Scoff & Banter Tea Rooms - Oxford Street (Marylebone)

• The Berkshire has a great location for staying if you are on a shopping spree in London
• The breakfast room on the first floor serves a good hearty English breakfast with some fast friendly service
• The restaurant/cafe on the ground floor near the main enterance is a real let down
• What made it worse was the price for which we could have enjoyed a super meal elsewhere
• The decoration and furnishings are very much the standard norm of a hotel's chain restaurant ie
• It would simply be amazing if shopping was what I came to London
• The dining room is a long and rectangular room that sits probably 25 &ndash
• A small bar in the corner but sufficiently adequate with their cocktails
• Guests who were there were shoppers taking a moment from their shopping excursion
• Plunge themselves on the sofa with paperbags surrounding them
• The only waiter there was overly enthusiastic about everything and sometimes this just comes across a little too much
• I think his presence for a small dining room is slightly over powering
• Salmon fillet with seafood broth GBP 12.00 &ndash
• The salmon is slightly on the small side but surprisingly it was just enough
• The skin was crispy but the salmon was overdone and very dry
• The potatoes were delicious and the seafood sauce carries an odd taste of bitterness with a sweetness that comes after like a immediate rescue needed before serving to mask the urgh broth
• The tartare sauce was mild and mushy peas were quite pleasant
• One can spent there evening with there favourite book and a cup of tea and enjoy the perks of the location as an extra limelight
