Seated upstairs table 65 Food Ordered: Sirloin Steak Ciabatta - Medium Rare (£10.75) Sides: Mac and Cheese (£3.50) Atmosphere - Ambient due to sports and tourism culture. Cosy and warm for the indulgence of food. Decor and paintings of Victoria & Albert give the aesthetics of 18th century England with modernised features. Service - Service time for the mac & cheese was 20-25 minutes. Service time for the Sirloin Steak Ciabatta was 10-15 minutes. Staff on the upper floor of the establishment were keen and attentive but lacked smiling and giving customers a cosy approach. However, one staff member was very empathetic towards customers and very attentive when making sure things were in order. However, another staff member did not emphasize the correct order for the Sirloin Steak Ciabatta to be medium rare. Food - Sirloin Steak Ciabatta - Was well done instead of medium rare, but overall, it did not make the dish appetising due to not being medium rare. Mac & Cheese - Rocket salad was beautiful with a bit of black pepper. Mac & Cheese was a bit sludgy but overall tasted satisfactory compared to other Mac and cheeses in the area. This mac and cheese was edible and worth the £. I would definitely recommend The Albert for consumption and aesthetics such as Live sports, Food & Drinks.

A beautiful pub where we visited with high school students on tour from NYC. They served us a pre-arranged meal of Ale pie with peas and chips. Unfortunately we were unable to appreciate the dish, would have preferred fish n chips or a burger. They only provide student groups a glass of tap water with the meal. Sodas are extra. It seemed everyone was happy enjoying their meals but we left hungry.

Excellent place!!! Real Pub. I was watching football game. Great atmosphare. You have sound on Ground Floor, but not on the 1st Floor if you are not a Football Fan. I had some beers and great and big and delicious portion of fish and chips. The building where this Pub is, is amazing! Prices are normal compared to other Pubs. Fully recommending!

Busy local office pub with random lost tourists. It's beautiful looking and very historic now part of Greeneking. Good pub grub and fast service. Dhuti was our server, and she was lovely. The upstairs doubles as a restaurant and sports pub with big tellies to watch the game.

This place is a gem. I found it by seeing the number of people on the street enjoying a pint. Went back two more times on my visit. The food, the staff, everything, 100% top notch. When I'm back next April, I'll be here. 100% recommend.

We had dinner here before seeing a show at London County Hall, and it was amazing! The menu is varied from classics to fun options, the staff was very friendly, and we learned about some of the building’s history - a free bonus in addition to a delicious and reasonably priced dinner.

Visited the Two Chairman for work Christmas dinner, and we were very pleased we chose this venue. The food was amazing and the staff were excellent. A very friendly establishment, nicely decorated for Christmas, which added to such a warm atmosphere.

“A wonderful experience at this restaurant! We had a lovely family gathering in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with excellent service. The dishes were absolutely delicious, offering a variety that suits all tastes. We enjoyed the desserts were the perfect. The place is clean and comfortable, with beautiful lighting that adds a touch of romance. We will definitely be coming back again!”

The atmosphere and the owner was lovely and so kind. The food came so fast and it was delicious. However, even though we came halfway and there wasn’t many people one of the staff kept hurrying us up. The management was super helpful though and would highly recommend, especially considering the location it is very nice.

The pizza was average. The staff were quite nice! The wine was nice, it is not that expensive. 😊 Very close to the palaces. There was no tap water unfortunately and the inside was a bit loud 🥲 but other than that everything was great! 🙏🏼 the large pizza is extremely tasty and good if you’re hungry! 🫠

We had the seafood tasting menu at Quilon, and it was absolutely wonderful! The flavors were exquisite, and each dish was beautifully presented. The service was attentive and elevated the overall experience. The only slight letdown was the dessert, which didn’t quite match the exceptional standard of the rest of the menu. Nevertheless, a memorable dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommended for seafood lovers!

What an amazing experience! The food is absolutely delicious, the Biryani is out of this world ! I never tasted a Biryani as good as the one I had in Quilon, the only thing was, I found the lamb a bit dry by the rice just simply amazing! The rest of the food was superb, I had the Crab cake as a starter and it was really delicious, I tried the Black Cod and Scallops from my colleagues and there were cook to perfection and very fresh Staff are very attentive and professional it was a great experience and I would definitely be coming back!

Really disappointing experience. Very limited vegetarian selection, and what they did have was disappointing. We loved the asparagus, beans and edamame, but it's not a main (it's a cold salad with those three things - even though it's listed under main). Mango curry was nice but bland. Malabar paratha was excellent. "Mini dosa" was also tasty but quite mini, and we had to ask for chutney. High tab despite the underwhelming food. Service was nice but the place felt pretentious. Much better quality, atmosphere and price for Indian in other places.

