It did not sit well with the netizens who showed their displeasure in the comments section.
Absolutely ridiculous.. Can’t believe anybody can justify these prices just because its a London restaurant..15% service charge
.. Bet you the staff are only on the living wage..
This isn’t value for money, this is extortion!!— Bonnywail (@Bonnywail1) September 29, 2021
The restaurant is rated 2.5/5 on Google reviews. Some of the one-star reviews are just people trolling but others have posted their bills worth a grand. I don’t know who to blame, the restaurant for being a con or these people for having more money than sense. Let’s blame both.
