Urban Oasis — Restaurant in London

Had the misfortune of a visit to the Urban Oasis. I should have heeded the red flags when I attempted to book a table and was told “booking was only available for friends and family of the owners.” Nevertheless, not one to be swayed easily, I ultimately persevered and turned up only to find a complete desert bereft of staff and beer.
