DO NOT COME HERE.
I’d give it 0 stars if I could. Staff were extremely rude, especially the manager(?) who kept wanted us to buy more drinks. It was a birthday treat for myself and my friend and we stayed no longer than 30 minutes. We wanted to enjoy the jazz, as being the staple of the night, we came. Firstly we ordered drinks which were okay, then as soon as we finished them he said ‘do you want more drinks’ and being a person who doesn’t really drink I said not now. Then he said if we wanted the bill and pointing towards the door. And that “people were lining up outside” so that we needed to leave. He clearly wanted us to spend more money the whole 30 minutes we were there. (The £4.50 handful of pretzels weren’t great either) He asked us many times if we wanted the bill. We couldn’t even enjoy the music without being asked and we decided it was best to leave. It’s a shame as it is a great venue with great talent - but it doesn’t mean anything when having awful rude service unfortunately.
If you, the manager or anyone that is reading this - then please be aware that there is no set amount to spend at a place, and that you are lucky to have people at your venue. Manners help as...
Read moreThere are moments in life where you remember the cocktail you had… the way it tasted… how it was more than you could imagine - the perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness and alcohol. That memory is the litmus test you use every time you order that cocktail… yet it’s never the same and can’t compare… The Petite Cafe absolutely knows cocktails - classic as well as modern. Ask Giorgos for a rum old fashioned… Your blown away… Ask Hanna for her interpretation of Trinidad Sour… it’s the best Angostura based cocktail you have ever tasted. You will order another again and again,
The food is appropriate; small bites like cheese board, mixed nuts or the blistered peppers. Couple it all with a wide selection of cocktails and wine. The setting is intimate yet lively.
It’s the atmosphere. It’s the bartenders. It’s their curiosity and desire to provide a unique experience… again one that will rarely be measured up to.
This is my absolute favorite place in the...
Read moreWas a lovely place with excellent cocktails and an incredible atmosphere. The man who took our drinks was extremely fun and slightly quirky which just enhanced the experience all around. However, as we were leaving I felt quite hot in the face (Asian blush ha) and I needed to splash some water on my face. I went to get a glass from my table as the bathroom was occupied and a girl had taken them from the table to clean it. I thought “no bother” and decided to pour a small amount into my hand to relieve my face. She immediately, in front of everyone and loudly, announced that “next time you can ask for a glass, you need to respect this establishment”. A terribly dramatic thing to say I believe but I suppose she was feeling down that day. Either way I don’t believe she should be working at a job she doesn’t like and I hope she feels better soon. Otherwise...
