    If we had not already seen the menus on the website, we would never have been offered the set or vegan menus which had attracted us to the place - so we kicked off with the feeling they wanted to keep some options a secret. That aside, we were looked after fine. Our table of 7 were the ONLY customers in the place all evening. It was perfect for a quiet chat, which was exaclty what we wanted and it was clean and bright with the tables spread out and lots of space. However the place seriously lacked atmosphere. My spinach salad was tasty enough, and the pasta fine. Would not rule out going again.

    I was disappointed that the waiter did not offer us the set menu, but did other customers. He only offered us bottled water at £5.50!!! But other customers had the offer of free tap water. The food was very nice, just a shame about the customer service, very disappointing.
    Bloomsbury St. LoungeResponded on 10 May 2024
    Dear Guest, We deeply regret to hear about your recent dining experience at Scoff and Banter. Providing an enjoyable and equal dining experience to all our guests is at the heart of what we do, and it's clear we fell short during your visit. We appreciate kind words about our food, but we also understand that good customer service is integral to a truly pleasant dining experience. We normally we do offer our set menu, when guest make reservation with Our Set menu and we always provide as well when guest request for it. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the oversight regarding the menu and water options. We will review your feedback with our team to ensure this does not occur in the future. Looking forward to welcome you back soon. Best regards, Scoff and Banter Management Team
