    We celebrated my wife’s 60th Birthday last night at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Covent Garden. What a lovely restaurant and the food was perfect. The champagne I pre ordered was waiting at our table for us and Pritti looked after us all evening, she was superb. On arrival we had a drink at the bar and Rafaell and Marcelo were excellent and made us feel really welcome. We could not fault the restaurant and will definitely return. The restaurant is really well run , congratulations to the General Manager Sali who we had a great conversation with and the chef who we met when leaving.. Thank you everyone for making my wife’s Birthday so special.

    The staff were very attentive and pleasant. The menu had an excellent variety of dishes and wines. We were delighted with the quality of our food and the house wines. It was refreshing to be able to have a conversation without competing with music and other guests. Great acoustics. Great ambience but we were in a corner so did not get the benefit of the lovely restaurant areas or ambience. Nevertheless, we had a great dining experience. Great value amd top quality food and wines. Would recommend highly.

    Fabulous! Waiters looked after us & found a bigger table when extra people joined us - the ambiance was great both upstairs & downstairs and the wine choices & price were excellent 😀 We didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that but had to put a star in to let us leave a review …

    A really excellent lunch (only served from 3pm ... at least on a Monday. The choice of food is modest but really interesting and tasty. Service was warm and swift. The lamb dish (Rogan Josh?) was succulent and delicious. Make sure to book.
