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.

    Overpriced, average food, served by unfriendly staff. Even the meet and greet team on the front of house couldn’t raise a smile and on leaving, didn’t bother looking up from their phones to thank us for coming. Would not return and would not recommend to anyone.

    We booked for Sunday brunch. Our waiter kept disappearing and only after 40 minutes did he come take our order. Food came out at different times, 15 mins. to an hour later. The Christmas cocktails were all ice, one teaspoon of actual drink. There was nothing to drink. What a waste of money. Food was okay. Eggs holladaise were nice. Salmon eggs were too watery. French toast was fantastic but that took one hour to come out. For over £250 spent plus service charge don’t waste your money here.

    Stunning venue with excellent food. The chocolate brioche French toast is worthy of the best French toast in London title. Staff were immaculately presented and friendly. However the experience was slightly marred by the fact it was my birthday brunch and it was stated in my booking while I watched about 3 tables during our sitting get sparklers birthday plates and I got nothing. One of the sides of fries we ordered was missing from our order too. It’s a beautiful venue, I was just a bit disappointed my birthday wasn’t acknowledged but a few other diners was in my presence.

    It’s a beautiful place, especially with Christmas decorations but it was very quiet given for a Friday night. It was lacking atmosphere not to mention it was cold and a little uncomfortable. The food was nice but nothing super special for the prices, especially the drinks. Expected more from such upmarket place but I guess this is the new London.

    As soon as you walk in it feels special, they was putting up Christmas trimmings, and it was looking amazing. Went to our table 6 of us, we had the £35 theatre menu, starters was lovely mains was a little disappointing, pulled pork tacos was very small portion although very tasty. Sea bass was the star of the show the linguine was a very poor let down, swimming in oil, and when finished still was an inch of oil in the bowl. The chocolate fudge cake was absolutely amazing! 1 waiter went out his way to be polite and funny the other waiter housing be a waiter, he wasn't rude but looked like he didn't want to be there. Big let down was the toilets, they defo need an upgrade, and needed to be inspected as they was untidy and not the cleanest water was absolutely freezing. Overall was lovely to be in such a special building but things need to improve to want to make us return.

    A very positive experience except some of the seating in the bar area is very dark so it’s difficult to read the menus and see your food.
