A la carte was quite expensive, but menu of the day contained good selection and is a bargain.

This is a fantastic restaurant in central London which I have used many times. Unlike many of the establishments nearby, it is possible to enjoy brilliant food and service and excellent conversation all at the same time. Deserves to be much busier - must be one of London's best kept secrets! Highly recommended. Prof Mike Ferguson

We went to The Don for our wedding anniversary. The food and wine were superb, the service was excellent - attentive but not over-bearing and the surroundings stylish and relaxing. I would definitely recommend.

Its my 4th visit to the Don in the past 12 months, I usually take clients here for lunch and its perfect. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff are amazing, attentive but not overbearing and so knowledgeable about the food, wine and even the science of the wine glasses! It feel very special yet understated. Food is excellent too!

Very good food. Waitress and sommelier were like something from a computer game. “Sorry I only take food orders once I have finished pouring the water” Okay 👀

The newly refurbished restaurant is a very pleasant environment, although it lacked atmosphere on the night because it was a little quiet. Each table is given plenty of room so there is no inhibition on talking. The food and service were excellent.

Excellent lunch venue for a business meeting I like the sound level - neither too quiet or noisy.