We first read about Quilon a couple of years ago as they offered a tasting menu accompanied with beer instead of wine which sounded interesting. We finally got round to visiting and were not disappointed. After an excellent cocktail each in the bar (the Qojito is amazing) we took our seats in the restaurant and chose the seafood tasting menu to eat. The beer option didn't seem to be there so we went for a bottle of white wine to go with the seafood. From the fantastic poppadoms and chutneys to the delicious desserts the food was all tremendous. Particular standouts were the scallop and the black cod, however all the food was top notch. The portions didn't look small but they were very filling and we certainly didn't come out feeling hungry. Great food, excellent service and reasonable value - it's fair to say our experience at Quilon was worth the wait.

The food was really good, but the presentation was even better. The mini masala dosas were delightful and packed with flavours; however, the real MVPs were the chutneys that came with it. I really enjoyed their cocktail “Botanical Garden”. I found it complimented the every course rather beautifully. The asparagus, beans and edamame was good, but forgetful. It provided a balanced flavour among all the other items ordered, but I’d recommend you skip this item. What you must absolutely get is the Southern s-a-a-t— these crispy idlis had the perfect crunch, topped with tangy and spicy chutneys with ginger balancing the spice in every bite. Amazing. The staff was lovely, and the service was excellent. The most memorable bit was receiving a printed photo from the staff! I do think it’s still missing the ambience you’d expect, especially with the harsh overhead lights. Introducing softer yellow lights would make it much more comfortable.

Enjoyed the fish and chips here. One of the better ones I’ve had in the area. Definitely order the curry sauce. Wicked with fries! My wife enjoyed the BLT. We saw others who had ordered wings, which also looked good. The waiter we had asked about the wings said he wouldn’t recommend them. I read complaints about the wait. We didn’t experience that as we had gone before the rush.

Tired after your visit to amazing Westminster Abbey ? Go and recharge your battery in this Starbucks ! A small one where seated tables might come as a miracle ! Chairs are uncomfortable, probably to make sure guests are not staying in for too long !

was just here with my friend, huge shoutout and thanks to Artur, made our drink so fast they were ready by the time I’d finished paying! Superb service and drink :))

Last year, my family and I went to the Starbucks just assuming that we would get a couple of drinks, we didn’t assume that we would meet a good friend, Arthur! We live in the United States, to be more specific, though Washington DC, when we traveled back to London this summer for a vacation, we made it a priority to go back and visit our amazing barista friend! I forgot the other gentleman‘s name while we were there, but he was amazing as well! Great drinks, even greater service!

Beautiful vegetarian option and lovely sticky pudding. Nice atmosphere in the bar. Full 3 course dinner with guests and lots of wine so spent more but was worth it

Had dinner with 2 friends and it was a very pleasurable experience. The Caxton Grill is part of the St Ermin's Hotel and you will not be disappointed if you visit. We had the Gazpacho Soup, Venison Tartare, Gin Cured Salmon, Catch of the Day, Sirloin Steak, Cauliflower Steak, Brocoli, Chips, and French Beans, followed by the Vanilla White Chocolate Mousse (with as glass of Tokaji). All the courses were delicious. We were all very satisfied......the only thing I would have liked would have been an extra slice or two of the salmon with the starter, but it was very tasty and the trout and horseradish mouse was excellent. My steak was perfect. Big thick cut, juicy, well cooked.....one of the best steaks I have eaten (and i have had many recently!) The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. The restaurant works well for families, couples, or business dinners.

Caxton Grill in London exceeded all expectations—an unforgettable dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing and beautifully presented. What truly set the evening apart, though, was the impeccable service—the best we have ever had. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier cuisine with exceptional hospitality

Visited with 8 colleagues on a Wednesday night and was pretty disappointed with CG. Expected better based on the reviews. Had the Christmas menu and the Turkey roast was poor. It wasn’t presented well and the cuts were very gristly. The veg on the side weren’t cooked through in some instances. It’s just annoying when you pay so much for what looked like a half-job. Won’t be back here for entertaining my team.

Sunday night dinner at 7:45pm. Relaxed, friendly service. Toasted mackerel, burger, BBQ short ribs and French bean all perfectly done and quite tasty. To an American palette, the beans slightly undersalted, but easily remedied. Delicious and flavorful otherwise. I enjoyed the glug-glug of the fish-shaped water pitchers, an odd and fun touch. An elegant and enjoyable dining experience.

