Why aren't we allowed to give zero star to this dump? There was zero service. Zero taste in the food. Zero taste in the sickly cocktails. Zero for the tacky decor that looks like the changing room's team has done a botched up job on a once fun eighties interior. Now it just looks cheap and nasty. A brothel in Amsterdam probably has more character but i suppose the tacky clients here would know if style hit them on the head. This place is dirty and disgusting beyond belief. I think the council should come to inspect the kitchen and toilets. ZERO, ZERO in all counts

BBB - I can only agree with the many reviews here, Nice to look at, but my god the service is bad, and the food is not much better. I made 4 complaints in one sitting, I will never return !! And will not advise anyone to book here. I have given this a One star - You are not allowed to offer No Stars

Please see our spoilt WEDDING ANNIVERSARY list below: - Paper table linen and toilets smelly. - watch out for the 12.5% service charge added to the bill. - On arrival staff were all smoking outside the main door. - whilst eating a grocery supplier proceeded to pass our table on at least 5 occasions with produce directly above us and they were drilling walls while we eat. - The pear and stilton salad did not have any stilton on it and by the time it had been rectified the other members of my party had finished their food.- The waiter bombarded our table and did not allow us to finish.- The female manager didnt care - no offer of a discount even though I never pursued this avenue-Customer soft skills extremely poor

We booked BBB for my dad's 50th birthday after looking at the website and being quite impressed with the look of it. It looked just like my dad's kind of thing. It's a shame that the service had a lot to be desired. We arrived about 10 minutes late, it had been raining and we had been rushing to get there so looked a little flustered.

When we walked in with slightly damp hair and rosy cheeks the waitress looked at us like we were tramps that had just walked in off the street! No friendly welcome whatsover and she sneered down her nose as if to say 'what are you doing here?'.

She said as we were late we would only be able to have the table for an hour, well we were only 10 minutes late! We were sat on a table quite near the service area, however, some tables were a lot closer. We would have been extremely disappointed if we had been sitting there.

It took quite a while to even get a drink. The food was nice when it arrived and the decor did look impressive. However, everything looked a little dirty. Where I was sitting I could see into a service area and I must say it didn't look particularly hygenic. It was overall quite disappointing for the money you pay. You could go to somewhere like Pizza Hut and the service is better and the restaurant cleaner! I didn't feel it was a very special meal for my dad's 50th unfortunately.

Wow. An experience worthy of a really really bad sitcom.If someone had said to the management of self-styled Bbb (presumably because they can't even be bothered to waste breath on the whole name) 'go on, create the worst possible customer service and make the whole dining experience memorable in a really really bad way', then it would have been a triumph.

After booking a table in advance for 5 people for lunch, upon arrival we were told by a waiter (who we'd had to flag down as no-one was at the front desk) to just 'sit wherever', even though the only available tables were for 2. Reluctantly he offered to 'push some tables together' if we liked. Well yes, call us old-fashioned, but sitting together was rather the point in the first place. We were handed full drinks and wine lists and had to ask several times for the food menu (it being lunch and all), which was uninspiring at best, with two of the 6 mains - the chicken and fish - served the same 'fondant potato, green beans and lentil sauce'.

Mushroom soup with truffle oil was presented sloppily to the table as 'oil soup' and the mains were over-salty and less than piping hot. Food was skewed all over the plates and my friend's lemonade was topped up with water (when she mentioned this, she received a bored shrug and a 'yes?').Seats were filthy, the whole place was shabby WAY beyond chic and as a final insult, when we eventually managed to get the bill - the front of house person and waiter too engrossed in reading each other's phone texts behind the bar to acknowledge us - the credit card machine was programmed to ask if we wanted to add a gratuity in addition to the 12.5% service already on the bill.

Hmm, let me think....Sure it looks pretty from the outside but please don't be fooled. If you're happy to be ripped off by a complacent and smug business, fine. If not, and you find yourself in the area, go ANYWHERE else if you want decent food, pleasant (in fact, ANY) service an

This is the WORST dinning experience I have had in London and also the most expensive. From the start to the finish this place really does not match up to the style and decor and clientele of this Restaurant. Service was shocking, Senior staff were rude and disorganised with an abundant lack of charm, food was well below average and all in all without going into fine detail my advice is too stay well clear!

Pros:
Brilliant decor, fantastic atmosphere, Steak was cooked to perfection.
Cons:
Seating is cramped due to decor, staff were rude when we asked to be moved, drinks are extorsionate.
Great to experience, wouldn't go back.

BEWARE BEACH BLANKET BABYLON. The worst dining experience of my life. Although it is unfair to call it a dining experience seeing as we never got to eat. We booked a table for 9pm, were seated at 10.30pm and left at 11pm when we still had not received menus, drinks or an apology. Steer clear is the only advice I can offer.
