Garfunkels

I recently went to Edinburgh and did a couple of tourist things. I always find that I always seem to go abroad and never really visit other cities in my home country. So Edinburgh was the choice for both of us which is a 4 hour drive from home. We did all the tourist things that we could cram into our days in Edinburgh and on Thursday we were trying to keep everything we did in the same area within Edinburgh so once we had been to the dungeons we went up to the Royal Mile and decided to get some lunch as it was getting late. James (husband) decided that we should go to Garfunkel's as he had been to one in London a few times when away for meetings ...  Read the complete review

A friend and I were meeting up in Central London last weekend for lunch and as usual with all the restaurants around we couldn't decide where to go. Going for a wander we came across Garfunkels, just off Oxford Street. Neither of us had eaten there before but having a quick look at the menu on display outside the door, there seemed to be plenty of choice, so we decided to head in. As it was lunchtime the branch was very busy and we had to wait around 10 minutes before being seated. While we were waiting one of the waitresses handed us a menu to have a look at so we could make our selection and order as soon as we were seated. I thought this was a good idea ...  Read the complete review

Our family ate at Garfunkels in Bath during a day trip at the end of August 2009. Whilst initial impressions are good - it's a grand old building with impressive period features, however as we walked to our table I started to wonder why on a busy saturday lunchtime the place was 3/4 empty! As with previous reviews we ordered quite simple food for three adults and two children with no starters. Around 1/2 hour later our food arrived - the presentation was poor - very little on any plate looked appealing, then the taste - the chicken was dry and overcooked, the chunky fries were bordeline cremated and my sons "Cowbow Pie" was poor even for a kids meal - sausage ...  Read the complete review

I have to say the service was just about as bad as you can possibly get it. It started off well enough, we were soon found a table and we settled down with the Sunday papers. Then we waited, and waited. Eventually a poor waiter for whom we later felt sorry for took our order. It was a simple enough order, we did not want starters and my wife and I had Omelettes whilst the boys had Ribs and Lasgane slightly complicated by a side order of garlic bread. A round of drinks was ordered. Then we waited, and waited. After 10 minutes the drinks duly arrived. And then we waited, and waited. After 40 minutes the poor waiter returned to inform us that the chef (meaning ...  Read the complete review

Last Friday my boyfriend and I decided to go out for dinner. We decided to go to Garfunkel’s, in Leicester Square, because we walk past it everyday after work (whilst starving) yet had never eaten in there. The restaurant is situated down Dean Street, which is one of the roads that leads into Leicester Square. It can be seen from the centre of Leicester Square, and is very easily accessible from Leicester Square tube station. It is also in walking distance from Charing Cross National Rail station, and about 5 minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. WAITING TIMES As we had decided to visit this branch in central London on a Friday evening, we decided to ...  Read the complete review
