Brought a group of colleagues and clients to M&S for a business dinner. Probably totalled about 20 of us or so. Having been to M&S's before I knew what to expect and figured they could handle a large group of us well.
And I was right. Service was attentive and prompt. They gave us a mostly private room (another long table on the other side of the room) and let us be our boistrous, noisy group selves.
Food was delicious. We ordered several large appetizer platters for the table and everyonoe ordered their own entrees. As usual when at M&S, I had the salmon, which was light, flaky and delicious!
I give these guys 4 Stars for their service and taking care of such a large group with great poise. The food was delicious and we never felt rushed (we spent probably 30 minutes after eating just sitting around talking) or unattended.
