Staff were rude, patronising and certainly not worthy of a champagne establishment in this part of London. The food was of a poor quality and portions were not generous to say the least. Overall a vey disappointing night.
Warning: do NOT book a function at Amuse Bouche!
We booked the function area on the ground floor 6 weeks in advance, went in to the bar 2 days before to check everything was in order and phoned the day before to confirm details, but when we arrived at 7.30 on the night, we found another function already underway in the area we had reserved.
The staff blamed an ex-staff member for the double booking saying it 'never happened', but one of our guests then told us she had an identical problem with Amuse Bouche for her drinks function last year -
she booked the upstairs area and sent out invitations, but had to reschedule with less than a week's notice when the bar realised they had double booked.
There is clearly a problem with event booking at this venue. As for our evening, we had to hold our drinks in the main bar area.
The manager promised to personally attend to our guests, said he would station another staff member to keep people out of our area (at the end of the bar) and said the owner would be coming to speak to us later in the evening to discuss discounting our bill as compensation, but none of this happened.
Instead, we had other people standing and sitting in our area and even eating our food, a constant stream of people walking to and from the toilets through the centre of our group, the wrong food was brought out twice and the owner did not appear as promised.
As compensation, we were offered a meagre 10% discount!
Helpfully located directly opposite Parsons Green tube station, this is a cosy little place to start your night. Atmosphere was relaxed but the music perhaps a little quiet and could barely be heard over the din of the crowd. My friend had booked a table but I'm guessing if she hadn't we would have been standing so definitely book in advance! Other negatives were the staff ranged from being over-eager to aloof - a happy medium would have been nice and the place was rather hot. The bar is tiny, very busy and has no windows. House champagne was very reasonably priced but watch out for the oh so easy table service as they slap on a cover charge without telling you. Alas, we only realised this at the end of the night. However I really enjoyed myself (being an avid champagne guzzler) and would definitely recommend it for somewhere to go for a few drinks when you have something to celebrate. Classy bt unpretentious - it does what it says on the tin. Just hope the one in Soho is as good!
This place is a gem! Great tasting, reasonably priced champagne poured by good looking staff. Low key music and the best oysters in London - if you're looking for a girls' night out go to this bar. A lot of fun!
Had a fantastic birthday party here - the champagne was flowing. My wallet is suffering more than my head however!
