The host was friendly and hospitable and made small talk as she led us to our table upstairs. They had a great, spacious bar downstairs as well that was appealing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It has a cozy and modern feel to it with the unique metal chain window 'curtains', pipe style light chandeliers, church pew style or padded booths as well as table and bar seating. They have a huge deer made out of pennies as decor above the entrance as well as a bull decopaged with paper bills upstairs. The upstairs overlooks the lower floor in a balcony style. I appreciated the view to outside with the 20 foot windows below. Perfect for my first people watching experience in London. We were greeted from our server right away and she made wine and cocktail recommendations to start. We had a burger from the main course as well as scallops and the salmon three ways from the starters. The burger was generous, very juicy and flavorful. Would recommend and try this again. The scallops were a decent size and came four to an order. The salmon trio was great. One was like a butter salmon you could put on the bread, the second a small piece of raw salmon and the third more like a salmon spread. Overall, great atmosphere, service and food. I would recommend them!

8.5/10 I ordered…read morethe flat iron steak, cooked medium well, and I'd give it a solid 8/10. It wasn't the best steak I've ever had, but it was very juicy and cooked nicely, so still enjoyable. The truffle mac & cheese was on another level -- 10/10+. Hands down the best mac & cheese I've ever had in my entire life. Super cheesy, insanely creamy, with the perfect crispy crumbs on top. Absolutely flawless. I also had the Passion Fruit Collins (vodka, Aperol, passion fruit, vanilla, soda) and it was a 10/10. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and not too sweet -- an excellent cocktail. Service was amazing and the staff was just as great. To top it all off, they do this fun little thing at the end where they give you a tiny knife, you return it, and they surprise you with a free mini ice cream cone . Such a thoughtful touch. Great food, great drinks, great service -- I'd definitely come back.

Happy to get a reservation here! We arrived a little early, and our table was ready.. so we got to sit down earlier. Sandra was our server, she was awesome! She checked on us frequently and answered any questions we had... I curious about the applesauce ingredients, she came back immediately with the list : ) She also asked if we had any food intolerance or allergies, I stated lactose. She made sure the accommodation was made for a lactose free order. We both ordered the All In - 28 sterling per person - veggies, duck fat potatoes, slice of beef, pork, lamb, Yorkshire pudding, endless gravy , and sauces. Mine minus the pudding and dairy free gravy. Food came out pretty fast. Meat was tasty especially the beef. Lamb and pork was a little fatty. I loved and piled the horseradish on the beef. I found the potatoes to be a little chewy on the outside , not the crisp I had expected. Gravy was nice and pourable over everything lol My mock a rita was lovely, just very skimp amount. My small glass contained a lot of ice, drink maybe was halfway the glass. Service was excellent! Food was ok.

Our service was good, but the menu is confusing if you're from out of town. Most steaks are served single portion not shareable. My favorites of the night were the pigs head on toast and the usual suspect cocktail. Steaks were flavorful, okay, but highly fatty. The chips were what you would expect. The autumn salad was beet and apple, the broccoli salad had no pecans in it. We shared a few steaks and sides amongst 5 people. Overall, it didn't feel the most welcoming as someone from out of town, food was average, and prices were high for what we received.

Nice steak restaurant with high quality steaks/food, but I have to say, it is very overpriced…read more Chateaubriand steak (93 GBP for 600g) - This lean cut of steak was cooked to a perfect medium and pretty good. However, it was a whopping 93 GBP for 600g, which is meant to share between 2 people, but still not that much (refer to my pic). This is simply just too high of a price for this. Bone marrow and onions (12 GBP) - This was surprisingly good. Although the marrow itself didn't have much of a flavor, it was a nice buttery consistency to spread on the bread. The onions were cooked very well. Sticky Toffee Pudding (9.50 GBP) - This was more of a bread like dessert than a pudding, but was tasty and not overly sweet despite the toffee (which is good). The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The service speed is pretty quick. The interior is decorated in a nice yet not too pretentious steakhouse style. There were still plenty of open tables available on a Sunday night. Overall, while the steak and food are very good, the steak is simply too overpriced to justify me getting it again. Maybe worth trying once but not twice. I would potentially come back for the other menu options though.

