We popped into Gastro when recently staying in Le Meridien for a night cap and we weren't that enamoured. We were greeted and sat down in a very impersonal way that felt more akin to a chain restaurant where they want you in and out quickly, it didn't feel as welcoming as it could have. Shortly after we ordered drinks it took a while for them to be made and when they did come the cocktail was the worst Mojito we have ever tried. It was overpowered with sugar and citrus and did not taste anything like a real mojito.Tired and wanting to get a good nights sleep we did not want to debate this with the bar staff so paid the bill and left, however we will not be returning to Gastro in a rush. Please, if you are going to serve cocktails in a 5* hotel, ensure you hire cocktail waiters or provide proper training. This was really disappointing and not good.
