the VIP area, I have to say that this was good service. We did have a dedicated lady who looked after us the rest of the evening serving us drinks in style etc so for that & the Initial reservations staff I'll give it two stars. I just think for all the money spent, the food is mediocre & the waiting staff are unfriendly (an explanation being that they work very hard, yes we work hard too which is why we deserved a nice Christmas Party)! There may be other places more suitable for a good night...PS: In the bathroom, I overheard a lady say that they had spent over £1000.00 on dinner and went to the bar/seating area for a drink but were then being asked to leave if they didn't buy more booze...NICE!!!
