@15 Abchurch Lane Restaurant & Bar in City of London, Westminster

Never again 8 of us went for a meal I hah to ask for mine again as my friends had finished there meal

Went there for dinner as we love steak and they had no ribeye no fillet steak and only sirloin. A steak house with no steak. My partner had the sirloin and it was average. I had the Ribs and they were soft but the sauce was not great. A bit disappointing

Disappointed, missing things off the menu. Order never came all together and starters came with main. However the manager tried her best for us, apologising and accommodating where she could. Food on the whole good, wine lovely and music great👍🏻

Recibimos nuestro vino a tiempo y especialmente uno bueno, pero la comida llegó en 1 h. Solo había una mesa que tenían que servir y solo con bebidas tan claramente que no estaban ocupados. El camarero estaba fumando y tuve que preguntarle a la persona que "parecía" que trabajaba allí dónde estaba la comida. Cuando llegó, ni siquiera teníamos cubiertos y la sopa fue traída por el propio chef porque probablemente el camarero estaba demasiado ocupado fumando afuera. También un ambiente muy extraño ya que 1 minuto el camarero estaba sonriendo y al siguiente parecía espaciado. Tampoco había nadie en el bar. La comida era buena pero claramente intentaré evitar ese lugar en cuanto al precio de 150 para una pareja que podamos comer en algún lugar con un mejor servicio. ! !

Took advantage of a half price deal on food (but then blew the savings on whisky!). Oysters were very good. I thought my fillet was a little small for the regular price of £35 but since I only paid half, I can't complain. My colleagues had a rack of lamb and a sirloin, which they both enjoyed. The wine list isn't extensive but it is good enough and not over priced. The service was friendly and attentive. All in all I would recommend this place as a good venue for a quiet meal and I will be back in future no doubt.

Went for dinner with a friend, what a find. Will certainly re-visit for lunch. Great space between tables so good for a private conversation.

We went for the evening meal. There was very little steak available to order already at 7pm. The steak was requested rare but came medium/well done. The medium rare steak was similarly over cooked. We were not charged for either steak. At the start of the meal we had the draught Pilsner Urquell which had gone off. In both cases the staff were excellent. The deserts were good.

Después de haber tenido dos almuerzos en este restaurante en la ciudad, a un paseo de Monument y Cannon Street Tube. No puedo pensar mejor de este fuera de ritmo Restaurante dentro de un Club. Abierto a todos los huéspedes. . . . comida deliciosamente producida, personal creativo y una excelente carta de vinos. . . . bueno para un almuerzo tranquilo y mesas bien espaciadas. Gracias TS & O. . . . échale un vistazo, ¡no te pases!

Perhaps a hidden gem? Lively enough to be interesting; quiet enough to be able to talk and be heard; good food ; great staff

It was fairly empty only us and one more table in the whole restaurant. Being in the middle of the City of London I expected many more people in the restaurant. Because it was quiet the servers were all over us, a bit too much for my liking. I would have preferred a little more space. We had oysters for starters and I have to say the oysters were not that fresh. The waitress came to take our order saying we have one burger left, 3 rib eye steaks, no fillet. There were four of us, so maybe we should all share the last burger left! I didn't expect a restaurant in the middle of the city to run out of food! The desert menu was a little boring as well. I ended up ordering a cheese board as the sweets menu did not excite me and I have to say the cheese board was also a bit boring, no blue cheese, just 3 tiny pieces of various Cheddars. I had ordered some ice for the table and considering there were only two tables in the whole restaurant I had to remind the waiter that we were waiting for some ice. We were never once asked if everything was OK with our meal/order. I certainly won't be rushing back to this restaurant any time soon!

I had not heard of this restaurant before I saw it on Opentable and I am glad I found it, as the place is definitely one I would go back to. It is ideal for business meals because the food is good and served at a desirable pace, the service was just attentive enough and the ambiance is nice and it is not too loud in there.

Fantastic food and service, would definitely recommend.

