   The choice of meat is outstanding and it’s beautifully cooked. Waiters are knowledgeable and attentive, creating a great atmosphere. Price is high, but value is reasonable. Recommended for a treat!

   Accueil sympathique et restaurant agréable. La viande est bonne, les burgers aussi, les plats de pâtes décevants. La carte des desserts est petite et ils n'étaient pas à la hauteur du reste. Les prix sont particulièrement élevés. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant avec des enfants.

   This restaurant was disappointing, it charges top prices but is not a patch on restaurants like hawksmoor. It took a while to be offered a drink and they only had 2 gins on offer and a plain Schweppes. The two starters we chose were not available. The steak is top end price, it was ok but lacked flavour. The chips were crisps not chips. We were not asked if we wanted any condiments with our meal. I would not recommend.

   Was put on a table split up from what was previously a 4top, so was pretty squished in. Whenever the door opened a cold draught came through too, which wasn't pleasant. When asking for still water, was served sparkling When ordering drinks, these took a long time to arrive, even arriving after the food. When they did, a vodka, lime and soda was actually made with lemon and probably a lime cordial which, for nearly the price of a cocktail elsewhere, was poor and felt more like something akin to a being in a regular chain restaurant. In fact the cocktails in Zizzi are better and cheaper. When asking about being Coeliac, was advised about cross contamination of oil but clearly not actual contamination, considering I'd then, a few hours later, found I'd been 'glutened' and spent the whole night with terrible cramps and urgent 'toilet troubles'. Thanks guys. I appreciate it was my decision to take with a risk of cross contamination but it seems that 'risk' was more of a certainty. The waiter actually thought Coeliac was a milk allergy. Not great. Good job it wasn't a nut allergy. I'd have keeled over by now. The food itself overall was ok. The meat itself was very good and up there with other similar restaurants but the chips were soggy and lifeless and definitely seen better days. Overall, for literally only having two courses and one drink each, for two of us coming in at nearly £210, the experience was meh. Second time I've been. Won't be going back in a hurry. Hawksmoor for a similar price is much better, especially the Air Street one and I imagine from what I've heard, so too is Ibai, which, for similar or slightly more, will be far superior.

   Lovely Italian steak restaurant. Service very welcoming. Food freshly prepared in full view either on bbq grill for steaks or in the kitchen for pasta etc. We had a very good meal pré-théâtre. Service was quick and very friendly. Would return

   Poor service and even if we had made a reservation our table was not ready. We had to wait forever for a glas of wine and ask for it three times. The staff were stressed and did not pay attention. I would not recommend this place.

   Food was amazing! Don’t be put off by a restaurant in central Leicester Square - it was really good. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Dropped off a bit for dessert but overall were great.

   Food was good. Restaurant was buzzy and busy. Service was very poor. Slow, inattentive. They seemed to be more interested in chatting at the till than actually serving customers. We had to ask for the bill three times and the leftovers four times. When we got home they hadn't packed our leftovers but someone else's. The wine list has lost it's way. The union street list was fantastic but this is supermarket mediocrity at best. Really really poor. Clearly the wine buyer has left the group or lost interest.
