   The atmosphere is really nice and it’s in a great location but the food was very small for the price we paid and it left us hungry. If the portions matched the price I’d recommend.

   I have been a regular of Charlotte street hotel for nearly 20 years… I go back time and time again because I love it so much… but yesterday I noticed the price I paid for lunch 2 x salad and 2 x alcoholic drinks… over £100… that really is pushing it.. Please address your pricing… you can’t expect us to pay that for a quick lunch… thank you…

   Went for my Mother’s 60th. Great service - had a fantastic waitress. Was a little disappointed by the food as paying significant amount. But overall enjoyable evening.

   Food very good service just spot on small menu but good overall choice My fault I should have requested a table located away from general background noise as I’m hard of hearing Second time I’ve had the pleasure of eating in your restaurant and would not hesitate to eat with you again

   Ambience and service excellent, visited for afternoon tea which was okay, with room for improvement, sandwiches just starting to dry out on the outside, quiche was made with sweet pastry which was strange, perhaps one cheese scone and one sweet might have been an improvement

    Arrived early. It was Jubilee Day but nothing was too much trouble for the extremely pleasant and professional staff. We asked to go outside and were accommodated. The staff were attentive without being smothering, cheerful and efficient. Excellent tea, great value.

    5 of us for lunch on what was a special occasion as my family and bridesmaids joined me to celebrate. We all really felt there was little to be desired. Firstly the waiter forgot my maid of honours food order and then when we notified her we were left waiting 15 mins while the rest of the food got cold. We found the vegetarian and vegan options majorly unimaginative, tasteless and what we could taste was somewhat odd. £19.5 for some lettuce leaves on the cesar is absolute extortion. The chunky chips were par cooked. The restaurant itself needs a major update if it wants to contend with other amazing options available and we wished we went to Six by Nico or Carousel next door which both looked and smelt so amazing. Really this place need a major overhaul. Sad because it used to be great but likely only to attract grannies now with old hotel tastes. They need a major gear shift ASAP and what was meant to be a happy and amazing lunch turned sour by this restaurants lack of ability to function at a basic level on par with Londons standards.

    The restaurant was overcrowded - they had tried to put too many tables in and the seat was very uncomfortable because I had to sit on where two cushion met. Probably great for visitors or tourists because it is Covent Garden but not one I would recommend for Londoners. The menu was limited and they only gave us one and half hours, and when we asked for dessert they told us that we had run out of time and would have to come back another day. So we were not really impressed. They advertised Dover Sole on the website as one of their specialties but it was not on the menu. So all in all not a very good experience.

    Afternoon Tea is Expensive comparing to a dinner. Not worth it. Just something you do once on a fancy place and not more.

    Lovely restaurant. Great ambience but very over-priced for the experience. Absolutely love the Firmdale group of hotel restaurants and regularly take friends and clients to them. Today's experience was below par. The food was good. No complaints, but for a price of almost £400 for 4 people, the staff really should not be arguing about where the customer wants to sit, which they did initially. We weren't happy with the table originally allocated to us as it was in the thoroughfare. We were moved to another much better located table, but then after settling down, they tried to move us to yet another table, claiming that our new place had been reserved previously. We weren't happy to move. Eventually, we were 'allowed' to stay where we were but that did cast a shadow on what would have been a great experience.

    Lovely venue, good service and nice food but way too loud for having a meal. The bar area is close to the restaurant and lots of tables of larger parties having a drink, which meant me and my guest spent the whole evening having to shout when talking!

    We have been at Oscar for the first time yesterday for dinner. The place is nice and the people serving are kind, however, the first bottle of wine selected from the menu was not available, the food was ok-ish, not bad - not great. The price for 2 main courses with side dish and one bottle of wine (one of the less expensive ones) was over £110, largely overpaid for the overall quality.

    Too noisy to be able to conduct a pleasant conversation over dinner; the restaurant should be sound-protected from the noisy drinking area. The service was polite but slow, although the Maitre d' did apologise for keeping us waiting for the mains. They had run out of Punt e Mes which appears on the Aperitif Menu.

    Phenomenally expensive for very average, very bland food coming in small portions. I get the impression this is very much a first date sort of venue for an older generation in their mid-40s but I was blown away by the high prices and poor quality. This is as someone who wasn't even paying personally, I was on expenses.
