I had possibly one of the absolute worst experiences of my life at Cafe Ish and I didn’t even get to eat the food! I won’t go into the minutia of our ordeal, save the following key points:

1. We booked via a website promoting a discount on the bill, but the discount was an added bonus rather than the motivator for booking this restaurant.

2. A group of 4 of us were booked in for a 7pm dinner for which 2 of us were on time and 2 of us were late.

3. The disagreement began when the owner stormed over to our table to announce that he would not be giving us the discount as the table was running late. I’d already had my heart set on going to Café Ish, discount or not, so I would’ve had no problem with it if he hadn’t been so rude about it!

4. It ended with the owner shouting profanities at us and threatening my male companions (plus the arrival of the police).

I’m genuinely upset that our visit to Café Ish ended this way as I was extremely eager to try what is apparently some amazing food, and now I’ve completely lost the opportunity as I’ll never return here, and it seems I’m not the only person who thinks so – see Not Quite Nigella.
