Princess Garden Of Mayfair

I heard so much about this restaurant so was really looking forward to eating here. On arrival the receptionist was very unfriendly and showed us to our table without even a smile on her face.

This restaurant used to be called Princess Garden but it has changed hands and the food is as good as ever. We ate a mixed Hors d'oeuvre, calamari, spring rolls, seaweed, smoked chicken. This was followed by a quarter duck with plum sauce and pancakes and we then ate prawns and asparagus, Sizzling lamb, and spare ribs and Singapore noodles. Can't fault the food but our enjoyment was spoilt by a screaming child that would not shut up. Parents should take the child out of the restaurant until it has quietened down. Restaurant says it welcomes families but it should ask parents to take screaming children out. It spoils it for everyone else.

We visited on a Tuesday evening and were greeted by the front of house who took our coats and then showed us to our table.

The restaurant is rather loud and service is not very quick. However the menu has a great variety of choices. The Berkshire maple syrup pork is excellent as is the lobster noodle. The Peking duck is more akin to Cantonese roast duck but the serving is generous in that you really get all the meat.

We went as a group from work to celebrate Chinese New Year Good food and service, and nice layout inside with round tables and big picture windows
