Your Reviews of Ha Ha Bar & Grill - O2
Robert Falconer (10 February 2008)
A group of eight of us booked a meal here for 8pm on Saturday 9 Feb 2008. We arrived on time and had a 10 minute wait for our table. When it was ready, the manageress, instead of showing us to our table, merely waved her arm and said, “Your table is down there”.
After our order was taken, by an absolutely charming waiter, we were informed that there would be a forty minute delay due to a problem in the kitchen. We asked to see the manageress and suggested that suitable compensation for the delay would be a plate of nibbles, as we were all ravenous. She repeated three times that she could not provide this as, if she did, she would also have to give the same to every table in the restaurant, which wasn’t actually very full. Without warning, she produced two plates of olives, 6 slices of bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip with bad grace. As there were eight of us in the party, we asked if it would be possible to have another two slices of bread. She replied that they only came in packs of six. She produced the bread anyway again with bad grace.
Our food arrived over one hour after our order though it was absolutely delicious and the service from our waiter was exemplary. After the meal, we got into conversation with some other customers and they were equally dissatisfied with the service they had had.
As we were leaving, the doorman asked if we had had a good evening. We recounted our experience with the manageress and we were informed that this particular lady had upset most of the staff that evening as well. I’m afraid we won’t be returning to this particular restaurant and it is a pity that one bad apple can cause so much damage to a restaurant that deserves better.
