    Food was marginal at best for price. Server didn’t crack a smile once. Was disappointed over all.

    Had a very enjoyable meal at The Soak prior to going to the Theatre. There were 4 of us, all the dishes we ordered were delicious. We had Burgers, Sea Bass and Dim Sum. The staff were attentive, approachable and efficient. It is a very comfortable restaurant with a good atmosphere, conveniently situated right outside Victoria Station. Have been to The Soak a couple of times before and will definitely return. Highly recommend

    Slightly above average, for food. Slightly below average for attendance. Upon arrival - even though I had booked for 7 people - they couldn't find my booking. Our waitress was clearly inexperienced and although trying her best couldn't understand me. Although she did manage to get our orders correct. Price was average for London, expect 12.5% service to be automatically added to your bill, although I didn't have to query any part of the bill - they got that correct. Would I go there again? NAH.

    The Soak is a brilliant spot, next to Victoria Station and with a modern, vibrant and lively dinning room. Great gasto pub food with an extensive bar menu, featuring a thoughtful wine list and a range of classic and fun cocktails. Good service throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend.

    This restaurant in the Clermont Hotel exceeded expectations. Great value and buzzy vibe. We had the 20oz Tomahawk steak to share and a very nice bottle of wine. Friendly service too. Perfect for pre-theatre
