The Refinery Citypoint — Restaurant in London

My team mates and I went to this place today for lunch after reserving a table for 5 people. When we arrived we were shown to a pair of tables which had been pushed together. To be honest, the table wasn't big enough for us and 3 of us ended up squeezed in together. I think this was further reaffirmed by the table next to us, also with 5 people and the same set up - 2 small tables pushed together. The last guy came in late and when he arrived the first thing he said to his friends was "You guys booked the wrong size table".

Apart from this, I was very, very happy with both the food and the service. The waitress was really friendly, the food came in good time and it all tasted delicious! We shared the mezze between 4 of us whilst the 5th person decided to have her own starter. I followed this up with the halloumi burger and sweet potato fries. The food portions were very generous but more importantly, everything tasted really, really good.

In short, the only downside to this place was that they put us on too small a table. Apart from that, it was all a really great experience and I would definitely...

I went to taste the film to watch scream at the refinery citypoint bar and found the customer service distasteful. Initially, I was sat at dirty sofa with food crumbs from previous customers. Then noticed every table having bottled water or tap water except mine. Then I was given chicken burger and fries and had no issues with it as I placed it on my plate to eat it. The manager came up to me and told me he had a vegan burger for me which I didn't request. I assumed he meant he will give me a second meal but instead took my burger away and gave me a vegan one. I just want to add that I had touched the burger and put it on my plate. My assumption is they ran out of meals and wanted to give a chicken burger to someone else and took it straight from my plate. I have ate at many places and have never experienced this. As I wanted non alcoholic drinks, they served me two drinks that tasted the exact same instead of two separate drinks. For the price I didn't expect to be...
