Always a great ambiance here and super staff. Monday 50% off wine offer and of course happy hour cocktails before 6 always a bonus
Really great service, food and location. We were super happy with our experience.
Met a friend for a pre-theatre meal. Food was ok, surroundings were a bit tired but location was very convenient. I don't think I will return
The food and welcome were both amazing, both had the chicken with fries and salad. Buzzy lively atmosphere
Had a lovely meal from the pre-theatre menu with a dear friend. Staff very welcoming and food serviced with plenty of time to get to the theatre. Thank you.
Classy and with a very good range of very good food (and wine, of course!). I find this a very pleasant early evening place to restore myself.
Warm welcome. Good choice. Fair value. Convenient location for NT and Waterloo.
Lovely music, affordable food. Steak frites was quite tough but still a nice experience.
This was my second visit and it was even better than last time, Staff were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our visit and will come again.
Lovely food and lovely service. Atmosphere was great and in a fab location. Made even better by the half price wine offer on a Sunday!!
Really nice atmosphere and great food/service - would highly recommend
I would definitely recommend the archduke because the experience was lovely. The food is really nice and good portion size. The waiters were friendly and helpful even when it was busy. I will definitely be coming again!
We enjoyed a lovely post matinee dinner, whilst there we heard the pianist and singer which was lovely. The food was delicious and the ambiance great. Will go back again!
Lovely atmosphere and a great place to dine before seeing a show at the Southbank Centre. Our lovely waitress made it a wonderful experience.
Delicious meal. Our reserved table was in a very good position by the window. Service was quick and friendly.
Pre rugby lunch for 6, good service, great steaks, decent wine list although wine is a little pricey. Busy but service was prompt, quite noisy, but then so were we!
Very good place for a pre-rugby meal. Ideal for Waterloo and the trains to Twickenham.
Really good venue and evening. Delicious food - good wine and gin selection! Whilst not a huge vegetarian selection what they had was well prepared and tasty.
Very nice place in a great location with great service. Food was lovely. A bit on the expensive side but worth a visit!
It’s a lovely place that suit any type of occasion. Love it especially because there is live jazz every night! Good food and friendly service!
We regularly meet here as it's so convenient but mainly because the food is consistently good - fantastic value too. Recommended.
A fun place with good food and some interesting cocktails
We visit the Archduke as often as we can when we are in London, so far we have never been disappointed and our last visit was no exception, it was excellent.
A lively place to eat offering good food and value for money. The only negative was the music which, although it was good, it echoed around the restaurant making it difficult to talk in a group without shouting at each other. The music adds to the ambiance but maybe not playing for such long periods would be better.
Lovely food and atmosphere! Couple of the drinks orders were wrong and had to be sent back and the medium steak was definitely more on the rare side! But a great meal with great music!
Great location on the Southbank that serves good food at very reasonable prices - especially good value for London - topped off with live music .
Excellent food and fabulous service. Good value for money. All meals lovely. Jazz too quiet
Great food. Thought the pre-theatre meals were good value.
Very delicious meal with excellent service and happy atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend for dinner pre or post concert in Royal Festival Hall
Food was good as always and with half price wine it was really good value!
We booked early so as to enjoy the Jazz. The food was excellent although I thought my steak was a bit on the small side. We loved the whole experience and will visit again when we are next in London.
The food was fabulous, ambience and
the jazz duo entertainment on a Sunday afternoon was also very enjoyable, plus the happy hour cocktails were good value!
I always enjoy the Archduke, however service was quite slow and 2 drinks were forgotten over the4 hour period we were there.
Lovely place to meet with friends and family. Good food at good prices and great ambience.
Warm welcome from staff. Reasonable menu choice and variety of cocktails. Singers had difficulties with acoustics of arches. Not so for band. Good harmonious sound from 4 piece band. French effect sound.
Good food, nice atmosphere, pleasant staff. Book in advance - it was very busy in the very early evening!
Lovely venue - great food, service, ambience. Set menu is good value. We had a lovely seat by the window.
Really good atencion
Nice food and good price
Great place
Excellent service and excellent food. Staff make you very welcome, and a most enjoyable place to celebrate. In my case my 79 birthday. Staff brought me a surprise ‘Browny’ complete with candle. I have had the pleasure to dine there before.
the restaurant was too noisy for comfort. There was even a table of guys singing pub songs .... had to shout to be heard by my friends.
Service was fine but a bit slow to start. Food nice but portions a bit small
We all had steaks which were excellent only downside was that they were a long time coming and we were a bit rushed as we were going to the theatre. Also could be a bit noisy as there were a couple of large parties.
