Great Queen Street (Covent Garden)

• So the food was great but the service prety bad
• I asked the barman to see if the kitchen might be able to use a large knife and take most of the bones out and he was incredibly rude and just barked 'no' at me
• The ingredients are always very fresh and distinctly British
• Particularly when there are very few similar restaurants in the area
• Recommended as one of the best places to eat at Covent Garden
• The Great Queen Street is known for seasonal and hearty British cuisine where reservations is a must due to its perennial popularity
• We ordered the two dishes that was recommended by our friendly waitress
• The roasted hake served with new season's borlotti beans with a hot anchovy dressing was scrumptious and I happily soaked up the sauce with the complimentary bread
• My sister's baked lemon sole served with a cream prawn bisque was just as nice and we both cleared our plates with ease
• We were more than impressed with the food and service from Great Queen Street
• Unnecessary foam and bite size mains are nowhere to be found
• My points against this dish are that I think it's underseasoned
• I think the lean to fat ratio was off (not enough fat
• The flavors were ok and they would have worked had this not been overly greasy
• I think that with the overflowing amount of notable restaurants in Covent Garden that I would not find a reason to revisit Great Queen Street
• There are places which do a better take on traditional British cuisine that are certainly better and at a competitive price point
