    Chicken dish arrived and didn’t have much taste. The roast potatoes were past their best and like they had been kept warm for hours. No veg came served with the dish too. Server was just ok and didn’t regularly check up on us and if we wanted extra drinks or anything else with our meal. Sides come out a good 5-10 minutes after our mains had arrived so our main dish was cold by then too. After this our server changed and service became better but a shame as it was almost too late then. We had cookie dough and Victoria sponge for dessert which was fabulous and the atmosphere at this restaurant is great too. I have visited many times before but this was my worst meal there yet and such a shame as it is a lovely restaurant that I always recommend to friends visiting London. I hope this experience is took on board by managers and that it was a one off bad experience.

    The food was relatively tasteless (a big mac is a much tastier burger),some being undercooked. The wine was mediocre. Overall, good atmosphere, but exceedingly overpriced.

    Love this place. But feels like things have slipped somewhat. Chicken was dry, roast potatoes were like bricks. Must try harder guys, you have been brilliant previously but feels like you're less attentive than before.

    We found the service inattentive and we're also very delayed in trying to ensure payment had been processed, we ended up dealing with 4 different people. Tea itself was fine, if a little pricey.

    We’ve been to this restaurant twice on visits to London. The food is reasonably priced and the staff friendly and helpful. It would have been nice to maybe have a side salad included with our burgers but overall a nice experience and I would certainly go again.

    While the food is relatively simple it was top quality. I had scallops and ribeye, both were among the best I’ve had. Wines by the glass were excellent quality. The service was discreet but attentive. The restaurant was loud and buzzy, we were expecting something quieter. The only minor point was I found the bench seat quite uncomfortable. Definitely a good place.

    Unfortunately our waiter appeared to think he was the most important person in the room. The order taking felt rushed and poorly explained. He was training another waiter who had far better manner with us than he did. Sole was over cooked.

    Consistently my favourite restaurant. Lovely starters, and shared an incredible porterhouse steak cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive and ensure you have a fantastic evening. Also; the best restaurant in London for lighting. Moody and candlelit, creates a wonderful environment for a romantic meal or an intimate dinner with friends.

    The environs are so nice and the service is usually so good that the food being just good can be coped with. I usually use DST for working lunches and it works very well. I wouldn’t bring foodies though.

    Dean Street Townhouse is undeniably now the best restaurant in Soho. It manages to be incredibly casual and relaxed yet sophisticated with simple dishes, beautifully prepared in impeccable quality with attentive, but unobtrusive service, and a lively atmosphere where everyone is clearly having a great time.

    I found the service to be incredibly lacking. When they offered brown bread as an option and then noted they didn’t have it they simply declared “I’m giving you sour dough.” When my friend ordered an iced American with very little milk it was 90% milk. Almost all of the service was conducted this way. It was not a pleasant experience, certainly not as I’ve received in the past from Dean Street Townhouse. Shame.