We wanted to book for a Tuesday night. The latest table available was 6:30pm so we booked that, and bust a gut to get there so early after work. When we got there, the restaurant had only a couple of tables occupied so I don't know why a later table wasn't available. You get there and they take your coatbefore you go down to the restaurant. The ambience of the basement is nice - lots of light and mirrors so not dark and dingy as basements can be. Traditional British/French style. They seated the few tables they had apart so you had a lot of privacy which was nice though there were so few customers that I felt we had to try not to talk to loudly so as not to disturb other people as there was absolutely no background hubbub of conversation that you would normally have at a restaurant. There was some background music which was appropriate to the ambience. The service was very good. The menu and drinks menu was limited in quantity and variety - the wine list was the only drinks list and when I asked about soft drinks it was just standard fruit juices or mixers. They did happily provide tap water and sparkling though. For a steak restaurant, with a very limited menu, it was ridiculous that both the sirloin and rib eye were off the menu leaving only the cheapest or most expensive cuts of steak. Also the "mains" were not mains at all, you needed to add 2 sides to make a complete main course. One of us had the gnocchi main on its own and it was like a large starter - he was still starving after that. The food was very tasty however. As a bread fan, I thought the appetiser board of homemade breads was particularly good and came with 2 interesting tapenades. The garden salad however was just a few curly leaves and 3 or 4 thin slices of radish. So 4 of us had 2 courses with the necessary sides (and 1 had 3 courses) and with drinks and service it came to £30pp, that was with the 50% off food offer. So an OK price with the offer but definitely would not pay full price.

Great steak and a really nice setting! Another opentable gem! Many thanks

We ate here with a 50% off. Wouldn't have been able to justify paying full price but it is rather fancy. Very quiet - we had a table Monday Eve at 7ish and there were only a few other diners. Tried my first ever oyster here and enjoyed! Steak and fish were both also great as was the wine. Shared a dessert as we were too full but couldn't resist!

One of the best steak I ever had in my life. It&#039;s great value with the 50% off offers. <br />Everything was amazing apart from the dessert. As none of us consume alcohol, we found the vanilla ice-cream tasted extremely odd. I checked with waiter but was told that it&#039;s non-alcoholic. We sent it back and insist the chef to taste and eventually confirmed that it does taste alcohol and got them taken off the bill. <br /><br />Service was attentive, steak was amazing, just a slight disappointment that some choice of cut already out at our 1800 dinner booking. and of cos the unfortunate odd tasting ice-cream.

Good food and service. Based in the London Capital Club, it has the ambience of a classic old gentlemen&#039;s club. For some this would be a plus, but for us it lacked a bit in atmosphere. Very good value for money though, with the 50% off Opentable deal.

Food was ok needs improvement with better dishes and enhancement. <br />Private classic dining experience, the service was fantastic really good service skills of the both ladies.<br />The gin and tonic was the best.<br />They kindly surprised us with a birthday cake that was a very nice touch very much appreciated.<br />We would go back.

Getting to the restaurant is a bit confusing... you enter the Capital Club, ignore the reception area and take the left stairs down to the restaurant. However once you enter, the place is smartly decorated with a nice bar. The staff who looked after us were incredibly attentive, chatty and helpful. The flat iron steak rare was melt-in-the-mouth and I would equally recommend the courgette fries which were in breadcrumbs along with a pesto sauce... all absolutely delicious!

tavern steak and oyster has been my first choice for quiet dining with quality service. The greatest part is it does 50% off with opentable on Friday 🤗<br /><br />I came at the right season so their fin de Clair oysters were large, fresh and succulent. <br /><br />I also like their coupling of roasted bone marrow with any steak (it gives the steak some extra lush) <br /><br />I m disappointed with their olives starter to share, which were too salty, and their apple and quince crumble, which was totally underdone.

The Tavern Steak & Oyster bar is a first class convivial restaurant, open to all, with an innovative reasonably priced refreshed menu, modern food (Maldon Rock oysters, Guinness Cured Salmon) , classics (home made gnocchi, sea bream & guinea fowl ) ( starters £5-10) , mains £14-18) & decent & fine new & old world wines located in heart of the City of London in the lower ground floor of the London Capital Club an age old members club, comprising city doyens, luminaries and the thirsty. Its wood panelled walls, marble wash rooms and bar over 5 floors are a sight to see. Ask for a tour, the hosts are welcoming.