I normally prefer chicken but the duck wasn't bad. All the food was decent and the staff were all nice. It's unfortunate that the walk to the restaurant passes by the smelly toilets. Also there was only one lift working that day so it took a little time to get up/down.

I've been looking forward to visiting Duck & Waffle for quite some time. The views are incredible,…read morethe space itself is striking, and on paper it promises that perfect London mix of skyline, late-night energy, and elevated comfort food. Unfortunately, our experience was soured before it even had a chance to begin. My girlfriend and I walked in excited, completely amicable, simply hoping to head upstairs for a bite and drinks. We were greeted by the doorman with an immediate, dismissive "Are you good?" -- not in a welcoming or helpful tone, but in a way that felt skeptical and unnecessarily confrontational. There was no warmth, no "welcome in," no attempt at hospitality. It immediately set an uncomfortable tone. He then proceeded to call upstairs as though he were doing us some sort of favor just by allowing us to go up. The entire interaction felt transactional and judgmental rather than gracious. First impressions matter, especially at a place that positions itself as a premium dining destination. Hospitality begins at the door, not at the table. When we finally made it upstairs, the room was filled with visibly drunk, rowdy groups -- which only made the earlier attitude feel even more misplaced. If that environment is acceptable (and profitable), then two polite guests looking for drinks and food shouldn't be met with suspicion at the entrance. By that point, the damage was done. The initial interaction had already rubbed us the wrong way, and the energy upstairs didn't help. We ultimately decided to leave before even sitting at our table. That's how strongly the first impression impacted us. It's difficult to justify staying somewhere when you don't feel genuinely welcomed from the outset. Duck & Waffle has the potential to be memorable for all the right reasons. But someone representing the brand at the very front needs to understand that hospitality isn't optional -- it's foundational. A simple, respectful welcome would have changed everything. I hope management takes this seriously, because no guest should feel judged or dismissed before they even step inside.

Shoutout to our cabbie who, when asked "If you could eat anywhere near The Ned, where would you…read morego?" didn't miss a beat before declaring: Hawksmoor. We had zero expectations, but ended up having what might be our favorite meal of the whole trip. The staff? Absolute gems -- especially patient with us Texans who came armed with 400 questions (bless them). The restaurant's tucked downstairs, and here's a tip: book bar seating. Not at the bar, but in the room with the bar. It's cozier, prettier, and avoids the more standard dining space. The vibe? Understated elegance. Think cozy meets classy without any of the snobbery. Now, let's talk food. The Yorkshire pudding was no slouch, but the vegetarian Wellington--oh man. I was fully prepared to mourn the absence of beef, but it turns out blasphemy tastes incredible. Rich, flavorful, and completely unexpected. My jaw said "wow" before my brain could form a sentence. Would we go back? In a heartbeat. And possibly request the same cabbie for more divine dining directions.

We both ordered it and the server notified us that it is a vegetarian dish so I am wondering if this mistake occurs frequently and they need to make it more apparent in the menu. The server was a little rude when I was asking questions about the menu since in America we use different terminology, and he expressed how impatient he was for my questions. He was also not extremely present at the table. Luckily for us other servers tended to us as well. The other dishes that we ordered were very good and I would definitely come to this place again.

I tried the British beef in a ribeye and great flavor from the grass fed. Being that I am an American I passed on the Goodman special which is an American corn-fed ribeye, but the two mates at the table opted for that. They reported it was more than excellent. The table had mushrooms that were very good. One of our table mates opted for the burger which looked very good and he reported was excellent with crispy fries on the side. I do not throw around the 5 stars to often and was between 4 and 5, but landed on 5.
