Another server came by, asked if we wanted water, and this time we got it. It was like that all night. Got an appetizer of octopus. Excellent! Had fish stew as a main. Good but not outstanding. We did have a cocktail and wine with dinner, but the bill was higher than the quality of the food/experience. For example, out bottle of water was 7.75 pounds.

Loved this restaurant! We came on a Monday night around 6:30, they have a coat check available so…read moreyou can stash your big bags and coats. We sat at the bar for a few minutes and it was so pretty, like a movie from old timey London. We both ordered a gin martini and they were perfect. Next we ordered the set restaurant month menu with three courses - a total steal. I enjoyed the salted cod and egg dish for appetizer, the salmon for an entree and chocolate ice cream for dessert. We also split the fish pie because we wanted to try it and I would highly recommend ordering that - it was very unique and unlike something I had tasted recently. The salmon was also cooked perfectly and was my favorite dish. The ambience was so nice, it was like an old movie set and the booth we sat at was really comfortable and stylish.

Bottom line: Whether…read moreyou're in combination of the two or just crave a burger or lobster by itself, burger and lobster has amazing food despite the hefty price tag. I ordered the Jersey burger (medium rare) and fries . The Jersey burger is described as Jersey beef, truffle confit, onions, smoked burger sauce, mature cheddar cheese, truffle and Grana Padano chips. I think it was on a seeded bun, but I don't know which one. The burger was super juicy. Medium rare and delicious. London whips up a mean burger. That's it's crown jewel. The fries were a bit thicker for 'chips' but the Parmesan and black truffle really turned something sublime into something extraordinary . The quality of the 8 oz burger meat really made this truly special . Would order again if i lived here. But only on occasion because it's super pricy.

Randall & Aubin is one of those places I hope never goes away…read more The oysters are delicious, and the French-leaning menu is exactly what it advertises itself to be. Really good food done well. It's a beautiful space in that classic Soho way. It's loud. It's packed. And feels like you need to move fast if there's a special you want before someone else orders it. But that's part of the experience. The room is raucous, busy, and full of energy. Once you get past the hustle and bustle, the food really delivers. Fantastic oysters, solid cooking, and a lively atmosphere that feels genuine rather than forced. It knows what it is and leans into it. It's a good place. A really good place.

Fun Fact: Smack is the brainchild of the Burger & Lobster restaurant group!…read more I love lobster rolls (it's one of my favorite foods!) and was excited to see that Smack was a close walk from our hotel. My husband and I both ordered the Classic rolls (with Japanese mayo and lemon) and shared a lobster bisque. The lobster was fresh and the mayo had a nice zing to it, but the best part of it all was the bun! There was a perfect ratio of butter and toasted bread! The food here is pricey, but that's a given for most seafood dishes. The restaurant itself is quaint and has a mix of bar style and table seating.

These fries were skinny and sooo good! The lobster soup was okay. There were more veggie flavor than lobster but they were a lot of lobster in the soup.

3 years later and it's just as good as I remember…read more 1. I don't update my reviews often, but I think about the sticky toffee pudding too often not to. 2. It was my partner's first time trying it, and he was blown away from the very first bite - I honestly think he was in shock at how good it was. 3. It's still as warm, sticky, and sweet as I remember. I love the contrast between the hot pudding and the cold clotted cream. The toffee sauce is divine - I would happily accept a cup of it on the side for extra pouring. 4. I also love that most of the time, you can walk in without a reservation and get seated for dessert. I honestly think it'd be a crime to visit London and not stop by Hawksmoor.

First day in London and we wanted a lighter meal to account for the time difference. We came to…read moreBarrafina and it is terrific! The interior is mostly bar and small hightop seating, but it manages to create close and intimate sining areas for 2 very nicely. The food seems authentic. Mostly done tappas-style but much better than in the states. We got the Olives, Oxtail slider, Rice with seafod, Langustines, potatoes, cauliflower and Pluma Iberica. All were very good and the Oxtail, rice/seafood, and pluma Iberica were hauntingly scrumptious. Service was genuine, accommodating, caring and prompt. The best example of that was the timing and staging of dishes so we never got more than 2 at once and could enjoy each before the next plates arrived. Best service I have ever had at a tappas or small plates restaurant! If you are in London, you gotta go!!

I thought higher but Fiance thinks lower so we will meet in the middle haha Roasted Duck-- I thought this was tasty and full of flavor, paired well with my noodle soup Crispy Pork Belly-- good and crispy, but Fiance thought it could use more flavor Egg Noodle Soup-- it hit the spot because it was freezing outside lol but i believe it was dry egg noodle vs fresh egg noodle that was used Stir-fry vegetables-- good but also a bit oily House Fried Rice -- Fiance's favorite dish So happy this time around we got to try Four Seasons, go early beause the restaurant will quickly fill up around lunch time!