Good restaurant shame it’s completely empty

This was another working lunch so there was not a lot of time for this visit. When we went here there was a steak offer which we took advantage of. The service was prompt and professional throughout our visit. The drinks arrived quickly and we went for a bread starter while waiting for the steak and chips. The bread dish was a bit wanting and over priced for what it was. The steak and chips when they arrived were very good. The steak cuts were good and cooked exactly as asked for so all was well. This is a nice place to go to and will get back there sometime.

We used the 50% off offer, so it was good value, but overall I wasn&#039;t very impressed. Most of the steaks, one of the table plates and the daily special were not available, we were told they&#039;d had a busy lunch service (we were there at 6pm). Service was very friendly and quick, which is should have been as the restaurant was almost empty. The food was good for the price we paid but I would not have been happy paying full price when there are so many other better steakhouses around.

Stumbled across this place and unlike many other places in London it was lovely and quiet - had a great time chatting to my friends without having to shout at them, which is a rarity. This place has a nice classy atmosphere. Staff were great and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. We had steak and dessert - both of which were delicious.

Great food, service and value. Would certainly go back.

Great value @ 50% off. Pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves.

Below a Gentleman's club, in an historic building, this restaurant has class. Reasonable prices and great service. Excellent.

Great food, lovely and attentive staff! Great value for Money. I went with my sister for her last minute pre-birthday meal. The food was delicious and they were offering 50% off the food.

It was excellent, I will gladly return again and again

Good food but not a lot of atmosphere when we dined.

The current &quot;celebrity chef&quot; menu seems a little expensive, certainly compared to the previous menu , and especially if the celebrity is not there on the day you visit. Very competent food culled from a range of well known restaurants across London , which presumably enjoy the oversight of the same executive chef. Great attention from the staff who are trying really hard. Atmosphere somewhat lacking as the restaurant is not attracting enough of a lunchtime crowd. Perhaps it will become more popular. Will go back if only to try the dishes from the Ivy, which I haven`t eaten at the Ivy.

Absolutely lovely food in a great environment. The service was polite and friendly. Food was good value.

We went for a dinner after work and the food and service was very good. The restaurant has a relaxed but profeasional style and we had a very nice time.

Good spot for lunch or dinner. A little (too) quiet, at least for now.

With some of the offers this restaurant offers exceptional value with very good food and service

First visit to the tavern having eaten in the Capital Club a number of times. Pleasant surroundings ,although very quiet. The menu was a typical brasserie style one.Limited but enough to interest you. Waiter was helpful and recommended some decent red wine. We shared some West Mersea oysters which were excellent. Starters were good, we chose the French cuts of steaks which you don't see very often.The onglet was good , the bavette was reall tasty. Not hugely expensive for the City so worth another visit.

Tavern is nestled beneath a private club which makes it fun to discover. I&#039;ve never tasted such delicious leeks - or root vegetables - or a baked alaska. Really impressed with the food.

I found this restaurant by chance in search for a restaurant serving a combination of oysters and steaks. Okay, the menu doesn't provide a large list of meals to choose from, but all the meals were exceptionally good and delicious. Beautiful oysters from different areas and the steaks were 100% tasty. The service was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed it very much and we'll come back again.

Perfect place for a business lunch or meal with friends - so that you can catch up and enjoy lovely food with perfect service!

We had a 5 person dinner which we all enjoyed! You could tell that the food was made from qualitative products. Although its a steak place the burger was really nice too. Neither overcrowded or busy, good table service, not very warm hosts at the entrance.

Firstly the calamari was good. My wife&#039;s chicken and tarragon pie was nice. My steak however was awful. Sent it back once because it had only been cooked on one side! When it came back it was basically raw, hadn&#039;t been rested and smelt and tasted horrendous. Managed two mouthfuls but couldn&#039;t eat anymore. Considering this place has &#039;steak&#039; in the name, this was the worst steak I&#039;ve ever eaten out. Did take it off the bill though.

