Restaurant is consistently good. Quality steak, very friendly yet professional service & portions are excellent. We really appreciated the additional gesture for our anniversary. The Ice cream Sunday was huge and we had to walk it off. Thank you for taking great care of us!

I visited Goodman Restaurant on Maddox Street yesterday for dinner with my wife and some friends. While enjoying our meal, an unfortunate incident occurred—a lady at the table beside us accidentally knocked over a glass of red wine from our table with her handbag, spilling it all over my wife. She offered a brief apology, but that was it, despite the obvious mess on my wife's clothes. What truly stood out was how the restaurant staff handled the situation. The team immediately stepped in to assist, helping my wife clean her sweater. The manager also came over, genuinely apologizing even though it wasn’t the restaurant’s fault. They thoughtfully offered my wife another glass of wine to replace the one that was spilled (we refused...). Later, the manager returned, again apologizing, and provided their contact information to arrange reimbursement for the cleaning costs of her clothing (we politely declined again...). On top of that, when they bring the bill, they kindly offered a discount on the £100 bottle of wine we had ordered. I was genuinely impressed—not just with the gesture of a discount, but with the level of professionalism and care shown by the staff throughout the evening. I’ve dined at Goodman several times because it’s one of London’s top destinations for a perfectly cooked steak, and this visit reaffirmed why it remains a favorite. The food, as always, was 5-star, but this time, the service truly stole the show. The staff and management went above and beyond to ensure we felt taken care of, turning what could have been a frustrating moment into an example of exceptional customer service. Highly recommend Goodman not just for their incredible steaks but for their outstanding service. Thank you for making a lasting impression once again!

Wonderful experience we had at the Goodman, Mayfair. The service from Lara was simply awesome, she’s really sweet and attentive. The food was great, and needless to say, the steaks were perfect. Both my partner and I truly enjoyed ourself and thank you Goodman, for the birthday surprise. It was a really sweet gesture!

Our group of five—four adults and a teen—dined at Goodman Mayfair last night to celebrate a birthday, and while the evening started with a few small hiccups, it ended on a memorable note thanks to the exceptional food and thoughtful service. We had an early dinner reservation at 6:45pm, and upon arrival, the restaurant was relatively quiet, with a handful of diners. However, by the time we left at 9:45pm, it was absolutely buzzing—a fantastic atmosphere for a celebratory evening. We were initially seated at a rectangular table, though I’d hoped for a round table (perfect for chatting and seeing everyone during a birthday celebration). Amani, the manager, explained that the round table was needed for a larger party. While this felt slightly disappointing, it turned out to be a non-issue—Amani later came to our table and graciously moved us when the other party cancelled. It was a small gesture that made a big difference to our evening. Thank you, Amani! Our server, Saffron, introduced “The Cut” – their specials board, showcasing steaks selected daily at their peak. While her explanation was a bit difficult to hear due to the background music, she was attentive and knowledgeable when we asked questions. We ordered fillet steaks for the whole table, along with a selection of sides, wine and cocktails. The food? Outstanding. The steaks were beautifully cooked (the stilton gravy deserves a special mention—it’s heavenly!), and the sides were absolutely mouth-watering. Unfortunately, one steak, ordered medium, arrived slightly undercooked and had to be sent back. While the staff handled it politely and efficiently, it did mean that one member of our group was left waiting while the rest of us tucked in. The wine service was also slightly bumpy—the first choice wasn’t available—but the alternative “orange” white wine we selected turned out to be excellent, so no complaints there. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food itself, coupled with the wonderful atmosphere as the restaurant filled up. We also loved the quirky touch of the “100 Club”—a cabinet full of knives with regular diners’ names engraved on them. Only 99 more visits to go! To top it off, the birthday celebration was rounded out with a surprise cake and candle, which the restaurant very kindly took off the bill—such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, Goodman Mayfair delivers delicious food with friendly, professional service in a warm and lively setting. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it’s worth it for a truly special occasion. A little less pretension and a touch more attentiveness at the start would make this a perfect 10, but by the end of the night, we walked out happy, full, and lighter in the wallet—exactly what you expect from a top steakhouse experience. ;0) Highly recommended.

