Late booking and the were able to fit us in. Lovely spacious restaurant and we used the pre theatre menu. Decent choice food good, but drinks a bit pricey! Especially for a bottle of water! But overall a pleasant experience.

Excellent service. We had a very short time to eat and they were very accommodating. They were also so helpful with all my allergies. Gluten free options provided. Highly recommend. Tasty food and good size portions.

Claude's Kitchen is a nice restaurant in an area full of tourist-focused spots. The decor is tasteful, and the place has potential as a good option for work gatherings. The staff were friendly, and the food was enjoyable, though a few dishes weren’t served as hot as expected. As we were pressed for time, we didn’t mention it, but it’s worth noting for others. There are, however, a couple of things that could be improved. The back section of the restaurant felt quite cold, which made it less inviting. Additionally, there was a noticeable smell from the restrooms at the back, which could do with being addressed. One other point is about the service charge. It’s automatically added to the bill, but the card machine prompts for an additional tip, which led to us accidentally paying twice. Better clarity here would help avoid confusion. If the temperature and restroom issues are resolved, my colleagues and I would definitely consider returning. The place has promise and could easily become a regular spot for work socials.

We appreciated the service by Umar and our team for the bottomless brunch. Our glasses were never empty and the presentation of the food was very aesthetic and yummy.

The least Christmassy venue I’ve ever been too. The food was horrible and then brunch menu was awful.

Claude exceeded our expectations - it was perfect for our client dinner. The ambiance in the evening is elegant yet cozy, with dimly lit modern interiors. The food was very good and pleased both London locals and international guests alike. The servers are excellent and very attentive with a professional manner. We look forward to visiting again!

The staff were attentive and the food was good but there was an overpowering “air freshener” smell that was misplaced in a restaurant where the food should be the main attraction.
