I really want to give this restaurant a '3.5' rating. '4' is just a bit too high, but this is still…read morea solid place for a meal. Good for couples, families, or groups. The atmosphere was tropical and relaxed. The staff were friendly, albeit a touch inattentive. The wait for a soda was so long it had us wondering if it had been forgotten. This would have been acceptable if the place was busy, however only two other tables were occupied in the dining room. Hubby and I ordered the jerk spring rolls, chili and garlic prawns , bbq ribs, and fries. This light meal of small bites had strengths and weaknesses. The prawns were 'ok' but overcooked. The bbq sauce was DELICIOUS and should be sold in bottles. Fries were just right, and the spring rolls were our favorite item.

So my friend and I decided to try the Tropical Bottomless Brunch at Cotton's Rum Shack (in…read moreShoreditch) for Jubilee weekend. We both felt unimpressed and as if it wasn't worth the £34.50 we paid. To be fair, they kept the drinks flowing but the food was a let down. To start, I ordered chick pea curry. It came with only one piece of bread, which was not enough. For the entree, I ordered the spiced chicken tenders and BBQ pork rib. The plate looks sad to me, with only two ribs, two small chicken tenders, and maybe a handful of fries. My friend ordered the jerk salmon and was surprised at how tiny the portion was for the price. For dessert we got the rum cake, which was okay but not great. Definitely have had better rum cakes in my day. Probably would not go back here, but maybe see for yourself!

While researching for a Beef Wellington restaurant to take my boyfriend as a part of our London…read morebucketlist, I identified 45 Jermyn St as best value. I made a reservation online with Seven Rooms. The address is in the business' name. To get to this restaurant you can take the Piccadilly line and exit Piccadilly Circus and it's less than a 10 minutes walk over. We headed to the area a little early to explore Piccadilly Circus and Fortnum and Mason next door. Upon entering, there is a coat check that can take our outerwear or backpacks. The card they gave us for our belongings were really fancy. Then we were seating at a cozy half booth. Since we knew what we wanted, we were able to quickly order when our server came around to take our orders. We wanted the Beef Wellington for 2 (£99.50) that comes with sides of Dauphinoise Potatoes and Green Beans in Peppercorn Sauce. We were surprised to be told it would be a 40 minutes wait time for the Beef Wellington due to the tableside sauce making, and it seemed like only one person was performing this task. We got some bread to start, but I didn't want to eat too much cause it would ruin my appetite for the main attraction. I also ordered a glass of Massale Pinot Noir (£15.25) and asked that it would be brought out when the food was ready. When the food was finally ready the tableside service was a fun show. All the ingredients were premeasured for the tableside chef, and he showed us every single ingredient he put it. Then he skillfully cut up the wellington without cracking or denting the crust. He mentioned starting out in pastry so he has some moves. The meal was a fantastic treat and the sides were much appreciated. The dauphinoise potatoes and green beans paired well with the wellington. The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and evenly. The whole experience was definitely a treat. I would recommend it if you're looking to try a beef wellington... After experiencing the Sunday Roast in London, I would say the Sunday Roast experience was less expensive for equivalent or greater enjoyment. Nevertheless this is one of the better value establishments if you are looked specifically for a beef wellington experience.

It's at the end of the street on the corner, so don't let an Uber drop you off in the middle of the street and make you look for 45. The waiters were very nice, patient and attentive. There was a waitress who showed us each ingredient she used to make the sauce for our Beef Wellington. At the end she flambayed our sauce and we poured it on the Wellington. I didn't really feel like it added anything significant in flavor to it. The restaurant is nice and I agree with other critiques; you can go in casual but you're better off dressing nicely. I would definitely eat there again. They had a delicious potato augratin and garlic green beans.

Our server Ali came out to take our order and helped service us through the evening. I am in hospitality so I know great service, finding out she is a manager made sense as you could tell by her passion, humbleness and approachabbility, you can definitely tell her energy and personality differed from the floor and shown as a great leader and that attitude you cannot teach and fake. As for the food, the zucchini or courgette(however you call it) was clean, thinly sliced with a smoked flavor without a burn mark on it. The Iberico secreto was great and if you haven't tried Iberico, its a game changer as I am a pork conssieuer. It's the Japanese wagyu of pork. A little goes a long way and I had my fair share of wagyu. Basque cheesecake was creamy and cheesy and different. Would recommend trying it once as I see this all over menus with Spanish influence restaurants Ask for Ali, trust me on this. Even if you don't like the food, the service will make the experience. You cant teach attitude and she was on point and experiences make you come back. Wherever you go and anyone that has you employed are lucky to have you!

