   Poor service, took more than an hour to get burgers bought to the table, they blamed the chef (and that there was only 1 on a Friday). The food was cold and dry. They forgot salmon on a meal - which they bought as we were paying the bill, that too, on the side :/ Forgot to put cheese in a sandwich. Not enough sauces etc. available amongst other things.

   We arrived on time at 6:30 and we ordered. At 7:20 we asked about our food but were told the order had been lost. We were due at another event at 8:00 so could not wait. We were very disappointed and so went to the drinks reception without having eaten.

   Delicious food Mix up over booking, told would have to sit in noisy pub area as restaurant fully booked, had booked restaurant for 6pm. Eventually allowed to sit in restaurant. Service was friendly although the young man seemed to be training. Very cold air conditioning immediately above table and food chilled very quickly as did I. Overall pleasant experience as I am pretty easy going. Would go back.

    On arrival at 17.30 we were shown to our table and told they needed the table back by 19.30. Told them not a problem as we had a coach to catch at 19.00. We were given a carafe of water, then left. At 17.40 I got up and fetched some menus so we could choose our food. At 17.50 I went to the bar to ask if anyone was going to take our order as we had the coach to catch at needed to be gone by 18.45. After several attempts to get the waiter to us when he did finally come at 18.05 we asked how long the food would take to arrive, as again, we needed to be out by 18.45. He went to check with the chef, then came back and said they would prioritise our request. So we ordered. The food eventually came at 18.30, so we had 15 minutes to eat and depart. The food was actually nice but the place was seriously understaffed. One waiter/barman, another guy who looked like it was his first day on the job. They had to keep going downstairs to fetch drinks!! There was also what I presume was the manager, who initially showed us to our table then promptly vanished, never to be seen again. It's a shame our experience was so poor but we did notice other patrons weren't particularly happy either and I don't think they were in a rush like we were. We refused to pay the automatically added service charge as the service was so poor.

    Food and service excellent (apart from the lady who addressed me as 'darling' which I took exception to.) Disappointed that was not informed in advance that lunches were being served in the bar rather than in the upstairs dining room. Disappointed that the bar had no draught bitter.

    The perfect pit stop after a few pints. Handily located across from the Royal Courts, we often pop in for the good selection of ales and bar snacks. Heading upstairs the comfortable restaurant offers some classic pub dishes and other quality fayre.

    I arrived and waited over 5 minutes and then had to go to the bar and ask if anyone would provide me a table I reserved. I sat down ordered my drink and looked over the menu. The only reason I selected this venue was for the Sunday Roast. When the service person finally came to take my order I was informed they were out of the Sunday Beef Roast. I was stuck getting the chicken roast. The chicken roast was floating in "brown gravy"! The yorkshire pudding, was horrible, it was flat, dry, and tasteless. My best suggestion, avoid at all cost, the yorkshire pudding was so disappointing I think they could be charged with a crime.

    Booked the George restaurant, which was closed on Sunday so we had a table at the pub downstairs. Starters were good but mains were average pub food (and I love good pub food).

    Had a lovely meal in The George oner the weekend. Not everything was available unfortunately (no Beef pie!) but we had 2 delicious main courses and both had the Strawberry Cobbler for dessert - I would recommend this, it was complemented with a big dollop of clotted cream! Indulgent. The atmosphere was lovely and lots of people enjoying a night in London. It was my second visit to The George (last time was about 5 years ago) and I'll definitely be back again.

    Lovely and traditional without being stuffy or too modern. Service was delightful. The rib eye steak for two could have been served intact, it didn’t need cutting up before hand and the belly pork starter was a little overdone on one side, and not enough on the other. When pouring the house red, if it’s a cork bottle, even though it’s the house, I’d still like to taste it before you fill my glass. Steak was actually great and service really responsive. Overall very pleased and would definitely go again.

    Charming, cozy and delicious! This is our second annual visit and the restaurant did not disappoint our fond memories. Quiet! We could hear each other. Refined small menu with choices for vegan to carnivore — all well-prepared and tasty. This is not a restaurant for a rousing good time; this is for an intimate, warm evening with good friends and family. On the other hand you could propose marriage or life-time commitment here and it would be memorable.

    Hake main course very good, however, the venision shepherd's pie dish was minuscule and left my son still hungry. Two of the desserts were good but the pannacotta was very bland, the honey comb did not combine well with it. Overall quite disappointing and pricy for what it was.

    The food was incredibly salty. Every single dish. Potatoes that cane with my chicken dish were inedible due to salt level. My husband’s venison was very undercooked and chewy. Not pink. Undercooked. When complained to the waiter, all we got back is ‘sorry’. No suggestion to change or take it off the bill. Would not return.
