Identity Crisis
Oh Dear. What a disappointment. This place is has a bit of an identity crisis on its hands. It is not clear whether it is a bar, a club or a restaurant.
I went to Volt with 16 people the day after it opened on the recommendation of its owners, who are the owners of Noura, the Lebanese restaurant next door which happens to be one of my absolute favourite restaurants in London. Unfortunately our dinner ended up being a very frustrating experience. We booked a table to have a nice and pleasant diner but we spent most of the evening wondering why there were so many people standing and walking around us.
That being said, the dcor is fabulous and glamorous. the food was acceptable it arrived a little late but was hot and eatable. Nothing to really right home about.
All in all, the only enjoyable part of the evening was the attention, helpfulness and general positive attitude of our Waiter, Ray.
Would only go again if they separated the dining area from the bar area
