We
have
come
to
the
Rivoli
bar
over
the
years
to
celebrate
special
occasions.
Last
night
I
visited
with
my
parents
and
my
sister
and
were
hugely
disappointed.
The
service
was
lovely
and
some
of
the
cocktails
were
nice
(although
given
it
supposed
to
be
an
experience
-
serving
one
of
them
in
a
plain
highball
with
an
ice
cube
isn't
exactly
exciting).
However,
the
bar
is
looking
tired
-
scuffs
everywhere,
the
leg
of
the
tables
are
falling
apart.
It
looks
good
from
a
distance
but
when
you're
sitting
in
it
it
has
the
feeling
you
gran's
favourite
handbag
might
give
you,
without
the
nostalgia
-
it
was
once
special
but
has
definitely
seen
better
days.
The
biggest
let
down
was
the
food.
The
food
has
also
seriously
gone
downhill.
There
used
to
be
lovely
little
sharing
things.
Not
anymore.
I
ordered
the
burger.
It
was
bigger
than
expected
which
at
first
seem
to
be
a
plus.
However,
the
patty
was
very
solid
and
very
brown
(
I
wasn't
asked
how
I
wanted
it
cooked
so
I
assume
it
would
come
medium
rare
-
it
came
very
very
well
done).
The
brioche
bin
was
burnt
(!).
The
chips
was
cold
and
soggy
and
had
clearly
been
sitting
out
and
the
onion
rings
were
hugely
over
salted.
I
would
have
complained
but
my
parents
were
paying
and
I
didn't
want
to
upset
them.
For
£36
this
was
shocking.
It
should
have
been
perfect
with
attention
to
detail
paid
to
everything
served.
Frankly,
I
would
have
got
better
food
if
I'd
gone
to
GBK
for
a
fraction
of
the
price.
I've
had
better
deliveroos
The
rest
of
our
party
had
the
lobster
rolls
which
were
nice
but
very
heavy
and
marketed
as
a
dish
to
have
by
yourself
whereas
one
plate
would
have
done
nicely
as
a
sharing
dish.
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
with
the
food
here
but
the
menu
is
not
as
good
as
it
used
to
be,
and
the
quality
of
the
food
was
frankly
dire.
After
visiting
here
for
over
15
years
won't
be
going
back.
Either
save
your
money
and
go
somewhere
cheaper
(and
probably
tastier)
or
go
to
a
better
high-end
hotel
bar
such
as
can
be
found
in
the
Savoy
or
the
Wolsey
