    In my opinion, possibly the best classic cuisine restaurant in London. Impeccable service that is highly attentive but never in your face. Service that adapts to you and reads your needs. The food is superbly executed and presentation is like a work of art. The value is good, and the £15 corkage fee at lunch makes it very very good value indeed, especially if you are partial to a more expensive bottle of wine or champagne. Been a few times and will go many more. It's over an hour for us to get there but boy is it worth it.

    We have eaten at PJ’s at Christmas time several times before and it has always been excellent on all counts. This time round it was very good but below its usual excellent standards. While the service was typically excellent, the food missed its usual elevated standards, and the ambience was somewhat flat, lacking its usual excitement and buzz.

    A restraint that delivered on all fronts, from peculiar concoctions that challenge your ideas on food, to tried and tested but impeccably executed flavor combinations, all brought to you with the ever warm and welcoming hospitality the world has come to expect from Ireland. I have not a bad word to say about my families experience eating here and it’s definitely a standout highlight of our trip while visiting from the United States, needless to say we will back to Myrtle in the near future as we thoroughly enjoyed every dish.
