   Was left extremely disappointed by the managers rudeness and inability to rectify her error. We booked a table after seeing a nice looking set menu online with an offer of 2 courses for £18 or three courses for £20. The food offered on this set menu looked very nice and healthy. When we arrived at the restaurant and asked for the advertised menu that we had seen online and which was displayed on a wooden poster in front of the restaurant, the waiter told us they had a different set menu which was a drink and a burger. This is not at all what we wanted to eat and when we challenged the manager about her false advertisement she said she had made a "mistake". So we asked her to honour the advertisement and let us have a two course meal from the menu for £18 which seemed reasonable to us since it was the basis on which we chose to eat at this restaurant. The manager refused and kept trying to tell us that we should eat the meat terrine. (we are vegetarian). The least she could have done is thanked us for pointing out their mistake of falsely advertising a better menu and better deal online. We were so outraged by the way she treated us that we left and went to a lovely greek restaurant next door. Truly disappointed by how this woman dealt with the situation. Will not be recommending the restaurant.

   Frontline is a casual restaurant, very busy at linchtime. The food is innovative and tastes great. The menu is rather short and portions are comparatively small. Prices are high for that neighborhood and the service works hard but has difficulties to cope with the high demand at lunchtime. In summary a good place for an easy meal.

   Always interesting menu, excellent food, unbeatable proximity to Paddington station (a 3-minute walk).

   I booked a table for a birthday dinner via the website. I was forwarded to Open Table. My booking was confirmed by email and I was reminded by email the day before. When I arrived at the restaurant I was informed that there was no booking and that Open Table was unreliable. I should have phoned I was told. I was shown to a tiny Table for two in the middle of the room with nasty hard chairs. All the comfortable tables were booked specifically. I left: neither Open Table nor Frontline comes out well from all this.

   Popped in for lunch and had an amazing chicken and mushroom soup, followed by a decent main course. Seat cushions were a bit grubby though. Service was very good.

   Four of us met up for dinner at this journalists' club's restaurant and enjoyed our meal very much. The wine list was a tad pricey but the food was excellent (pan roasted sea bream was a highlight as was a generous cheese platter). We recommend the restaurant as a fairly quiet one in which you can actually hear the conversation and not have to shout as at some London restaurants these days.

   First time at the Frontline Club, smart restaurant hidden away behind Praed Street. Walked past a few times, always busy. Very nice food although our portions were small. Great value for money and friendly attentive staff. We'll definitely go again!

   Very pleasing ambience, elegant and relaxed in one, reliable rather classic food, service natural and perfectly good, plus you can have a conversation.

    Just feels like a good place to be. Connected to the world and a little added energy around the big issues always helps provoke a good conversation. Combine this with pleasant, casual, but intelligent service and a very tasty menu and you can't go far wrong!
