Their pre-theatre menu is amazing! Two courses for £29.99, we opted for mains and dessert. Everything was full of flavour. The portions are on a smaller side but that’s expected. You’d need an extra side dish also.

I recently had lunch at The Ivy in London with my girlfriend, and it was a fantastic experience. I opted for the Malaysian Curry, which was really flavourful and perfectly spiced, while my girlfriend enjoyed the Tuna Steak, which was cooked to her perfection. Both meals were delicious felt of high quality. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a traditional & stylish setting that made our lunch feel special. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and we can’t wait to return!

Yet another great meal at an Ivy restaurant. Excellent food and service on the pre theatre menu. Well worth a visit. The onion soup was lovely as was the Sea Bream.

The Ivy offers an exceptional dining experience with incredibly delicious food. The menu features a selection of classic English dishes alongside numerous vegetarian options, which are available on a separate menu. The staff are incredibly attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The interior is very traditional and beautifully decorated, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. The food is truly delectable. It is advisable to reserve a table a few days in advance to ensure availability.

Great food, friendly service. Perfectly cooked beef wellington. They decided to seat another couple extremely close to us even though the restaurant was empty at the time. We had a hard time holding a conversation without it seemingly spread to next table. At least we influenced their meal since it was so close it was basically a display for them.

We wanted to go to a pub with some history and this was where Elizabeth Taylor’s & Richard Burton got married.. She was the biggest & most famous actress in the works when this happened so I guess it is worth my time to find out why.. amazing & beautiful architecture.. the steak pie was awesome but the Sunday roast was a disappointment.. meat was tough & very few.. the Wellington was really bad.. but the pie save the day.. pints was all delicious!

Perfect English pub for me. Great service and a very good pint of Guinness. The place looks great and has an old school vibe and the decor is funky and brilliant. Had a nice relaxing pint here enjoying the afternoon.

A perfect English Pub. We were originally going to go to a pub across the street but because the game was on we couldn’t get in to sit down either inside or out. So we walked across the street and gave this place a shot. Happy we did. The food was great and the beer was cold! The atmosphere was perfect. Everyone was having a great time with friends. The pub is decorated beautifully and has the eclectic British charm. Oh and my 18 year old son had his first “legal” drink at a bar so, that was a fun experience. 😜

The bar has a very nice ambiance , very cozy and chill. They have a lot of different beers. The food was delicious. We had fish and chips and the steak and ale pie. Both were very tasty, fresh and full of flavor.

This was an odd place. They offer table service but it was sporadic at best. After food was served never saw the server again. Had to go to bar to pay. Maybe that was the way it's done. Again, odd. Beer options were limited. The food was good. No complains there.

100% recommend. I had a lovely night out for dinner at the Hawksmoor. From start to finish, the food and service was excellent. I had a seasonal kiwi cocktail, lobster and creamed spinach. They also serve the best sticky toffee pudding. The staff were excellent, especially Tika who attended on our table and had a very friendly and cheerful manner, ensuring that we were well taken care of. My husband and I truly enjoyed dinner at the Hawksmoor and look forward to returning again.

Food was amazing but the waiter was somehow very aggressive? I guess he wanted us to have more food. He was very adamant on how we NEEDED at least 900grams of steak and we declined at least 3 times for him to get the idea that we wouldn’t be able to finish it. My husband had to raise his voice a little as he was somehow being a bit aggressive??? Passionate??? At the weight of our steak, and he stopped. Thank goodness as the other patrons were just wonderful and the food was amazing. Great place overall. Definitely get the scallops!

We chose this restaurant for a birthday celebration and overall had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a welcoming staff that gave us a good reception upon arrival. However, we noticed there was no background music, which was a bit disappointing as it could have enhanced the ambiance.The starters we ordered were amazing, setting a high expectation for the rest of the meal. For the main course, we all opted for the fillet steak. the steak itself was normal nothing’s special , I was underwhelmed by the presentation - it was served on a plain plate without any sides. Although extras were available for order, it didn't impress me as I was expecting a more complete dish. the dessert we had was really good and ended the meal on a high note. Despite the mixed experience with the food, the welcoming staff and great atmosphere make this restaurant worth a visit for a special occasion.