Phillipe, was our server, and he made it for us. We’ve dined at many places but never received service like he gave us for our son’s 18th birthday. Absolutely exceptional, as well as the food. Will defintely return. Thanks for the cocktails , philippe asked us what we liked and came back with what he thought we’d like and they were spot on. Amazing place for a treat

I love this department store. So many lovely displays! And Christmastime is all the lovelier sparking tinsel and shiny ornaments a delight although my advice is to take the lift all the way to top floor then make your way down to each floor via the stairs at the back of the store.

Liberty Street in London is an absolute gem! The historic charm, vibrant atmosphere, and incredible shopping make it a must-visit. From unique boutiques to delightful cafes, every corner offers a special experience. The attention to detail in the architecture and the warm, welcoming vibe make it stand out. Perfect for a leisurely stroll or finding one-of-a-kind treasures. Truly a 10/10 destination!

One of London's finest shops, dating back to the 19th century and built in the Tudor revival style. The building is an attraction in itself, with attractive details imitating a Tudor manor house, and rooms built around a central open space. Liberty is famous for its print fabrics, but also offers a great range of product lines beyond these. Visiting in the pre-Christmas period was a memorable shopping experience, and the range of high quality Christmas gifts and decorations was second to none.

It's a nice departmental store, that was famous for linen and cloth. They're now a multi-brand, multi-sectional departmental store, with a lot of store assistants helping you with your questions. It's located along Regent Street, which makes things convenient if you're in the area.
Flo Yeow - a month ago

Probably one of the coolest stores in London. Great traditional/historic but also new brands and great fabrics. Christmas shop is also recommended. One tip: instead of using the main elevators, go and find some others than people doesn't use and are totally available ;)

Ping Pong is a great place to come for gluten free dim sum and more! The menu is very straight forward as to what is gluten free, with a good amount of options. I highly recommend trying a little bit of everything since the portions are sized to where you can do this. The food comes out piping hot and fresh, and is extremely tasty. The place itself can be a little noisy, but worth it for the food!

A weekend in London and our friend couldn't get us here quicker..... thankfully we managed to get a table. Service was on point, never a minute there wasn't staff walkong about, clearing plates and offering more food or drinks. Food was awesome, some of the best we've ever had. Sad there was no draught but a large beer followed by a few cocktails soon dulled that negative!! Buzzing atmosphere woth a mix of clients which always allows for some good vibes.

Came here for my birthday and loved it. The food was all amazing and came super quick and our waitress was really friendly and explained everything to us when ordering. Would definitely come back!

I came with a group for bottomless brunch. My food, the vegan menu, was decent and well served. Some of the group that had the original menu didn’t enjoy every dish, with almost everyone didn’t eat the chicken truffle gyoza. My biggest issue were the cocktails and service. Since you have to pay extra (42,50 pounds per person) I expected a decent quality cocktail, but it didn’t meet my standards. The waiters were also slow and rather dry. They never came to check up on our table and it almost felt like they were actively avoiding us.

Came before dinner time so it was nice and quiet. The service was good, and most dishes were fine. Churros were nice and the octopus was cooked well. We also got the seafood paella and the waiter said it was salty (which we thought would be fine) but that was an understatement; it compared to eating the ocean with each bite! Could not finish it.

Aqua Nueva offers a chic Spanish dining experience with a modern twist. Firstly, the service was exceptional. Despite us mixing up our scheduling—arriving a week early on a bustling Saturday evening—the staff graciously accommodated us without delay. Their professionalism and willingness to explain the menu and each dish added a touch of sophistication to our evening. Secondly, the food presented a mix of highs and lows. The octopus main dish was stellar; I had to hold myself back from licking the plate clean. My wife was looking at me weirdly while I was in throes of passion. Their renditions of patatas bravas and truffle croquettas were also impressive, though I wished for more than the few drops of sauce provided. The duck breast was tasty and not gamey at all but unfortunately became dry halfway through the meal. The pulled pork sliders were disappointing as the pork lacked salt and needed more seasoning, and the buns seemed undercooked or not properly browned. The ambiance is sleek and glamourous, featuring low-lit tables beneath an arched, copper-clad ceiling, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere for dates, work dinners or pre drinks before a long night out. While the overall experience was positive, the high prices for food that didn't blow my mind make me hesitant to return soon. However, Aqua Nueva would be a perfect venue for professional get togethers or special occasions where ambiance and service are paramount.

