Brasserie Joel - London

The last time I came here I had a very nice meal with very nice serviceThis time there were 4 of us and it was perfect.

Been a few times in this French restaurantAlways like to there if I'm in the other side of the riverThe restaurant is part of park plaza hotel.

Decent experience, food was pretty good but quite priceyThe service was absolutely terrible worst service experience I've ever had in London.

Fantastic food for the whole family with very friendly and attentive staff. Can’t wait to return

The restaurant was quite full at 7:30pm with large parties and noisy children. In fairness it was Valentine's Day. Whilst it is always nice to see families with children dining together the somewhat intimate ambience the brasserie seems to target does not seem best suited to young diners. Possibly the problem is that hotel does not offer a more suitable restaurant option for those with youngsters. The bar area serves food but is rather large and not exactly cosy. The food was OK. The onion soup was extremely tasty but the cheese in it was surprisingly over generous making it a struggle to eat. The wine list is as you would expect in a London hotel, was quite expensive but with some excellent options. I made the mistake of asking for a brief pause between starters and main which as it always inevitably does, turned into an unacceptably long delay.
