    Great food! Really very good indeed, highly recommend. One very attentive waitress, another waiter put a charge for a bottle of still water on the bill but never brought it. Fortunately the waitress was on it and removed the charge. For us it barely, if at all took away from a great meal! Highly recommend
    The Restaurant at St Martins Lane LondonResponded today
    Dear Warren, Thank you for your kind words and for highly recommending us! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the food and found it to be excellent. We’re also glad that our attentive waitress was able to quickly address the billing error for the water, ensuring your experience remained enjoyable. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll share it with the team to make sure every aspect of our service matches the quality of our dishes. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great meal! Warm regards, The Restaurant team

    Christmas Eve special dinner at this place and it was very average but very overpriced. Nothing special about the meal or service. But the restaurant is more suited for a burger and fries type of casual meal. The service was ok but staff not trained for this level of fine dining. Overall, it was a very bad value as it was so overpriced for what we got on this "special menu" experience. Definitely will not go back for anything other than a quick casual lunch if back in that neighborhood.
    The Restaurant at St Martins Lane LondonResponded today
    Dear Ted, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your Christmas Eve dinner did not meet your expectations. It’s disappointing to learn that the meal and service fell short, especially on such a special occasion. We strive to provide an exceptional dining experience for all our guests, and it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. We hope you might give us another chance to offer you the quality and service you deserve, perhaps in a more casual setting where we can better meet your expectations. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the best in your future dining experiences. Warm regards, The Restaurant team

    Arrived at 5.45pm for a pre-theatre dinner. We had asked to be in a warm spot, which had been noted and was achieved. We went for the 2 course pre-theatre menu to ensure there was no rush. The food was delicious, nice choice of wines, servers were charming and efficient, and ambience very pleasant. (Minor gripe that the music was a little too loud for our taste.) We would have had time for dessert, but were trying to be good!
    The Restaurant at St Martins Lane LondonResponded on December 13, 2024
    Dear Anna, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your pre-theatre dinner with us, from the delicious food and wine selection to our charming service team and cozy ambience. It’s wonderful to know that your request for a warm spot was accommodated to your satisfaction. We appreciate your feedback about the music volume, and we’ll keep this in mind as we strive to create the perfect atmosphere for all our guests. We’re so pleased you had a great evening and hope to welcome you back soon—perhaps next time you can indulge in dessert guilt-free! Warm regards, The Restaurant team