We came on a quiet Monday evening. It was perfect after a long day. Every bite was surprisingly delicious so we kept asking for the menu to order more. Even dishes I wouldn’t normally order, I tried here because I wanted to see what they’d do. Lamb, duck, pork, turbot, crab, prawns, ham, sardines, churros and Catalan crème.

RECENTLY: Updating my review as we visited again recently and this time the experience was utterly bad. Unfriendly staff, far too loud music that we had to shout to be heard, incredibly slow service - it was an hour before we had food on the table, and terrible food! The waiter tried to convince us that the dangerously salty prawn paella was normal- if you have to warn people before they order a dish, then you need to change the dish not double down that "that's how it's made". The portions were significantly smaller and dishes were either underflavoured or over salted. And despite asking how we wanted our meats cooked, came out with incorrect dishes. We didn't even bother with a second round of drinks or dessert. Utterly bad second experience. It was a real shame because I was particularly excited to revisit, to be let down so colossally. PREVIOUSLY: Such a wonderful experience! The location was ba little difficult to find as Google basically sends you across the street but once I noticed the aqua sign, I came to ask for directions and found the place! Nueva & Kyoto share an entrance. We were welcomed warmly at every step, and shown to our table. The decor was beatiful, the dj was great and the vibe was chilled and classy. Our server Magdalena was lovely and attentive throughout our entire experience. Glasses were never empty- be it water, wine or the delicious cocktails. Our table loved the tapas dining style - we were able to sample so much on the menu. Our faves were the hake, the manchego and the mushroom croquettes (the seafood one was a bit lacklustre), and the bikini sandwich. Apart from the croquettes which came as 6, everything was served in portions for 2. Sadly the seafood paella was sold out, which was a real shame for an early Saturday evening booking, and the lamb was lacking a little something. However the desserts were lovely! I loved the flan, and my guests were won over by the crema Catalana. The churros could have been a little sweeter to counter the dark chocolate sauce but the citrus marmalade was a great touch. We left very happy after taking many photos on the beatiful terrace of course. Thanks to the whole team for a wonderful and beautiful and DELICIOUS evening! We'll be back in the summer!

There are two restaurants/bars with amazing views on Oxford Street. I went to Aqua Kyoto last time and loved it. This time, I tried the Spanish restaurant next door, Aqua Nueva. The décor is modern and chic with Spanish characteristics. There’s a big bull statue at the entrance, which I think is artistic and very cool. We went for their Brunch Menu with drinks option and I had: Rustic tomato bread,Chorizo iberico, Manchego cheese and Padrón peppers (my favourite!). These are classic tapas, but they tasted really good. We also tried other very tasty tapas also included in the menu: Goat’s cheese marmalade and Iberico ham,Fried cod with tartar sauce and langoustine Gilda and beef skewer with potato spiral. Personally I like seafood and the flavours of those tapas were well-balanced and delicious! The main courses were very impressive. We tried Braised beef short rib with potato gratin and pan-fried salmon with grilled seasonal vegetables Both dishes had a great mix of flavour, and I enjoyed it very much. There is one dessert on that brunch menu which is glazed churros with orange marmalade. I'm not a fan of overly sweet desserts, but the orange marmalade had a slight bitterness that balanced the sweetness perfectly. I really liked it. Service was excellent. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There was a live band playing Spanish and Southern European-style music, which added to the great atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back!

Nice pub in the heart of the city, Famous for their pie 🥧 I took the steak and Stilton pie it’s was nice but maybe just for my taste not so good maybe the mushroom can be better? but all my friends were happy with their pie they said was really good The dessert nothing special we could have avoided them The service tho is nice and friendly It was really busy on a Friday night if you want to eat you need to book and I find it a bit expensive 25£ for a pie but I understand they are famous for that and they are in the city centre Anyway you can try and give it a go ! I don’t think you gonna be disappointed Thanks!

Amazing experience! Had the best pie ever. I Have to recommend the venison pie, wonderful favours and good potion size. But the best part was the staff. Super friendly, especially Danny who toyed with my emotions and mash, and who was so helpfully and make this experience even better

Had an incredible time at the Windmill. Came highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint. Try the scotch egg, sausage roll and/or pies, all top notch. Also, consider yourself lucky if Danny is manning the bar. Can’t wait to come back!

