Good steak, bad booking policy
Having read reviews on other branches of this steak house I was eagerly anticipating making a visit to their Borough restaurant. However was disappointed that I couldn't book a table (apparently it's their policy not to take bookings of anything less than a "group", whatever that means). I do understand that making a booking for a restaurant equals turning up on time, and so was disappointed when 4 of us arrived 7.15 on Tues night, to be told that the wait was 45-50mins!! My fellow diners convinced me to hang around, however after 65mins we were almost ready to walk away, only to be shown to a table after a few evil stares at the "maitre d" (who really needs to be shown the ropes of such a role).
Anyway the food - the steak was good, service not bad either, but in hindsight would I have waited 65min for what we got? Probably not.
Do you think I should risk a meal at Black & Blue Borough?
