Le Cafe Restaurant

I had to eat at Le Cafe in Madejski hotel as my company kindly paid for my meals. Service from staff is very good. They are helpful and friendly. However, the food is on the bad side.. Steak was pretty good, but I wished I had more steak than chips. Thai curry tasted nothing like Thai curry. I was quite disgusted from the curry and almost wanted to vomit from the first bite. Burger was so dry that I almost chocked on it. It takes absolutely ages to get your food when there is no one else in the restaurant.

Food was amazing (I had duck). Service was slow especially given how quiet it was but I believe they were navigating the first night of a new menu. Heard three different tables complaining mostly about slow service but a vegetarian near me also said she just got a plate of cold pasta which was flavourless. I paid and left and a lady came running after me that thought I hadn't paid. This would have been prevented if I'd been served by the same person but there were so many serving me in their own way that she hadn't noticed someone else bring me the bill (who I'm sure was trying to hurry me off as I'd already said I'll go up and and pay when I'm done).