Still new restaurant . it is too early to judge. if you really do not like too much crowd and drunk shouting people i would say OK place . when you talk to people you do not have to shout other ,thats really nice. when i arrived receptionist lady greet me with big smile ;) I love the nostalgic american music most ;) Food is not too bad too..pricewise not overpriced but OK . i am sorry i can not say steak restaurant! just few cut exist ,,day to day food , dish f the day are cool ! and ceiling lamp in the middle of the restaurant is so cheap. it look like from argos clearance ! so doesn't fit with anything !

Still new restaurant . it is too early to judge. if you really do not like too much crowd and drunk shouting people i would say OK place. they need more time .. decor could me more restaurant .. lighting like from argos clearance ! <br />There were only three cuts of steak on the menu. when you say steak i was expecting more but not complaining !

Very tasty food, excellent service and ambiance and a bargain with the 50% offer.

Really quite serious food and an accessible wine list. Quiet on the evening we were there but expect its lunch trade would be brisk. Enjoyable.

The service from the manager on the night was incredible. Really made the evening stand out on a foundation of great food and fantastic beer selection. Flat iron steak was perfect. What an ambience too with a great music selection!

This, my second visit, was even better than the first! Exceptional value in elegant surroundings. Wonderful tasty menu.

The setting is lovely, very nicely done. We arrived early but it wasn&#039;t a problem and we were sat straight away. The service is fantastic and Vlad who looked after us was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was good and it was a very nice place to spend the night.

Excellent staff! Enjoyable lunch had by all.<br /><br />Thank you

Cosy basement setting with candles on all tables providing a romantic feel. Waiter was very good, answering questions about the menu and checking with the kitchen. If you want a good steak however, this isn't the place to go, unless they are going to extend the menu. There were only three cuts of steak on the menu, very disappointing. I had a starter of beetroot and goats curd which lacked goats curd and consisted of raw unseasoned beetroot. I was offered an alternative after giving feedback so again, the service was good. Main courses were ok but nothing outstanding. Would not return.

Really rather a posh experience with a coat check and hairspray in the loos! Great food, not huge portions so great for those watching their weight. Well presented dishes. Incredible value in glamourous old fashioned environs if you think you could pay similar money to sit in an echoey Pizza Express and be screamed at by kids. I&#039;ll return.

Excellent service, knowledgeable staff. Varied menu, seasonal ingriedients. An enjoyable evening.

Nice ambience and food was very good, especially if you take advantage of the opening offer. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant night; food, drinks and service were all top notch. The restaurant is lovely as well, white table cloths and candles. Great gin selection. 50% off offer is not to be missed!

Very good good and particularly excellent service. Waiters very attentive without being too intrusive.

Found this newly launched restaurant on opentable. Had never seen it there before and when we walked in, you could tell it was newly renovated, the paint was still fresh. The restaurant was far from crowded, but that just meant more time with staff who were very attentive. The food was delightful. The steaks cooked to order, the mash potatoes were the best my wife had ever had, the roasted garlic delightful, and for dessert, so glad I saved room, the baked Alaska. Magnificent. For a starter I also had a pleasant soup, artichoke with apple. Definitely one we will recommend to others and likely will be returning to soon.

In the heart of the city and I have just had lunch here on 2 consecutive days which should tell you everything. This is one of the friendliest restaurants in the city and has a new chef , new menu and new wine list. Always very quiet but there are not many members clubs where you can dine without being a member. Highly recommended.

I had a throughly enjoyable lunch here - the food (I had a sort of upmarket fish-finger sandwich) is to be highly recommended. Prices being at a decent level, especially given the location. Above and beyond that, Veronika and Vlad were extremely attentive and made the lunch even better.

Var på en affärslunch. Vi beställde hamburgare och valde lamm. Den var perfekt, och chipsen också. Set var dock lite tillbehör, men det spelade ingen roll, det var gott ändå. Prisklassen var dock ganska hög, affärsklass.