The food was great, though the service left something to be desired, having to ask multiple times for water and long wait times for our food. The staff were very friendly however. For the price I would choose other restaurants in London
bee honey - 6 years ago

Way too pricy. Tiny dishes that you will not expect for the price you pay. Service is 12.5 and they don't even tell you about it.
Eddy Silas - 5 years ago

The bento boxes were really good, we tried the Mediterranean and the Korean ones. The Korean bento had a very nice matcha cheesecake and the salmon in the Mediterranean box was really delicious. But the service is simply awful, the waiter was annoying and unfriendly so I won’t come back for sure.
Kate Dianova - 5 years ago

The hotel in which the restaurant was within looked very nice, the same could be said for the Bistro too. There is a decent selection of food, from Indian, Italian and English just to name a few, I ordered the set menu, its works out much better. I'd recommend the prawn tempura which reminds me of the dynamite shrimp is PF Changs in the States. The food is is good however, the our server wasn't so good, we were left waiting for things and had to remind her on many occasions. Apart from this a nice experience.
p4rma - 6 years ago

We were welcomed on arrival and well cared for. The food was excellent, we chose from the Chef's Special of the day with three courses for three of us, the fourth was strong willed!, coffee and wine between us it cost £50 per head. The tables have a very uncomfortable pedestal which is much wider at the bottom but it goes up in lots of 'steps', women do not usually sit with their legs apart, but that was the only way to cope, so I would much prefer a more sensible base to the table.

I don’t typically leave negative reviews unless I feel it’s helpful for constructive feedback. This was my first time dining here, and overall, the experience was okay. The server was friendly and welcoming. We did have to wait a bit longer than expected for our food, but I understand it can get busy. We ordered bread with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar; however, the bread was cold and stale, making it quite difficult to chew. Perhaps that’s the intended preparation, but it didn’t meet our expectations. On a positive note, the carbonara pasta was delicious, and the server added fresh cheese on top, which was a nice touch. I reminded our server that we had also ordered tiramisu, but unfortunately, it never arrived. After waiting 20–30 minutes for the check, we eventually went to the front to settle the bill. I mentioned the missing dessert to the gentleman at the desk, who was very apologetic and sincere. He did not charge us the dessert from our bill, which I appreciated. While the visit had some highs and lows, I understand that restaurants can face busy periods. I hope to see improvements in service consistency should I decide to return.

Such a great find! I had the pasta all’arrabbiata and it was perfect. I ate every bite! The spice level was spot-on. My mom had the Caesar salad, and the chicken was incredibly tender and juicy. A perfect way to end the day!

Happened into this restaurant to grab dinner after a tour of Buckingham Palace and wanted to avoid the rain. Immediately seated, even with the place full to bursting. Service was excellent and food was quick and delicious. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

This branch is relatively small although it has seating areas, up and downstairs. It was fairly busy with mainly with tourists on my visit. The service here was slow with only three staff members on service at the time. The refreshments, wrap, baguette, rolls and the fillings was good quality, freshly made and flavoursome. Disappointingly the restroom was not to the standard of cleanliness that is required.

Parth was so kind as he offered me a raspberry lemonade on the house sinc they didn’t have any frappes available at the moment. Wonderful service!

I popped into this Pret as I like them it’s familiar territory for me, and I had an appointment nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food tasted good albeit the bread was a bit more chewy than I expected. The store was quite busy lots of takeaway customers. Some people seated on Ground level, I decided to eat downstairs. I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent amount of sockets down there as my phone was nearly dead! However luckily I decided not to go to the toilet until when I finished eating! I was so shocked as it was not even 11am and they smelled bad and were trashed. These toilets were unisex toilets there were two of them and both of them were bad. I didn’t bring my phone to the toilet with me so no pictures…no way was I going to risk going back in. Due to this, unfortunately I’ve had to rate this low which I hate to do! I hope to revisit in the summer to see if things have improved by then. All places that serve food need to have regular toilet checks to ensure this does not happen. If I had gone toilet before eating I would have headed upstairs for a refund as it was stomach churning. I eat Pret in various locations and have never seen anything like this!

I had the dark choc & almond butter cookie. It didn’t have the best flavour but It satisfied my sweet craving after a bad meal. The service was great.

Great location and ample space inside. We are visiting it on regular basis. The staff and service is constantly on a good level. They are open on Sunday which is quite unusual for Pret’s, and which is quite handy for us. Great food and quality. Definitely give it a go!
