    Our small group of friends used to come here all the time some years ago and it was outstanding, so it seemed the obvious place to recommence our post Covid get togethers. Unfortunately, it was sadly disappointing. The service was terribly slow, our waitress seemed rather confused by simple orders and the food was mediocre. I did speak to the very lovely woman in charge who explained that it was a bad night due to the supper club taking place downstairs and she very kindly took a lot of money off our bill. However, it strikes me that they would be better off ting bookings on Supper Club nights if they can't cope, rather than sink to this level. We were not the only table complaining about the wait. I very rarely write a bad review of a restaurant and I have in the past given rave reviews for Lussmans. I am writing this so that Andrei Lussman ( who always seems to have his finger on the pulse) can be aware and get back up to the high standard of the past.

    New menu and new company system software caused serious problems with service (desserts required a gentle reminder and the bill took rather a long time and at least three people to generate) but the ambiance was good and the food delicious as it always is.

    Had a fantastic meal at Lussmanns to celebrate my parents' wedding anniversary. The staff were very attentive, they even wished my parents' a congratulations upon arrival with a glass of fizz. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, as were the wines and cocktails. We would highly recommend Lussmanns to friends and look forward to our next trip here.

    Despite it being the busiest lunch service of the year we were not hurried at all. The quality of the food and the service were both excellent as usual. They had not overbooked their tables or increased their prices for Mothers Day. We had a lovely, relaxed lunch with family and would recommend it to anyone for a special occasion or just a meal out with your partner or friends.

    We had an excellent meal at Lussmans on Saturday night. The welcome and service was top notch and the food good quality and very quickly served (but not too quickly). The early bird menu is good value and we hope to return soon.

    The food was very tasty and there were some unusual options. The service was very friendly and although the first course was a bit slow, they apologised and the rest was prompt. We had a private space so it was quiet (we didn't request it but I believe you can) and we had a round table which is a must for larger groups.

    A Friday lunchtime with my sister for her birthday. We both had the fish and chips. The fish was good but the chips were dry and lacked flavour. The waiter was very good but the waitress forgot our condiments. We had to ask twice for them and it took 3 attempts to get a working salt cellar. I would go again but avoid the chips.

    The staff are very attentive and happy to accommodate. Sadly the food lacked, the steaks are very chewy and tough and some parts completely inedible. My wife could not eat hers and left it. I however was still hungry and ate it otherwise I would have insisted on a refund. Maybe the other dishes are better but we were I a rush and orders 3 steaks for simplicity and ease. 3 steaks and chips, 1 soup and 1 bowl of ice cream, veg and spinach 2 bottle of water for £150 and wasn't very good is not great. Sadly we won't be returning. We did tell the staff but like I say only half the steak was left which my wife had attempted to chew but couldn't consume and I'd eaten the rest. None of the 3 speaks were much better. The waiting staff did offer a cup of tea or coffee to compensate doesn't really make up for it.

    It was a lovely evening. The waitress was friendly. Food was nice - I had the pulled lamb shoulder for a starter and it was yummy. I then had the cod loin for main which was yummy but not enough! It was £22 for a fairly small piece of cod.

    Great service. Though we hadn't requested beforehand, we were found a table on the ground floor. Kipper pate was okay but a little basic. The fishcake was excellent. The sole was cooked perfectly - could have used a little more sauce and seasoning. The set menu is fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend and will return

    As regular customers of Lussmanns in St Albans since it first opened, we unfortunately had cause to complain about the level of service we enjoyed just after the country came out of the Covid lockdown. From our experience yesterday evening, we now believe that Lussmanns has, in all respects, returned to the high standards that we were accustomed to before the pandemic. From arriving to leaving, the service and attitude of your staff was highly appreciated. We were particularly impressed by our waitress, who had been seconded from your Hertford branch, so please give her the praise she deserves on our behalf. Malcolm and Heather Harpin

    There was a long delay after our starters had been served and eaten with no sign of our main courses. I had to go and ask and was told by the manager, I think, that our food would be with us in a couple of minutes. Another 10 minutes went by and I had to go and ask again. Eventually, the food came after nearly an hour's wait, but with no apology from the manager or any gesture to compensate for the delay. We had mentioned that one of our party needed to go at a certain time but this didn't seem to register. It would have been helpful to just let us know if there was a problem in the kitchen and then we would have understood. The food was great and the atmosphere good but we were very disappointed overall.

    Lovely ambience and the food was good (especially desert) but the service was VERY slow to bring our dishes out to us. It was acknowledged at least and apologised for but when the table is booked for 1:30pm and it takes two hours to have two courses from the set lunch menu something is going a bit awry.
