Dover Street

Just this minute returned from Dover Street. I purchased a Living Social Voucher so as to experience this place. I had to call three times to make the booking. They only cater for so many voucher customers per night and they put on a menu that is just for voucher customers. Therefore you do not get treated like others. They limit how long you can stay. Not impressed at all. I was seated with my back to the band. The whole 'holier than thou' attitude from the time of booking until the end did not sit well with us. The last straw was bullying us to pay service charge of £10.00 plus. My Partner told the waiter he did not want to pay the service charge and then we were challenged by another waiter who wanted to intimidate us to pay and we wanted to exercise our right of choice by law.. He told us that his Manager is not going to be happy. At this point we paid the bill without the service charge. They still added on something extra and we paid and left. The service was not exceptional, just average. We were there to be served. We will not grace them with our presence again.

Will you be showing the champions league matches tonight and tomorow by any chance?

The jamaican door man keep harassing womem and if he is ignore then he wont let them in the next time the want to go to that place. That guy shouldnt be working in a place like that.

25th Feb 2012 - Terrible food, completely overpriced, with an excessive use of hollandaise sauce - it accompanied multiple dishes on the menu randomly. I personally had the sea bass with roasted vegetables. Sea bass lacked flavour, vegetables were not roasted and the it was like the top came off the cinammon on the sweet potato- so much on it!. If you want to feel like you're on a 1980s cruise ship with appalling food, this is the place for you. Anyone with taste, steer well clear.

We went to Dover Street Bar (8-10 Dover Street, London, W1S 4LQ) on Friday 17 Feb 2012. Our plan was some drinks and live music. According to their leaflets the entrance was free before 10pm. Well, it turned out it wasn’t. The bouncer insisted that the bar does not open until 10.15 (yeah, right) and that’s when they start charging for entry (so called ‘music cover’). A VERY RUDE bouncer would not let us in before 10pm because we were not call girls. Our dresses must have given us away. However, we shouldn’t have, but we still came back to the bar after 10.15pm, paid our entry and the same bouncer just kept harassing us at the reception area for no reason, we weren’t even talking to him. The same at the end of the night – we were leaving, collecting our coats and he was still harassing us! He refused to give me his name and then he even covered up his number. The reception girls wouldn’t give me his name and quite frankly it appeared to me that he bullies them as well! A very disgusting individual. And we were not drunk or fighting or being noisy, we are just three rather modest ladies. As for the night, the band was supposed to play songs from 60’ to 90’, but you could hardly hear any familiar tunes. It wasn’t much different to what the DJ played after the band left and he had no clue whatsoever about what to play for the present clientele. The bar’s policy states ‘no trainers’, but I still spotted a guy in trainers, probably the bouncer’s friend, how else would he have missed it.

Beautiful jazzy place, enjoyed the music and the food was excellent, really enjoyed the meal I had fish soup and sea buss and for dessert was cheese cake. Only little disappointed with the service the floor manager named Jimmy was not helpful and rude.

Great place, Had such fun all night,the band was brilliant and the dj kept the party going, Very impressed with the food, the steak was the best ive had in london, 30 years and still going strong well done dover street one of a kind!
