Service is generally pretty good, prefer this as a sunny lunch spot to a dinner place though, as the prices seem more worth it for the quality of food. Which is great don't get me wrong, but dinner just seems a bit pricier than its worth.

My friend reserved an area for 40-50 Deaf people for a 30th birthday party. On arrival, first impressions were good - the bar is beautifully decorated and had a nice atmosphere. We arrived at about 8pm and as it got darker outside, we found the lighting wasn't bright enough for us to see each other's sign language. It was virtually impossible for us to communicate because it got so dark. We discovered that there was a lamp round the corner from where we were sitting which wasn't being used. I saw a member of staff doing some cleaning and asked if we could move it so we could see better. She said that would be fine, but I thought we'd better check with the manager just to be sure. The lady agreed to come with me to talk to the manager so she could help explain what I wanted. When the manager came over and the lady explained, the manager immediately said no. Then I got my phone out to type messages to show him in case he hadn't understood what I meant. I explained that it was so dark that it was impossible for us to communicate and we needed more light to be able to sign to each other. We just wanted to move a lamp a few meters onto a table for us all to sit round. We were a big group that had reserved an area, and we represented a lot of profit potential. He still said no outright and was not at all interested in trying to help us. We were really disappointed with his rude attitude and his refusal to offer a compromise. We had to give up and everyone left after only a couple of hours, which was such a shame. This is not a Deaf-friendly place. It's fine for hearing people or blind people, as there's music, a nice atmosphere and the dim light isn't a problem for them. The Deaf community should avoid going to the Terrace Wimbledon as the staff clearly are not interested in helping resolve problems for us and not interested in our custom.
