    I took a colleague to lunch to celebrate her birthday and so glad I chose the Fitz's Brasserie. The whole experience from being greeted, to having our coats taken, to being seated, to ordering, to eating and finally to paying (!) was very enjoyable and my friend was delighted and surprised by the birthday 'plate' which was a lovely touch. A big thank you and mention to our server (sorry I didn't take his name) who was friendly, professional, attentive and a total credit to the restaurant. I forgot to mention that the food was delicious as well...

    Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!
