    Wild mushroom linguine

    Service was pleasant and quick. Food was fresh, hot and quickly delivered. Had the theatre menu. Great taste and flavour. Family was very impressed. Highly recommended. Will go again

    Not great. Genuinely underwhelmed. The service was painful, each time having to repeat to the differing waiting staff what you wanted. Food was decidedly average. The lobster Mac and Cheese wasn't even as tasty as a supermarket one, the steaks were meh. Puddings were nice enough, although the chocolate brownie was way too rich, but lovely and perfect texture! Pecan pie was good. I was freezing as sat bang in the middle so the draft from the stairwell was behind me, so had to put my coat on. £400 for 4 people of which 2 didn't have starters or drinking. Won't be going back.

    Simply the best steak I have ever had. You must have the pepper corn sauce, spinach and truffle fries. If I ever go here again I will eat the same meal again. Pure bliss.

    Sunday brunch here is fantastic. The pancakes, the avacado toast all delicious. Great location in Covent Garden. Reservations necessary. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.

    Hmmm, foood, we all love a nice bit of greasy fatty food sometime Christopher's is an American-style restaurant that is popular with meat lovers due to its choice of grills. It has a buzzing atmosphere and is great fun for everyone if your by yourself ,with friends, or if you feel like a nice day / night out with the family!. Christopher's is a licensed bar and they also have outside catering and cater for vegetarians. Catering for private parties of up to 200 guests is available upon request. Is i always say you always need a lot of money if you plan to go out to eat or drink in the west end as it can get very pricey, but if your looking to fill your belly this is the one.

    Notice the difference !!

    Came in for a night cap with my wife an hour before closing. We grabbed a seat and waited almost 5 minutes for the waitress to find us. Place only had 15 people across four tables present. Ordered martinis. Dirty and a vesper. When they finally came, one seemed a tad short. Finally flagged the waitress down to ask about how they make their martinis. She started to spout off what was in it. I simply asked the amount after telling me two different amounts, I finally told her I was all set. The fact she spoke minimal English as ironic given we are in England. At 11 pounds a drink, this place is a rip off. Won't ever be coming back.

    We had an amazing dinner here before seeing the Lion King across the street at the Lyceum Theater. The three course theater menu was excellent, especially the sirloin streak! One of the best steaks I've ever eaten. And the Porn Star martini is excellent too!! Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

    Absolutely fine. That pretty much sums up my experience here. Can't say anything more positive but really I can't say anything negative either. There was nothing wrong with the venue or the food, but I was left feeling pretty "meh" about the whole experience. On arrival our coats were taken & we checked in at reception. Straight away I thought of similarly set up places like Hawksmoor & had high hopes. Upstairs our table was in the back corner so not the best. Looking at the tables and the room I felt like I was in a parish hall being used for an event - no real atmosphere & the centre tables seemed randomly rotated to fit in. The food was nice, the coffee was terrible. My BF had steak & eggs which was literally a piece of steak with 2 eggs on top, centred on a massive empty plate. I had the mushrooms & then pancakes. All in all pretty underwhelming but not horrible by any means. The staff were pleasantly aloof. At £65 for brunch for two people I'd expect to walk away feeling stuffed & singing a places praises but not so in this case. There are plenty of other, more exciting options for brunch in London so I don't think I'll be back.

    Average. Nothing special. Noisy. Mediocre drinks. Inattentive service. Nothing swanky about this place.

    Battersea Pie Station, under the arches of the lower ground floor of Covent Garden's Market…read moreBuilding, serves up proper British grub. Simply look for The Pie Shop sign and pick your pie which is served with silky smooth mashed potatoes and lashings of rich gravy. Every time I eat a pie this place is my benchmark for the best pies ever! The  menu at Battersea Pie Station includes classics like steak and stout, minced beef and onion and chicken and mushroom, plus more creative, veggie options including butternut squash and goat's cheese. The steak and stout is my ultimate favorite! This place is my go to pie place every time I'm in London. I always try to stay in Covent Garden just so I can come here. This is my basis of the perfect meat pie with the pleasingly firm crusts and sides of mash and roasted potatoes are so delicious. The rich red-wine gravy comes separately in a small jug. I smother the pie with the gravy. Ingredient quality was excellent. They have mini pies and the regular sized pies. Even for a counter-service place this little cafe is terrific value - and you will be surprised that for Covent Garden you can eat a reasonably priced and uber delicious meal that makes me full the whole day! 5 stars can't wait to come back!

    Mrs. Lovett has nothing on this place! Perfect for a quick humble meat pie dinner before a fancy…read morepants opera. Every dish I tried was a hit. Minced Beef & Onion: The most popular, apparently. Smooth and moist inside with a buttery flaky outside. Steak & Stout: Same great crust, but with a very distinctive inside, chunks of firm roast and thick gravy where you could actually taste the stout. Probably my favorite pie here. Chicken & Mushroom: A nice variation from beef, but by no means lesser. With it's large chunks and umami gravy, this was like a quick hit fix for when craving a proper chicken pot pie. Mash & Gravy: The mash was smooth and buttery. The gravy was more than plentiful. Kinda lives under the shadow of the delicious pies though. Sticky Toffee Pudding: Good, but not great. The toffee sauce felt a bit too thick and wasn't as warmed as I like it. The sponge cake was alright, but kinda dry, like they just plopped into the toffee sauce puddle. But it did do a good job of soaking up the sauce with a little spoon dexterity.
