   Unbelievably, this was our first visit, despite living in St Albans for the last 16yrs. We'll certainly be going back. Staff all friendly, discreet and professional. Set menu (which we all took) is outstanding value for the quality - excellent ingredients beautifully prepared. Great selection of wines by the glass, mark-ups very fair. Lovely calm contemporary dining room, they've thought about the acoustics so even though the restaurant was full it was never too noisy. Highly recommended.

   Loved the relaxed, yet refined atmosphere. The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable. The food was divine, and we look forward to coming back! We're moving to St Albans in a couple of months and we can easily see Lussmann's becoming our place to celebrate special occasions. Thanks so much for a lovely dinner!

   Great food, attractively presented. The halibut with brown shrimps and spinach was the stand-out dish - lovely flavours and the fish cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive. A very enjoyable meal.

   We were welcomed in an extremely way. Shown to our table. We were dithering a bit on making our minds up for which wine to have. Once we had ordered the wine then we mad ip our minds as to what we wanted to eat. All the way along we were asked if everything was ok. It was attentive but not too much. We would have loved to have a dessert but we’re just too full up. We will certainly be coming back again.

   1st time to this establishment, It was my turn to choose for business guests and I definitely made the right choice. the team loved it, great food, service and pace to the meal. It was great because my work colleagues are from Germany and they eat all around Europe Lussmanns is a great example of excellent quality food cooked extremely well. My colleagues were impressed. Well Done to the team and I will 100% return

   The food was reasonably good, although this was my second visit where the dishes were inconsistent and were missing certain key ingredients. For a £15-20 main course I don’t think that is good enough. The main part of the restaurant is, due to lots of glass, very light but the upstairs is quite dingy in comparison. Not a problem in evenings or winter but lunchtimes will obviously vary. Service was very good.

    The ambience was lovely and the welcome from the front of house staff too. The service was fair. I mentioned it was a birthday upon booking and was asked twice on arrival but it was not mentioned during or after the meal. The food was average for the price, one of my guests had the fish and chips which were both extremely oily and they could not finish their meal. The escalope of chicken with linguine was very greasy, the escalope was too thick. The linguine served with the chicken contained too much raw garlic, leaving a bitter taste. The olives (particularly the good quality olive oil) and bread were delicious. Its a shame as it was a birthday meal and my friend was over visiting from Milan. At the moment I would hesitate to recommend this for the food.

    We felt a bit ripped off. We had two vouchers. 1. 3 Course set meal for two with a glass of wine each. 2. Bottle of house wine- bought as a Christmas present. We didn’t want to drink so asked if the glasses of wine could be swapped out for soft drinks. The soft drinks cost more than wine and the credit applied after the service charge is worked out. The same with the bottle of wine - this was a gift and we paid a service charge on it before a credit applied. So some very clever accounting but it’s not fair. So watch it when you get a voucher!

    Lovely atmosphere at this restaurant, attentive staff and well presented food. We chose Lussmans because of the quality of the locally sourced food and MSC fish. Everything was very well cooked, the different sauces were especially good, in fact excellent. Overall excellent value and service. Will dine there again!

    Tasty food with good service. Some new dishes since I last visited, more choice now. I had some lamb croquettes to start, they were very nice, followed by halibut which was a good meaty portion cooked perfectly.

    A lovely early evening meal in a lovely local restaurant with my daughters. However, it was disappointing to receive our bill before we had finished our meal and being made to rush. It wasn’t even the end of our two hour slot! It happened the last time we visited some months ago, too. My husband voiced his dissatisfaction at the time, with the waitress who appeared with our bill, once again, before the end of our two hours. Such a shame to ruin our meal by receiving the bill before we had asked for it and have waiters hovering around us until we had paid before our two hours were up. Surely there must be a need for a 10/15 minute break between dinners? There wasn’t even anyone waiting to be seated! Sadly this means I will be unlikely to book for some time. I want to go for a meal, relax with friends and/or family, eat good food with a friendly attentive service and not be made to rush before the end of my two hour slot, which quite frankly was not two hours. It is not the service I expect when I am paying a bill of over £100. I really hope more attention is paid to this and dinners are not made to feel no longer welcome after a certain time period. Such a shame, as everything else was lovely.

    Food was perfect but the charge for carafes of wine appeared very high at £27 and £29 per half litre. That is £13.50 and £14.50 for a large glass. Seems rather high.
