Restaurant history:
Now in its ninth decade, Bentley’s first opened its doors in 1916 in the same beautiful old Victorian building it occupies today. From the outset this famous oyster bar and grill, with its arts and crafts movement-inspired interior and Italian-gothic façade, captured the vibrant mood of a metropolis about to embrace the roaring twenties.
The Bentley’s themselves were in the oyster business, with their own beds in West Mersea near Colchester. With the bivalve business booming the family decided to open a restaurant in London’s fashionable West End. Then, as today, Bentley’s offered a combination of informal, relatively relaxed eating at its downstairs oyster bar with a more formal grill restaurant upstairs.
Based on my research:
Bentleys oyster bar and grill is much more better than our restaurant, because the restaurant manage to get high turnover. Bentleys oyster bar and grill also have much more variety's on their menu to be choose from. The space of the restaurant is much more bigger hence there is much more customer that can be fit in that restaurant in one time. Eventhough their food is tasty, good and quality, they manage to give cheaper price in every of their menu.
