    A great atmosphere and delicious food along with fantastic service - the only thing is it is a little loud, making conversation difficult sometimes.

    Lovely place, love the decor and the service was great. Rosey our server was phenomenal so patient, kind an informative. They went above and beyond to make my birthday special. Food was lovely an rich, the cocktails were delicious quite sweet but I enjoy that. The steak was so tender, unfortunately there were a couple times sold out which was a bit disappointing but didn't ruin the night as they have a lot of yummy options. I love the button to call your server that was a nice touch that I feel all restaurants should implement. I'd go back again thank you so much

    We saw lots of You Tube posts recommending BlackLock for Sunday Roast Lunch -- and it lived up to the hype. The "All in" platter was terrific- and the cocktails, wine and sides were really very good. We all agreed it was our best meal in London. Waitstaff are attentive and food comes quickly. It is a bit noisy, but that didn't detract from our meal.

    We loved the experience. My daughter has a severe nut allergy (specially walnuts), and we loved their determination to adapt and effectively communicate what she could and couldn’t eat. They have a detailed allergen menu that you can check beforehand in their web, which we did. Our server was great, very attentive and knowledgeable in the allergy matter, we didn’t catch his name but he was tall, I imagine the other servers are also educated, but we wanted to thank him for the experience. The food was very good, you could see the founder is danish as the salmon and back cod dishes were excellent quality (we’re Spanish so we’re used to better tuna but this one was really good nevertheless). our favourite was the black cod maki with red onion.