An attractive pub with delicious food. There're good vegan options on the menu. We weren't wowed by the staff, but they were efficient. The venue downstairs is great; we went to a daytime family event there

Great pub located just off Regent Street near Oxford Circus. Came on a busy Thursday and had a great time with excellent drinks. Inside was not as busy as outside and managed to get a table. They have a wide drinks selection and a lot of craft beers and cocktails as well. Tried the Hibiscus Refresher which was great! Staff were very friendly and helpful, cannot fault them. Bathrooms were also very clean. I would highly recommend if you are in the area. I look forward to visiting again. Follow me on Google Maps for more pub reviews.

Amazing! Sitting in the restaurant felt like entering a new world, hence the atmosphere was great. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fattoush, the couscous and the chicken & green olive tagine.

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat in a Sunday, when everything closed early and this was one of the places open. We were in the mood for Middle Eastern food and this place really did not disappoint! Fabulous selection of vegan foods that were really tasty with fresh warm bread to perfectly bring it together. The price was about £70 for two people who left full and satisfied. That included drinks, so the price is very fair and the location & atmosphere make it well worth it. Finally some praise for the staff who were just the right level of attentive and friendly. Will be back!

Very good authentic Lebanese cuisine! Had a super tasty mixed meats grill and some amazing assorted sides and meze. Everything was spot on and tasty! And the prices are very reasonable considering its location💯 The only thing I have to fault on my visit was the slightly haphazard service, but maybe that was due to the number of guests 🤷‍♂️ I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant. I’ll be back for sure! 💯🎯

Great food, so very tasty! A few highlights I loved: - Hommos was generous, the bread served with it was a perfect combination. - Chicken taouk with garlic dip was excellent. - Fries with garlic dip again were so good, crispy with some spices to give it even more flavour, though a bit salty overall Love it, will be back to try more things!

Came for lunch break the service is always quick just like in every other shop of the chain. I wish the tortilla was a bit more toasted or warmed up but overall it was okay. Very friendly staff. We sat downstairs where also the toilets are.

Tucked behind Oxford Circus, Tortilla is a hidden gem for a quick and satisfying lunch. I recently tried their naked burrito, which allows you to customize your meal by choosing your style of rice, beans, meat, and salad. The options were plentiful, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. While you can add extra toppings for an additional cost, the large bowl I had was already quite filling and reasonably priced at £9. It's a perfect spot if you're looking for a convenient and tasty Mexican meal in the heart of London. Definitely worth a visit!
Tanya Malik - 5 months ago

I love coming to this store. The team is friendly and always willing to help. They make you feel at home when normally lunch breaks are synonymous with rushing yourself or grabbing and going. The experience I got is consistent and has become my favourite place to have food when I work in the centre. The price point is also balanced. You get decent portions for what you pay. Excellent value for money. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.

Good Breakfast and Good Pasta In busy London, there are a lot of cafes that serve pastries and coffee. All of them are small without toilets. The customers must be living or working nearby. Not a big fan of cold pastries anyway. Finally found Ponti's that serves hot food. With toilets. Nice, cosy and clean environment. Different to most of the London's restaurants, the tables are not too close to each other. What a good place to take a break. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Excellent pasta. I cannot ask more.

Second time we've been here. It's a lovely place to go to. Our waiter (Ifti) was a great guy, very attentive. Only criticisms is that my plate & my Calzone should have been warmer - both were on the cool side. Still, nice tasting food & lovely atmosphere.

We were underwhelmed with our afternoon of tea and cakes but the staff were so attentive that I've boosted what would have been a lower rating. We started with a glass of fizz which was surprisingly crisp and refreshing. Our initial round of espressos were lukewarm but our friendly server made adjustments and they were perfect for the rest of our visit. Desserts were almost all disappointing, which was a let down after enjoying such fresh, tasty sandwiches. The macarons however, were excellent. A pleasant experience though I'm not sure that we will return.

I don't know what they do to beef, but it is the bomb. It made me cry tears of joy. I'm not joking. I have visited this place 4 times and never been disappointed. The service is exceptional - they even always remember which is my favourite wine The chips and side dishes are also really good - I particularly like the onion & tomato salad with fresh herbs. They could improve their limited beer selection...
