   Had a lovely dinner with friends. The music was quite loud which made it hard to hear each other but other than that, it was a great evening. Food was delicious.

   Good location for theatre district and nice variations on menu. Only strange things were the small plates everything seemed to be served on!

   The Riding House Fitzrovia is always delightful and welcoming with our favourite table. We had the granola with Greek yoghurt, açai with Greek yoghurt and mushrooms on toast, all delicious. But, the Bloody Mary was bloody amazing, maybe the best ever!

   Mine gripe the main course came out literally as they took the starter plates away. It all felt extremely rushed. Also I don’t like the fact they charged 13.5% service for mediocre service.
   

   Riding House FitzroviaResponded on April 28, 2025

   Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you felt your dining experience was rushed and that the service did not meet your expectations. We aim to pace our courses appropriately to ensure an enjoyable experience for all our guests, and I am sorry that on this occasion we did not achieve that for you. I will be sure to pass your comments on to the team so we can review our service standards and ensure we are allowing guests ample time between courses. Regarding the service charge, we apply a discretionary 13.5% service charge, which is fully distributed to our team. However, it is always optional, and we are happy to remove it should a guest feel it is not warranted. I am sorry if this was not made clear to you at the time. Best, Sarah

   13.5% for service charge! Slightly tainted the evening seeing this automatically added to the bill. Coats appears to be creeping up for a distinctly average service.

   Hi Jim, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the service charge left a less-than-positive impression on your evening. As is standard practice across many London restaurants, a discretionary service charge is added to the bill, but we always aim to ensure the service provided reflects its value. We genuinely regret if this wasn’t your experience on this occasion. Your comments are much appreciated and will be shared with the team, as we’re always looking to improve. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more enjoyable experience. Best, Sarah
