"Bill came to £145 for two people. This is the third time we have been to Mr Lous to try their “famous” lobster deal where you get a bottle of champagne with any 2pb Lobster which is only on Fridays. Each time we have been they have had NO lobster! Food we did order was extremely overpriced, dry and unpleasant. Duck spring rolls £7 hardly had any meat in them, just stuffed with a load of Veg. Honey Chicken £18 was basically 8 chicken nuggets on a plate with NO Sauce! We had to share the sauce from another main. Prawn toast £14 was awful! It is basically one piece of toast stuffed with more than the usual amount of Prawns. It was dry and taste was overwhelming with the amount of prawns stuffed in there. King Dum Po Chicken £24 calamari £4 £28 total for a main without any rice or chips! You could tell they reduced the portion size just to add the Calamari. Portion was mainly veg with little meat. AGAIN! Tried to order drinks with the porter who brings food to the table which he said he’ll get a staff member to come over. 15 minutes later no one came. I had my meal with no drink. We was in the booth right next to the bar so I had to go up and order it myself. Cocktail took another 10 minutes to come. Drinks were overpriced due to the lack of complimentary champagne with the lobster which we called and was assured they would have on! . Service was extremely slow, waited 20 minutes to get a waiters attention to pay the bill. You could spot way off who the owner was as she was stomping around the restaurant piercing looks at the staff. The concept of this restaurant is amazing, But the delivery on service, food, affordability and customer service have been compromised by its former reputation which once held this establishment in such a high pedestal. Now, it seems it’s got more expensive without any improvement on its service. It is the kind of restaurant you try once just for experience, but retention of customers is defiantly an issue this restaurant faces. Restaurant itself was designed with a gorgeous interior with good lighting. But, I wouldn’t be deceived."

"We have eaten here on a few occasions: the last time we ordered the chateaubriand medium rare, it came out medium. When we spoke to the waitress she said they had a French chef and they always over cook the steaks. You have to ask if the chef is French or English when you come in as this will depend on how your meat is cooked which seems really strange as there is nothing on the menu that says you have to ask this. We let it go and did not complain. We came again today for lunch. We ordered the prawn risotto which I ordered the last time and it was amazing. Today is was dry but again we let it go rather than complain and spoil the meal. My partner ordered the kidneys (pleural) however there was one kidney, again we let it go. We also ordered the duck profiterole. This came with a poached egg, however the egg was boiled not poached and over done so we sent it back. When this starter was replaced it was cold and the egg was raw in parts so un edible . When we told the waiter he apologised and we said the chef needs to learn how to cook an egg a very basic thing to cook. The chef who we now know is the owner came out of the kitchen and very unprofessionally said to us, “I need to go back to chef school to learn how to cook an egg”and laughed at us. Never have we seen such unprofessional behaviour from a chef and an owner of a restaurant. His behaviour was childish and unprofessional. We told the waitress we were not holy with him and she apologised but it was not her that should have apologised. He then served us dry pork which again had to be sent back. On both occasions I asked for the chef to come out and speak to us and we would explain what was wrong with his food, however we were told this would not happen. This was disappointing considering the chef had come out and made his sarcastic comment to us and retreated to his kitchen without us being able to speak to him. We eat out many days a week in many restaurants and have never been so disappointed with a meal and the chef. We watched others in the restaurant who also had over cooked eggs but for their own reasons did not bring it up. We will never go back to this restaurant which is a shame. It was very busy and I do not think the chef could deal with how busy it was. There was a full restaurant and a function on. Regardless if a chef cannot cope with a full restaurant then do not fill your restaurant and if you have to serve poor quality food and insult your customers when they complain, then shame on you and yes go back to school and learn how to cook an egg and a steak. Serve your food perfectly no matter how busy you are and treat your customers with respect we are paying for your service. This was our 5th visit and our last after today. If you were proud of the food you served today then shame on you. And the fact you wouldn’t come out and discuss with us is a shame, all you could do is be childish say your comment and rush off to your kitchen pathetic. Avoid this restaurant if you want great food continuously. Well done to the staff who have to work for this rude owner!"
