Qype: Automat in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - American


'We're actually really busy' came the snooty voice down the phone when I booked our table. Now I'd never have thought to book a breakfast table before my friend told me of the sneer when they arrived bookingless one morning. It's uber close to the Mayfair celeb-fests like Mahiki so I guess a little down-the-nose is expected but it's still not very welcoming. That out of the way, my eggs 'Norwegian' (£11) was pretty good. I also like the canteeny feel once you enter, and be prepared to dine amongst a lot of posers hoping to be scooped up by the B-listers in the area.
Service was quick and efficient, but staff were a little Ice Queeny and could work on a little natural charm. Then, agreeing with AHunter, I'd ponder another star.
