"The staff were attentive and looked after you, quick to deliver, clear table, offer the dessert menu and ask if you would like anything else?"
"All round stellar service, from when you walk in door, all the way through the food service, until you leave."
Cons:
"But the initial guy who took our order did not place the oysters order and they only served it together with our mains."
"The waiters were the only let down here. Cold service and at some point they just abandoned our dining room."
"Food was excellent, but service was poor. We noted on our reservation that we were there celebrating an engagement, but no staff acknowledged this or offered congratulations."
"Our waiter only took our order, much like a robot would have, did not smile at us, did not even look at us really other than for taking our order."
"We were left feeling like we were being taken advantage of as tourists, which put a bit of a damper on our otherwise enjoyable evening."
"We had lunch here recently, there were four of us. The service was sub standard and lacked attention."
"Our server barely visited our table and it took nearly an hour from the time we finished our meal to actually pay our bill."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The Beef Wellington lacked flavor but overall was good."
"The food was exceptional (I highly recommend the salmon en croute and the chocolate glory for dessert!)"
"A delightful dining experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh oysters, deep fried oysters, caviar, salmon tartar and beef wellington before finishing with a soufflé."
"The food was absolutely sublime - the baked salmon pie in champagne sauce was to die for."
"The châteaubriand for one with truffled mash potatoes, spinach and truffled French fries... was heavenly!!"
"I opted for the sea bream, and I was delighted to find that it was prepared with exquisite precision, showcasing the chef's mastery in the art of cooking."
"The food was simply wonderful -"
Cons:
"Once fun, now outrageously expensive."
"Small portions and a bit over priced."
"Everything was overpriced, which is to be expected in soho, but did not justify the lack of great service that we experienced."
"The Wellington steak, a dish that can only be described as a culinary nightmare."
"I also tried the chicken Kiev and it was below average with no sides."
"The food was average and extremely overpriced."
"Delicious chicken pie but overpriced for what it was."
Ambiance & Decor
Pros:
"Not to mention the press for champagne button is such a novelty."
"A very romantic and intimate setting."
"Gorgeous decor and great customer service."
"A very nice restaurant spread over two floors. The interior design is art decor with a Russian flavor and is quite impressive."
"Lovely atmosphere and cosy booths Art Deco style, good excuse to dress up 😊."
"Vibes of this place are soooo amazing and the Christmas decor made it even more joyous."
"Atmosphere was very chic and upscale."
Cons:
"We had a place in the basement. The noise level within the party decorations is quite high and doesn't really suit this type of food."
"Multicoloured lights as if it was winter Wonderland, awful atmosphere."
"The atmosphere was quite lacking, they played random chart music."
"The ambience was mediocre as you could barely hear the music they were playing from their speakers."
"However, I wasn’t too impressed with the garishly lighted dance floor in the middle of the restaurant, with lights going off every 30 minutes."
"Nothing on the menu sounded really appealing. They've overcomplicated some classics here."
"The service charge was rather cheeky given the way that we were disregarded."
Value
Pros:
"Reasonably priced drinks."
"Good wine menu with bottles well priced."
"Superb service and good food without extremely silly prices."
"Great atmosphere, amazing price on champagne and excellent caviar."
"Additionally, they offer an impressive selection of champagnes at very reasonable prices."
"You will pay a premium for the experience, but in my opinion it is worth every penny."
"I couldn't believe how reasonably everything was priced for such a high end meal and experience - I can't wait to come back!"
Cons:
"For these prices you would want to feel special."
"Our bill came to around £400 so be prepared to spend if you do have dinner and drinks here."
"The food was delicious but insanely over priced."
"For the price that you are paying, it's a bit over priced."
"It is for those who care only about posting on their social media that they eat at expensive restaurants."
"Extremely overpriced! Our bill was £300+ for 3 people."
"My only warning is that it is quite expensive for what it is."