My mom and I dined at Seabird during our trip to London. We were staying at the Hoxton Hotel where…read morethe restaurant is located, so this was a convenient dinner option for us. We shared three dishes and my mom ordered a salad. We were only moderately hungry, so the portion sizes were perfect for us. The shrimp and scallops were delicious. We shared one other dish that I can't recall the name of, but it also was delicious. We also enjoyed the service here. Our server was attentive although busy. He even took the time to listen to details of our trip and gave recommendations. I would recommend this spot especially if you're staying at The Hoxton or nearby in the Southwark area. Great food, and drinks with a nice view of London from the outside rooftop area.

While it may be a bit on the pricey side, the experience is undeniably worth every penny, especially if you're looking for a night of shared dishes, attentive service, and great atmosphere. the mood is perfect for an intimate dinner or a celebration with friends, as it was when i came here for my birthday! the guac was prepared on the table, and had a great freshness to it, but was not worth the money imo bc it tasted pretty ordinary to me. same for the antichuchos de pollo - they were so small and tasted like regular skewers to me - they had a nice smoky flavor, but nothing that couldn't be achieved at home easily. i liked the trio de maiz, which had many different types of maiz, and was presented beautifully! the dish was very fresh and almost nutty. also liked their take on patatas bravas, which was perfectly crispy and with a delicious creamy sauce. love love loved the tiradito de pez limon, which had the most melt in your mouth yellowtail crudo/sashimi. it was paired with an amazing slightly spicy green chili sauce, and overall flavors were phenomenal. the orange tobiko wasn't there though... the salmon was one of the best things i had that night - perfectly cooked and tender, melty and delicious! amazing flavor pairings, scrumptious overall! dessert was one of the highlights of the meal as well. the churros were citrusy and fried to perfection, and paired with a great sauce. my personal favorite was the passionfruit mango pavlova thing, which had such a bright tartness! everything was served on what looked like homemade pottery, so lovely! the price point seemed a little irrational for what we received, but everything was delicious, and the overall experience was amazing! highly recommend if you're feeling a bit posh or just want to treat yourself!

It's not a critically-acclaimed restaurant for nothing. This is Latin-American cuisine at its…read morefinest. The flavors are the closest to the authentic Latin creations I grew up eating, yet also manage to add their own unique and delicious twists to make them pop even more. The ingredients are carefully selected, paired well, and cooked to perfection to make every dish unforgettable. For my first run, I tried the Seared Braised Beef with julienned crispy potatoes, which reminds me of the Lomo Saltado we do in California. The beef is tender and succulent, salty & flavorful, and topped with sliced roasted veggies. The crispy potatoes are amazing, too, but I wish there had been more. This is also the first restaurant I've been to in London that serves fried yuca (cassava) since I moved here... and that was more than 4 years ago. If you're hungry, get this as your side. Brownie points to them for using truffle oil to give them that little extra flair. The drinks don't disappoint, either. Their cocktails are utilizing "better" versions of Latin spirits (think Fair Quinoa Vodka), which means they're slightly pricier but also offer a more varied experience. The wine list is also plentiful, so pick your poison. Given the lively nature of its environment, it's definitely a restaurant for the social experience. However, reservations in advance are strongly recommended, whether you're coming alone or in a group. The ONLY downside I could find about this place was their complete lack of alternative milks. So, if you want something other than dairy to go with your tea or coffee, you're out of luck. In my case, I ended up opting for their Espressini cocktail with Fair Trade Coffee Liqueur instead. I know. What a sacrifice.

We arrived at around 7 pm and there were still big tables of kids having afternoon tea and so it was a bit loud and a different energy to what we were expecting. We asked to move table to somewhere a little more quiet. Drinks took a while to arrive and service was generally quite disappointing. We asked for ice for our water a couple of times and no one ever came to bring any. It's a bit like we were forgotten about. Cocktails were decent but not remarkable. The food was good - squid ink risotto with cuttle fish. Needed additional seasoning but was happy to do that myself and had to ask for Parmesan cheese. While the food was good, it was not good enough to merit a return visit. Prices are fair but service charge is automatically added and I don't think they earned it this time around. In all, an average evening.
