St Christopher's Place Cote Brasserie, Full Venue

I normally get the breakfast here but it was okay for somewhere to pop your head into and get a late lunch meal. I've had much better (and bigger) salmon though so that was a little disappointing. The staff and the setting were great though.

I recently booked a New Year’s celebration at St. Christopher’s Place, expecting a festive and leisurely evening similar to the one we enjoyed last year in Covent Garden. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we anticipated. Our reservation was for 10 p.m., and we were looking forward to enjoy a relaxed celebration. However, we were rushed through our meal in an unexpected manner. All four courses were brought to our table within the span of an hour, and by 11 p.m., the staff turned the lights on, signaling the end of our dining experience. This felt abrupt and completely out of sync with the atmosphere we were hoping for. To make matters worse, my dessert was served with cinnamon—an ingredient I’m allergic to—which wasn’t listed on the menu. This oversight was concerning. As the evening progressed, we felt hurried out of the venue, with drinks left unfinished and the celebration effectively cut short. While I understand the staff might wanted to also celebrate, offering a meal at 10 p.m. should have come with the expectation that guests would be able to stay up until the New Year. Very disappointing!