WOW! Absolutely loved the Hawksmoor. Everything about it was perfect. We came in a Saturday night without a reservation. Though extremely busy they were able to fit us in at the bar area. A Perfect spot!! The Ceasar salad was delightful as the dressing was homemade and very tasty. The scallops were DIVINE! We will be dreaming about them for awhile. The porterhouse steak was cooked to perfection. So glad we came here! Next time we will be sure to make a reservation.
Virginia Huffman - 3 weeks ago

We had never experienced a Sunday roast in England before even though we’ve traveled there many times. I did a lot of research and this restaurant did not disappoint. The cocktails and sides were extra and certainly worth it, but if you just wanted to order the roast dinner itself. It’s reasonable and absolutely delicious.

My very favourite cinema in London! Upstairs is a cool bar, serving drinks and artisans snacks. Downstairs are the cinemas, lined with photos of stars at Curzon movie premiers etc. Picture and movie quality is always great, and they have more of the sort of movies I like: arty, intellectual, awarding winning, foreign language movies. I pay a monthly membership and so worth it. Pictures attached are outfits from the Poor Things, displayed at the cinema.

amazing! top floor is a cafe that is hangout out even on a non movie outing. the floor below is a cool bar and lounge area. same applies; a place i’d check out without a movie. last bottom floor is the movie theater. great big screens with clean comfy seats. great selection of movies. i heard they have great deals and events that lots of film fans would appreciate. great cinema!

Great location, good atmosphere, cappuccino was delicious and free baby-chino was a nice touch for my niece. Thank you so much! However the staff are slow and don't keep track of who's next in the queue. Can be rather frustrating to order. Explained to the chap serving that I had waited a while but he became very defensive. Perhaps a little extra customer service training is required. Visit date:- 22nd June . 15:00hrs .

Great blue lights in the theatre which does not disturb you when you are watching the film. Seats could have been better my friends said, i would say so to. Just spoilt. Amazing set up, prices are through the roof but you can only find some film here and the ambience. Great staff and smiles too.

This was one of the most immaculate places I ate at in London. The food was delicious, creamy, spicy, amazing flavors. Our waiter was amazingly attentive and friendly too, giving great recommendations a taking care of us. The absolute highlight of the meal was the dessert. Alphonso mangos on plain vanilla ice cream. It was the most scrumptious dessert I’ve ever had. You can only get it for a limited time there in the spring, so if you are there in the spring be sure to get it. (This review is from the spring of 2023.)

Absolutely amazing and highly recommend it! Don’t let the line outside the restaurant discourage you, it goes very fast anyway and waiting will be rewarded with the quality of the food. The service is kind and available to give you suggestions on what to order, and the food is delivered fast. Since it was my partner’s birthday they even came with a surprise desert and a candle, on the house, which was highly appreciated it! We will absolutely come back here next time we are in London!

Everything tasted authentic and fresh. They also do an amazing job of checking allergies. We got the chili chicken. Which tasted like it was made with natural chillis. It was a little spicy, but barely. We also got the ruby chicken which was very good.. basically butter chicken but better. The chefs special was amazing. It tasted like Indian Italian fusion. The sauce was a sweet tomato sauce, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this. For dessert we got the chocolate pudding, which was alright. The ice cream that went with it, was very good. Left a little spice flavor after eating, which was very fun to experience.

Lime leaf Collins was very tasty, good flavours, but just a touch too sweet. Black daal: Complex flavour and comforting. Quite spicy for me. Monk fish curry: The tamarind was very prominent here. Lots of strong flavourful spices. My wait as a single diner was 1 hour from lining up at 5pm Friday. Not the best meal I've had in London but it's up there.

We recently dined here and the experience was outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with an ambiance that beautifully blends modern and classic touches. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and efficient. As for the food, every dish we tried was exquisite, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. From the iconic chichen ruby to the succulent prawns, every bite was a delight. It’s truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in London. Highly recommended!

