"We have been to Calico Bar Eatery before and had a lovely time. So after a long awaited and anticipated visit, we were really looking forward to coming back to enjoy some food and drinks. Unfortunately, this did not go to plan. Another rather inebriated customer spent the moment from when we stepped in staring at me, waving and trying to get my attention in some way or another. Anytime I scanned the room I found him desperately trying to gain eye contact with me, waving, and shouting over when all we were wanted to do was enjoy dinner. I was purposely ignoring him completely avoiding any sort of interaction. It was making really uncomfortable but I did not want to ruin our dinner by making a fuss. However, after an hour/2 hours of this happening it took other customers to report to the manager that we were uncomfortable and only got them came over even though he even said he had noticed his behaviour prior to it being reported. He simply came over and said the customer was too drunk and wasn’t being served anymore. After the manager left our female server then followed up with us and she asked if I was uncomfortable to which I said yes. She then said she was going to call security. We then watched as the security guard approached this individual with the look that something might be done just to turn it into a laugh and joke. It took 15 minutes for him to move the guest from this table to another behind so that he was not in eye line. Then the security guard took it upon himself to approach our table and ask what happened. “What did he do that was actually wrong?”, “He was just trying to give you a compliment, and tell you’re wonderful and pretty”, “I would take it as a compliment”. I said that is harassment and my friends backed this up also. I asked him how would he feel if he was trying to have an intimate dinner and someone was shouting, waving and staring at him, to which he had no good reply. At which point I summoned the manager to ask for the bill and said I really wanted to leave. I was upset and furious and took myself outside. I came back to find the man and security gone after my friend had spoken with the manager and we had been provided with a small discount for the inconvenience. I was then led to believe the man had been kicked out. We paid the bill and left, to find the man and security guard at the door having a laugh. The only positive of the evening was our female server, I did not catch her name but she was empathetic and was actually the only one to apologise for the way the situation was handled. She was really supportive and seemed shocked when I let her know what security had said to me. I would really appreciate an email or phone call to discuss this situation further. Safe to say we will not be returning anytime soon. The approach to women’s safety was appalling and felt so backwards."

It’s a favourite among my friend group. Not only in the vibe very modern and hip, the food is delectable. Our server recommended us a selection of appetisers, all of which went will with our cocktails. I recommend the Mushroom Croquettes.

I stayed here when I was walking the Thames. Large room with a comfortable four poster bed, good shower and large TV. The bar/restaurant downstairs is great for a quick nightcap (small glass of wine, good price) there is a quiet library section that 's great to relax in. Staff were very polite and friendly. The only slight downside is no breakfast, but there 's plenty of choice nearby Voir le carte

Hotel part of the business is pretty tired, light shades dusty, lot of water marks in the taps etc. bed pretty comfy, walls thin, hopefully don't end up next door to someone who snores loud! A lot of road noise but use to that from home so wasn't such an issue for me. No real service, the bar is clearly the priority, no night porter etc. No breakfast, which I think was advertised when I booked. Would probs have rather gone a premier inn on reflection but was cheap(er) and ok.

Security and management need changing. Went for a long awaited meal and was seated nearby a rather drunken individual who throughout the meal kept waving and shouting at our friend, this continued over an hour and multiple customers highlighted the harassment and disruption of this individual to the management. The female server came over to ask if we were okay and said she would get security, once security came the security and individual took 15 minutes to move the individual to another table. The security then came over to ask what they had done wrong and said “they were just trying to complement you”, when we highlighted that what they were doing was harassment the security guard said “t...
