Beach Blanket Babylon reviews

I went with a group of 10 for birthday drinks. Beautiful bar/restaurant. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Pricey but worth it!

Had a table booked 4 weeks in advance for 7 people at 9:30pm on a Saturday night. Got there at 9:30 and were not seated until an hour later. It was too busy, crowd was second rate, food not good.

We visited back in March and it was total rubbish. We were packed in like sardines and were seated at our table for 45 mins before we got a drink, let alone a menu. My partner was dripped on from the ceiling above; they did move us but it did not make up for the fact that we didn't eat for another 1 hr and 30 mins, and when it arrived it was the wrong dish. Wish we had gone to Macdonalds! We and the 4 tables around us did get a financial concession, but despite this we'll never go back.

Place as a whole completely overrated, drinks totally overpriced.

I went there for dinner on a Saturday night and they had a queue down the road! I mean, who queues to get in to a bar and restaurant? Luckily we had a reservation in the restaurant so didn't have to wait outside. Inside was buzzing. Not sure about about the magnums of Cristal that were being sent out to tables with sparklers on (a bit naff, no?). Dinner was good and more relaxed than the bar. Certainly worth a visit.

Amateur, appalling customer service! I booked a table at 21:30 for my girlfriend and I on Valentine's day, and was made to wait for 45 mins at the bar. When I enquired why people that had arrived after me were being seated immediately, not only did they not know who I was, but told me that 'that's the way they do it'. Not even an apology! Stay away at all costs on busy nights.

BBB is an institution! I had drinks and dinner there the other evening and was not disappointed. It was great. The staff, cocktails and ambiance were first class. It was cutting edge back in the 90s, and since some new guys took it over it has become a mecca for all the fashionistas in W11 again and not surprisingly so!