I found this place by searching for "most romantic restaurants" for celebrating our 1st anniversary with my wife. It's definitely a very romantic restaurant and I'm so glad I chose it for such a special anniversary. I had made a reservation long before and stated that I wanted to get a good table, and the table given to us was one of the best tables in the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was truly incredible, the food was of high quality and the service was impeccable. The grilled chicken was especially delicious. Our waiter (I don't know his name but he was gentleman with glasses) was very helpful and friendly. After asking for the check, we waited a bit too long for it but it wasn't a big problem. Thank you for this nice dinner 😊

I had dinner at this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and it was a very pleasant evening. The room where I ate was small but it seemed more spacious thanks to the mirrors on the walls, it also seemed very romantic with the white flowers that adorned it. I took the tasting menu and I ate well. The dishes that in my opinion were the best were the tartare and the scallops. All the dishes were well presented. It was very nice to have the chocolate dessert with the words happy birthday brought to me. The service was fast and the staff were very kind. The only negative note, in my opinion, was the presence of stains on the chairs that also appeared a little worn, perhaps the upholstery should be freshened. For the rest, everything was fine.

I recently dined here and had an amazing experience. The cozy ambiance and friendly, attentive staff made for a perfect meal thanks to Fatmir he made the visit very wonderful. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, with the dessert being a highlight. Highly recommend for great food and service—I’ll definitely be back!

really beautiful, elegant and with a very quiet and warm atmosphere. I think what made me feel more comfortable was the girl on the staff who spoke Spanish 🥹which made me understand the dynamics of the restaurant many more, that really made a difference for me. All really friendly 🫶 delicious and different food Really all 10 of 10🥂🙌

Dining at Clos Maggiore was a truly extraordinary experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was phenomenal—warm, professional, and attentive. The ambience is exceptional, balancing sophistication with comfort, making it perfect for both romantic dinners and special celebrations with friends. The appetizers were a delightful start, each dish presented beautifully and full of flavor. The wine list is extensive and well-curated, with knowledgeable staff guiding us to the perfect pairings. The main courses were spectacular, showcasing the chef’s skill and high-quality ingredients. I will say for the price, the portions were pretty small. In summary, Clos Maggiore exceeded all expectations with outstanding service, a magnificent atmosphere, and incredible food and wine. It’s a dining destination not to be missed, and I eagerly look forward to my next visit. Highly recommended for an exceptional dining experience.

We stayed here for our family vacation to London. This is a great location, and within mins of everything. Very convenient walking distance to major entertainment and food options. The staff here are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and our entire room was full windows and views! Now, the only issue I had was the bathroom. Fixtures were loose, I needed to tighten the shower head myself. Some of the tiles were cracked, the toilet seat was loose, and the toilet paper holder fell off the wall. The worst part was that shower controls were very loose and hard to get a temperature every use. Other than that, the bed was very comfortable, we had a lot of closet space and a mini fridge in our room. Across the street, there are amazing options for a quick breakfast, too. And one block up, you will find many options for dining and entertainment.

HUGE bed, and I mean HUGE. Two people can easily lay and star fish in the bed without touching each other. Bathroom had an amazing shower in it with good pressure, something that isn't common in hotel bathrooms. As we were seeing a play at His Majesty's Theatre, this location was absolutely perfect. We were close to the theatre, but also places like the Lego Store and China Town. And for that the price was very reasonable.

Incredible customer service! We checked into our room and found that it was a wheelchair accessible room, the AC was not working and it had a strong odor of glue from the renovations. We spoke with the front desk and although they had no rooms to switch us to, the manager arranged for us to go to their sister hotel (only a block away), he walked us down to the room himself to have us check and see if it was satisfactory, then helped us switch over (even offered to help personally with luggage). He arranged for us to have our breakfast for free and sent up a bottle of champagne to our new room. Absolutely fantastic customer service!

The reception staff here was super friendly and helpful. The room itself was big but a bit on the shabby side. The bathroom wasnt very clean with black mold on the tiles and the drain cover popping up but nice walk in shower with good pressure. Even the hallways were a bit shabby. They had signs saying they were upgrading though so might get nicer. It was an amazing location! Super easy to get to all the main sights or main tube stops. Overall would stay again just hope the renovations include fixing up some of the more outdated parts of rooms and cleaning gets better

My friend & I went for a meal after work without booking. We’ve been seated immediately. The waitress ( Ruyman Camacho) who came in to take our orders was such a fabulous host. Ruyman was so welcoming, friendly, his energy is just what you need while in a restaurant. Thank you for taking care of us & many thanks for the candle & chorizo for my birthday. Such a wonderful touch 💚. We ordered small plates variety. Everything was so tasty. The overall atmosphere was absolutely great. Enjoyed my time and going back again for sure.