This is the downstairs part of the London Capital Club. The Club itself is members only but downstairs is open to the public. The bar is well-stocked and the bar staff are attentive and friendly. The food is great - they recently re-did the menu and it was a great move in my view. Worth a visit as Harry's and other options nearby are a bit tired now, aren't they?

This is the dinging room of the London Capital Club. Super location near Monument and Bank tubes. Never crowded. Solid food offering and service. Super for a business meeting when you want less noise and some privacy.

"Not as memorable an experience as expected - the room could be an airport restaurant, decor uncomforting, music dreadful. Service a weird combination fo attentive with crass errors - wrong order; was very nicely asked if there were any dietary limits and when we told them no seafood, they kindly brought us an amuse bouche of squid!"

"The food is characterised by its generosity: a portion of whitebait was remarkably substantial for a starter, and the mayonnaise which accompanied it was moreish and satisfying. A main course of cod featured an extremely large piece of fish, and was sensitively cooked. Yorkshire curd tart for dessert was well executed. Good service in a very pleasant room."

"Have been meaning to visit this for a long time, as it seemed to get good reviews and I like subtle, modern Indian food. Finally did on Saturday and it was a big disappointment. Maybe I left it too long and it's now coasting on its reputation. The ambience was lively, as expected on a Saturday night but, by the end, I didn't see what had attracted such a large crowd. I was seated in the back 'annexe', which seemed to be a glorified marquee and managed to be both drafty and too hot - the latter because of the ceiling heater pointing straight down on me. Service was outwardly ingratiating but suggested little warmth or care for me as the customer. The food was the main let-down, though. Generally can only be described as lacking zing! Little subtlety in the flavours or 'edge' to the cooking to justify the really quite high prices good value. The poppadums were no different from those I've had in many cheaper restaurants and weren't warm. The 'amuse bouche' of soup was bland. The spicing of the sauce on the starter (lamb koftas) tasted hot (too hot for me, but that is admittedly down to personal taste) but lacked subtlety. They were surrounded by flabby but dominant slices of onion. The main - large prawns - was very over-cooked. I could hardly distinguish the prawns' cotton wool texture from that of the new potato (of which there was a single small specimen, not the 'new potatoes' specified on the menu) griddled alongside them. On the side, there was a bowl of the same slivers of onion in hot sauce which had appeared on the starter. I avoided them. The Indian Sauvignon Blanc was nice enough, but didn't redeem a pretty miserable experience. I wouldn't return, or recommend - though I have the impression that won't bother them much as I didn't feel greatly valued."

"Great if you need some grease to soak up the alcohol after fire. Feel good when you have it, feel rotten and guilty the next morning. But hey, you only live once."

"Very good albeit like a Scandinavian post war school or East European library room. Very cute newspaper style menus with decent if slightly overpriced food."

"I went with friends last night and really enjoyed the place. The food was very good, the waiter was very knowledgable and quick to please. The bartender was excellent and the cocktails well made. All around really enjoyed myself and look forward to going back. I have been around Vauxhall for a long time and Counter is definitively the highlight of the area, and is well worth hopping on the Victoria line for to come and visit."

"Set lunch nowhere as good as previous visits. Emphasis on cheap fish and shellfish whereas before, lobster, turbot and other top ingredients featured. Fish pie weird with huge pile of breadcrumbs on top of a small amount of assorted fish, some of which was raw. But service and ambience made this an enjoyable occasion in spite of disappointing food."

"Undoubtedly high quality but it doesn't quite scale the peaks"

I really enjoyed the night out at your restaurant. The food was amazing, presentation was great and the wine suggested by the waiter was compliment with our meal. Definitely coming back!!

