    As a longtime fan of the original Balthazar in NYC, this London outpost is a delightful experience. The food and service were both exceptional, capturing the charm and quality of the original. Highly recommended if you're in London.

    The food and waiters’ service was very good. But the hostess lady was shockingly rude and cold, she did not even bother to reply to my questions, just pointed at things. When I asked her to change our table because it was too small for the three of us, she did find us another table - but instead of inviting us there she did not say a word. She got to our table and started collecting our menus in silence, then pulled a menu from my friend’s hands. My friend was clueless, she could not understand what was going on. The hostess did not even bother to say a single word, no invitation to another table, explanation. Her attitude was beyond our comprehension. It was the most unpleasant and bizarre experience.

    Quelle surprise...a Parisian style brasserie in Central London offering a bargain prix fix lunch deal. Good choice of dishes, excellent welcome and unobtrusive service. A pleasure to dine there.

    Buzzy beautiful brasserie with great atmosphere and great good. Have been here many times now and I always have a wonderful time. I personally enjoy eating up in the bar area when it's just 2 of us. Had the halloumi salad last night which was amazing - totally recommend. Will be going back again : )

    The service could be better, we were quite a big table. Anyway the vibes were immaculate. The Mac and cheese slapped. The chinon and Chablis were really really good. They kinda messed up our steak order but okay. The portion size was good. The crème brûlée slapped! The chocolate sauce with the Paris beret was decadent!