Went here with my family for the first time. The staff were all lovely and I was instantly made welcome. The food was divine (and yes that includes the vegan one!) and they dealt with the allergy at our table superbly. Even the pick eaters were satisfied with the options and taste. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great Mexican food. Our server Paulina was excellent, suggesting dishes we may like and the quantity too which was perfect. She was very attentive and polite. The food was very tasty and came in servings that was just right for two to share so you can try lots of different things.

After a business meeting, we headed back to King’s Cross and after consulting with my brother-in-law to double-check, we popped into Wahaca. We weren’t disappointed. The food and drink were excellent and bar a slight delay with the dessert the customer service was exceptional too. We shared nachos to start followed by burritos, which were excellent. As were the margaritas! The basil Mezcalita was delightful!! Highly recommend but might be worth booking in advance as it was very busy. Kudos to the chefs and to Miguel for great customer service and recommendations.

Great variety of Mexican food. Although the tortillas used for the tacos seemed a tad hard, maybe slightly overdone? Felt some of the tacos lacked an intense flavour to them but otherwise great food! The beef tacos were the best! Service was great, very friendly and quick, lots of seating.

We had a great afternoon tea before and decided to try their dinner. Browns has a bar and restaurant and was very busy tonight with good atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed by the team and enjoyed a very delicious dinner. Vida our server was very cheerful and friendly and made sure we were having a good time there. When she learned that it was a birthday dinner, she immediately arranged a nice surprise for me which we really appreciated. We were lucky to have Vida and so is Browns! We will definitely be back…see you soon Vida and have a Wonderful Birthday in 2 weeks’ time :)

I went there today for breakfast, and it was excellent, a lovely ambiance and interior. The staff were incredibly friendly and handled a very demanding couple who had just arrived and insisted on having breakfast served within 15-20 minutes due to a meeting. The wife then requested the music be turned down and inquired about the healthy options on the menu. If you're in a hurry it's best to check the menu beforehand, or go elsewhere like Pret around the corner and pick something ready made and off the shelf. The waiter managed the situation exceptionally well. I opted for the traditional breakfast, which was cooked to perfection. I would have been happy to give a gratuity when paying by card at the end, but I wasn’t given that option, and unfortunately, I didn’t have any cash on me. I would definitely visit again.

We celebrated my sisters 16th birthday here - it was quite crowded in London that day but as soon was we walked in it was a great atmosphere for a calm afternoon tea in a secluded part of Browns. The food was great and just the sizes and amounts of food for satisfaction but leaving without feeling stuffed. The quality was outstanding and we were very pleased with the service too, our waitress was Anna and she really added value to our afternoon also keeping in mind our allergies and arranging a little surprise for my sister. Thanks to the chefs and Anna for this lovely afternoon and can only recommend!

I came here for my graduation celebration and I had booked one of the private rooms. It was an incredible experience! The venue was amazing and decorated to perfection. The staff was very friendly and attentive! The private room we were in was the Judges Study and it was on a separate floor so it really gave a sense of privacy. We also had a small reception in the foyer of the floor which was also very nice. We had pre-ordered from the occasions menu and the food was of great quality and tasted amazing. It was definitely great value for money. The waiter who was serving us in the private room was extremely attentive and great at his job. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for private events, as I can truly say that the experience was incredible!

This place was great! We chose this place to have our first English Breakfast experience and it tasted absolutely delicious. The black pudding, mushrooms and the beans especially were great. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff were super helpful. We reserved a table in advance through their website, but it’s a bit buggy and uninformative. Like that lunch serving starts at 12:00 and afternoon tea doesn’t start until 15:00. We reserved afternoon tea for 11:30 through the website (and were able to do so), but were told that that service didn’t start until 15:00 when we got there. We got the breakfast instead tho and that was just as good! ✨
