   Great food for foodies. Limited menu for those that are used to telephone book menus. But, if you like everything, there is plenty to choose from. Attentive wait staff.

   The food was delicious and the portions were modest, so we left satisfied and comfortable. It is a lovely spot for a nice meal and good conversation.

   We have been long-time patrons and our meals always exceptional. This time, 2 meals were splendid: striploin and the monkfish; 2 others extremely disappointing: chicken(reconstituted) and the cavatelli, with was too overpowering sauce. I would always recommend 80 Thoreau but suggest chicken dishes be changed to regular roasted and careful with overly sauced dishes.

   My father and I adored our dinners and our evening at 80 Thoreau last night. We had gracious, professional service, especially from the bar where we had a drink order misunderstanding deftly handled. The room was quiet enough for two adults with less than stellar hearing to have good conversation, even with a "lively" party a few tables away. Just googled my delicious dish, a chicken Ballotine, am now watching a classic B&W video of Julia Child (at her best, btw, simple but masterful explication!) deboning and stuffing a turkey the same way. While I'm old enough to appreciate the reference, and enough of a cook to appreciate the labor of a dish like that, it was also crazy delicious: crisp chicken skin, perfectly salted stuffing, with sweet prunes and roasted wild mushrooms. Only quibble was that there were so few of the delicious Brussels sprouts...Turkish coffee and prune armagnac ice creams were wonderful and unusual, though the portion was smaller than I hoped! An altogether memorable evening, thank you.

    Excellent food. Portion sizes tiny. All three of us were still hungry after dinner. Service was excellent. Small menu, but good selections. Well over $200 for 3 people with one drink, dinner, desert. Seems quite expensive, especially given small portions. A very nice dining experience if you don't eat much.

    We were there for a couple days late Valentine’s dinner. The fox was fantastic… especially the duck. And mixed drinks were tasty! We had an excellent time. Only bummer was getting home and realizing that our food never came back to the table in a to go box. It was so delicious we were looking forward to finishing it. There seemed to be a waiter change right at the end and guessing they forgot and so did we. Oh well. Still recommended 80 Thoreau and will be back.

    The service was over the top excellent, but the food remained the star. Their duck mousse was rapture in your mouth: so rich! so light! So much flavor dancing on one’s tongue! My husband had cassoulet; I had the beef bourguignon. Both dishes were supremely flavorful and tender. We split our appetizer and split sticky toffee pudding and Armagnac ice cream for dessert. Splendid example of its type—better than any I’ve had in London.

    We have heard about 80 for ages, and were excited to give it a try after a lovely Valentine’s house tour at the Old Manse. The hostess was lovely and took our coats. We were early and sat at the bar. Bartenders very busy so hard to get drink. Sat at lovely corner table, pretty tables and lovely white tablecloth ambience. They definitely need to add candlelight. Floor had some sort of waxy finish to it that was slippery. I slipped just a tad, but a woman being seated close to us slid into the table. Our server’s personality was warm and welcoming, but her service was quite disappointing. We had to call her over to get our order in after sitting for quite awhile. She didn’t check on us during our meal, and didn’t bring the wine I ordered for my meal. It was a very busy evening due to Valentines likely. Food was great, but menu limited.

    We've been to 80 Thoreau multiple times over the last 10 years and have always loved it. Last night was a bit of a mess. It was very busy, likely due to Valentines day. Very loud and hard to talk. Our app of liver mousse was good but the bread was completely burnt and should not have been served. My specialty cocktail had a strange medicinal taste, but the waitress handled it well and subbed a different drink. My chicken with mushroom sauce had 1 mushroom that was smashed into something unrecognizable and no sauce whatsoever. It was strange. Hubby's beef was very good. A surprisingly mixed bag but we will return at some point and hope it was a one off bad night.

    The beet salad is highly recommended. We also had the boeuf bourguignon and the casserole, both outstanding. The key lime pie as dessert was literally the icing on the cake.

    Prompted by an email offering Classic Dishes and Wine, we ventured out and enjoyed a superb dinner at 80 Thoreau. Andrew chose a wonderful wine to accompany our Scallop Crudo and Cassoulet. Both dishes were delicious and we topped off our feast w an usual Sticky Toffee Pudding w Armagnac Ice cream!

    We have enjoyed 80 Thoreau many times and are very glad that it survived through the darkest of Covid time. Last night was a delight as always. THe food is always fresh, original and well presented. Portions are very reasonable. The cocktail list is lovely and there are some excellent wines, including half bottles. We were so impressed to hear about how many take-away meals 80 Thoreau provided when restaurants were closed.

    Every dish was perfect. The duck liver mousse and beet salad first courses and the main dishes of monkfish with capers, parsnips and the short ribs (beef bourguignon) which melted in your mouth. Dessert was very tasty chocolate creme and AMAZING lemon tart (and I'm not even a big fan of lemon tart). Excellent overall, usual great service, very friendly staff. We have not eaten out much since COVID and this dining experience gives a reason to keep coming!
