Originally opened in 1991 in the heart of Covent Garden, Christopher’s has established itself as one of London’s best American restaurants, featured in Condé Nast, GQ, Tatler & Harper's Bazaar to name but a few. Comprising of three spaces that recall the heady-glamour of the Modern American era, Christopher’s brings you a Martini Bar on the ground floor, a glamorous Restaurant on the first floor and an intimate Club Room on the lower ground floor for private events. Housed in a Grade II listed building with an interesting past of its own, including opening in 1870 as London’s first licensed casino, Christopher's offers an extensive all day dining menu of Modern American cuisine. Weekend Brunch is also a specialty where healthy options are on offer alongside indulgent brunch favourites, including our signature french toast.

Really beautiful restaurant, not over the top decoration but very elegant. The food was great, and the brunch has some unique items which are very tasty - truffle scrambled eggs! Waiter was friendly and the food came out very quick! Will definitely be going back.

This was sadly to say, quite a disappointing experience. We waited over 40mins for our main course which was our first course. Dessert was very slow as well. We had a 17:45 booking on a pre-theatre menu for a 19:30 show, yet we had to rush out around 19:10 as we ran out of time, leaving our dessert part eaten. As we had arrived slightly early, we spent at least an hour and 25mins in the restaurant and that was insufficient for a two course pre theatre menu meal! The food was unfortunately nothing to write home about. Shame we could not finish our dessert which was better than our mains.

Fantastic dishes, had two different fish dishes for main course and they tasted lovely and cooked just right. Desserts were also very good. Nice, private feel to the place. Will return.

Not the best table provided. We were in the small room on the side. Should have been the main room. Poor ambiance

Steak wasn’t cooked correctly, server disappeared. Luckily, a new one was flagged down 20 minutes later. New server, Adrien (spelling?) he was nice and very service oriented

Unclear why this place is open — mouse ran through the bar, French fry was still ice cold in the center, and cocktails were abhorrent (two different basic martinis both awful)
