This was my first visit to the Libertine, for a friend's birthday, and it wasn't especially favourable.
The positives:
- we got served our first drinks fairly efficiently after sitting down
- the ladies at the front were able to show us to our party
- the drinks were awesome (especially the Sexy Devil)
- the hot wings were really yummy
The negatives:
- food was disappointing, other than the wings; e.g. no sort of dressing on the quinoa salad, the bacon popcorn wasn't as expected...
- we were originally supposed to be seated upstairs (decided beforehand by the birthday girl & the venue) but another event was booked there instead
- after initial drink order, service was very poor, including waiting to get bill for 20 minutes after most of our party had left for another establishment
- one gentleman at our table didn't even get his meal
- no refills on the water
Granted, I know that a party of about 30 isn't easy to serve, but they knew we were coming in well in advance. I might be back, but only if someone I know really wants to go.
