Visited San Giorgio in the past week one evening and it was fairly busy.Great food but the rest is downhill absolutely no hospitality. Not what one would say acceptable behaviour and attitude by owner Giorgio very unprofessional . Observed rudeness to staff and not polite tone and manner to customers, we actually lost count how many times he raised his voice to two waiters who were absolutely rushing around in the restaurant while we were seated and also talking down to customers in a aggressive manner on occasion because he seemed completely stressed out, not exactly the type of hospitality that customers want to experience when you come to relax and enjoy and pay for a decent meal and service. We were recommend this restaurant by our friends who are well known in the football industry at the football association and FIFA and as I act as legal counsel on occasion for the football industry . They recommended the restaurant and informed me the the owner is well known to them for many years and normally have relaxing lunches at San Giorgio for privacy as it is convenient and local. Great food no doubt but we won’t be back and to see staff scared of their boss and absolutely micromanaged and being watched over every second is something i and my guests were shocked to see. The table adjacent to ours told us they are regulars and normally it is no such a tense atmosphere when busy and not as bad not as it was on our visit as their son is normally there and is more organised and calmer but unfortunately his son was off when visited . We won’t be back and nothing more to it. There are many great restaurants in London where service and hospitality is far better. No doubt great food at San Giorgio but that is the only great thing.Maybe because our friends our are well known in football industry the service and experience they receive must be as VIP clients. Service charge should be on the bill for good service and we should have choice to reward based on the service, food and enjoyment...
Read moreAviod Aviod Aviod!!!!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU EAT SEA FOOD!!!!! I recently went there as a casual outing with my partner a few months ago. I had the lobster with a side of pasta along with a spicy tomatoe sauce. On the first occasion I had no problems. The next time I visited there I had the same, however as soon as I finished my meal I didn’t feel right almost immdiently. I had one large glass of white wine however after about 30 minuets of consuming my food I felt as if I was a little tipsy and felt a bit sick even though all I had was one glass of wine with my food. I had not eaten anything all day so I knew for sure I was unwell due to the food I ate. I ended up leaving my partner early and went home. I went straight to sleep and woke about about 3 hours into my sleep with the most excruciating pain in my stomach. I ran to the bathroom and for about 25 minuets I was diarrhearing and vomiting at the same time. I felt like I was actually dying!!!! I have eaten fish my whole life and yet this was my first experience of consuming bad fish. I have eaten lobster from a variety of restaurants all around London and have never experienced any like this in my life up uptil this point. I am a creature of habit so I always have the same meal in every Italian I visit. This was my first and last time I will randomly go and eat lobster at a place I have not eaten before. The experience I had was awful and would not wish for anyone to experience what I had to go through. I am now reluctant to eat what was once my favourite meal. They have scared me for life. I called the restaurant the next day to pass on my complaint and all they could say was there was nothing wrong with our food we served you. Absouly ridiculous. If you require lobster I recommend Alfresco in Wetworth. Also this restaurant is overpriced. From a not...
Read moreThe restaurant was closing at 11 and we did arrive at 10, they did served us but I preferred not to. They started to throw cutleries and menus at the table very roughly, asking straight away what we want, started to make “jokes” to let us understand we needed to eat a bit fast. Once arrive the food, they kept coming to check on our place while we were eating to see how long we missing to finish. Keep asking us everything ok? But the way it was asked it wasn’t certainly because of caring of the service actually was another method to rush us, they asked about 3/4 times per place, no even time to answer the waiter said GOOD! In a proper rude tone impossible to confuse. HE WAS NOT CHECKING TO BE NICE AT ALL!! once finished straight away removed everything from the table again with such a rough method in two people 4 hands! The way we felt uncomfortable is not easy to describe, almost unsafe. I would have preferred them to not accept us at the restaurant in first place. I couldn’t eat the pasta because of how I was feeling I left all of it personally. Also the fish was tasking the same taste as everything. was frozen and unfrozen but for sure tasteless. Really don’t...