Visited earlier this month for lunch, taking advantage of a special offer via Open Table which for £25 gave us a starter and main course, plus a glass of sparkling wine. There was a good choice of varied starters, but the main course menu was very limited - only five options, three of which were burgers!The starters were all well presented and enjoyed by everyone: we had the baked Camembert, deep fried black pudding, smoked salmon and poached pear salad.For mains we had four burgers and one mushroom tagliatelle. The burgers went down well; I found the tagliatelle rather sticky and it had in fact stuck to the bottom of the bowl in places, there were also stringy bits of an unidentifiable vegetable which may or may not have been the parsley mentioned. I think I would have preferred to have the smoked salmon or baked Camembert starter instead.There was no desert menu and we waited some time for it to be brought, having said 'we'll have a look' when asked if we wanted deserts.The sparkling wine went down very well, in fact we ordered a bottle and at the end of the meal were told that it wouldn't be charged which was a pleasant surprise, but they added a 12.5% service charge onto the bill which rather negated that benefit.I'd probably choose to try somewhere else before going back here again.

We went for dinner yesterday at Tavern15. We were welcomed by a lovely host that took our coat and show us to the restaurant.The food was very tasty and well presented, especially the smoked Duck salad and the Baked Camembert were delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly, the waiter made our evening special. Will return

What a great little place. I booked it after reading some reviews online, just as well as it's not somewhere you'd stumble across despite it's excellent City location. The food was really tasty and the portions were a good size. The waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. Our waiter couldn't do enough for us, he recommended our wine and encouraged us to taste samples first. The restaurant itself was a bit quiet, due to being so well hidden I suspect, but it's worth seeking out if you're in that part of town. I'll happily return...

We went here for a business meeting/dinner. Table of 5 people, we chose to have a selection of starters, which were each of very good taste and size. Main courses were great too, a special mention for the burgers as they were outstanding, as per my dining pals. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection and the lovely crispy chips.Service was non intrusive and professional.At the time of our visit there was also a small reception going on the other side of the room which gave it a nice feel.Note, this restaurant is below ground.

A good experience on a fairly quiet Thursday lunchtime. @15 has a very club feel and an equally 'well attended member-like' experience to lunch. Basement level gives a quieter no traffic ambience but was well lit and bright enough. We had a good choice from the simple but well thought out menu and with courteous rapid but not overbearing service. On my list to revisit.

Very good food in a quiet, discreet environment. Small menu but food to suit all tastes, well prepared and tasty. Went for lunch in December and breakfast in January and both times was really happy with food quality and service. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with an air of professionalism from the coat check to the bill. Will be there a lot this year.

This is another venue very close to my office.It's in the basement of the private member's club (London Capital Club) and as a result I don't think people know it is there or at the very least think @15 is part of the club and not open to public access.This is absolutely not the case. @15 is a brasserie grill in the basement of LCC. It is large, spacious and bright ( no natural light as it is a basement). As no-one knows about it you can always get a table. The staff are prompt, polite, reliable and friendly.The menu is a little small and the portions fancy as oppose to massive and filling having said that I never leave hungry.The last time I went I was offered this new scotch egg course they were trialing and it was really good, quite inventive but interesting.I would go here with a large group 25-20 (I have booked it for company dinners of this size) but then have also done smaller business lunches for 2-4 people.As the LCC is still trying to raise it's profile you can always get a good deal here too. :)

First visit to this cunningly-hidden gem in the City. Quiet and comfortable, ideal for lunch especially December when parties are about.

We came across this place whilst walking through he City, and my only disappointment was not knowing the place was there before!!The food was exquisite, the service excellent and the variety of drinks was extensive. From speaking to staff the menu is changed frequently which is what any diner is after, and there is a brilliant lunch offer on at the moment - where else in the City can you get a 2 course lunch with a glass of wine for £20 per head?!?Will be back again soon...very soon in fact!

Wonderful food been coming here for 5 years recently ie the last 6 months have been superb ...........The soups are outstanding could not recommend more .......

Strange menu. Seven of us were eating and they got two of the orders wrong even though there was only one other table occupied at the time. I ordered the tortellini and it was so small (3 pieces) it took me under 3 bites to finish. There should have been a warning it was that small as it was listed as a main course and it meant I had to eat elsewhere after I had finished. Would not recommend you eat here and I will never visit here again
