   If you like a nice buzzing atmosphere then this is the place for you. Great service, fabulous food. We stopped here for lunch and enjoyed it so much, we went back for dinner. Dinner with a couple of cocktails was 130.00 which was not bad at all. Highly recommended.

   Everything about the dining experience was spectacular! Marco, our server is easily the best staff member in hospitality in London. Not only did he handle the basics with finesse but went out of his way to make the experience special. Extremely warm and attentive to all- not just us. Many thanks!

   Enjoyed the food, very good atmosphere. The waiters were very kind but continuously asking for me to order while I was clearly waiting for a friend to arrive. Felt a bit rude. However, they were polite and the food was fast.

   We booked the prix fixe "experience" for a pre-theatre meal, it took 10 minutes before anyone came to take our order, then a further 10 minutes for them to work out they'd sold out of items on the prix fixe menu and check we were happy with substitutions. Then we waited another 25 minutes for main courses, and had to bolt down our food to get to the theatre for curtain-up time. To be fair they waived the cost of one of our 3 meals and all the service charge, and the wait staff were very apologetic, but even so, we're not going back

   Balthazar is a busy brasserie with a real buzz about it. We visited for lunch and there were very few empty tables. Noise levels are high, but that adds to the atmosphere. The food and service are good, but the wines are pricey.

    Tourist trap trying to be Brasserie Zedel or The Wolsey but failing miserably. Staff were moody, inattentive save for one good waiter, nobody bothered to bring menus or take a drinks order. When the food came, the Steak Tartar I would not have given to my dog and the Oysters should be thrown back in the sea - huge prices, awful experience and very very average food, but hey they are on the edge of Covent Garden so there will always be mugs passing through. Should have gone to The Wolsey

    The staff was outstandingly friendly, the food delicious though a bit overpriced for what it was. The decor is fab, but the people that come tend to be a bit obnoxious sometimes. Overall a great experience.

    we had the set menu for lunch and everything apart from one desert was stunning, the only thing that brought the meal down as a strawberry desert which was full of mint choc chip ice cream, which was very unexpected!

    Layla was the best waitress we’ve ever had! So attentive and still holding down the fort. The food was good but took a little long than expected, but i was in good company so it seemed okay. The waitress’s and runners were fantastic, didn’t appreciate some attitude of the lad in the suits but I guess I’m just very attentive to how others treat others. Ambience was magnificent, forgot I was in the heart of london

    Pre theatre dinner. The restaurant was packed but the service was very good and fast. We opted for the pre theatre menu - great value. Glad to see that they offered a carafe of Sancerre as we don’t like drinking too much before the theatre. The food was very good indeed. The only negative comment I have is the noise: extremely noisy made worse by loud music who one cannot really hear as people talk even louder in order to communicate. It made the whole experience very unpleasant. Not a place where one can carry on an intelligent conversation.

    All round good experience for a group of five of us. Pleasant greeting on arrival, shown to a nice table with plenty of space around it. Service was cheerful, prompt and efficient. Nice buzz to the restaurant - didn't find too noisy, but might be a tad loud for an intimate romantic meal for some. Food I found to be perfectly good and my mates seemed very satisfied - its not gourmet quality I wouldn't have said but good bistro quality. Setting bang in the middle of Covent Garden and theres plenty of bars in the the area to have a pre and post dinner drink. Nice one Balthazar, we had a good night. Thank you.

    Divine! Extremely friendly staff, shout out to our waitress Leyla, it was her first day on the job and she did amazingly well. The food was second to none and the ambiance was perfect. Make sure you get the apple tart for dessert, to die for. Will be back very soon.

    We loved our birthday meal at Balthazar. The food was delicious, the service was brilliant, and they bought out an extra dessert for my cousin, honestly, nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. It wasn’t my first time at the restaurant, and I look forward to coming back. Many thanks.
