28-50 Fetter Lane in City of London, Westminster

Generally fine - attentive service, food was well-presented and delicious. They should go easy on the salt though, particularly with the fries.

This was a business lunch and they got us in and out with no drama or issues. The food is always inventive and paired with the right wine or other beverages. Great place to explore some wine pairings.

Cosy, rustic wine bar. Great wine, however small portion sizes when it comes to the food.

Lekker gegeten, vriendelijke bediening. Minountje was dat de champagne niet koud genoeg was en daar wisten ze niet direct een oplossing voor te bieden. Het ijslands lam was mals en perfect klaargemaakt.

I found this place to be a bit loud for a weeknight. The food was enjoyable and the wine was decent enough. I found that I enjoyed Noble Rot much more for a similar style place.

been here several times now - always friendly without being obtrusive, good food, pleasant ambience.

Very pleasant lunch in you are in the City - reasonable prices, good food and wine and service

First time at this restaurant, really excellent, food was so good, we were delighted

We met up with friends and went to the Fetter Lane branch. I had bought some fish to eat the following day and they put it in their fridge for me. All waiters were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Two of us had cod which was perfectly cooked, the other teo burgers which were also very good. The wine recommendations were matching very well. Can fully recommend this restaurant. We will go back and so are our friends.

Gen of find. Hidden away at basement level only, but really nice overall experience in an area where they’re really aren’t many restaurants.

A friend suggested 2850 so we went for lunch on a Wednesday. There was no record of the booking (maybe his fault, maybe theirs)

Food excellent, slightly cold in the venue but that may be because it was a really cold night. Only slight bugbear was the attitude of one of the waitresses who I think is the lead waitress. She was offkey with my questions and I felt that I was an intrusion on her time when in fact all I was asking was directions to the bathroom. It wasn't as if the restaurant was full either. Otherwise a good evening.

Qué lugar tan encantador. Desde el momento en que dejar la calle y descender las escaleras la delicia atmosférico parece de poca altura. Nos encontramos con la encantadora stff eho nos mostró a nuestra mesa. Aunque la zona es pequeña no tuve la impresión de que estábamos en la parte superior de los demás.

A great find. i cant say enough as to how much we enjoyed all aspects of your visit. Atmosphere food service and staff were all excellent.

We were very happy with our choice of restaurant - we wanted a leisurely dining experience near our hotel after a long day of travelling. The food was very good, the rib-eye steak even fantastic, there was a good selection of wines. Service was friendly enough. Good value for money if You are in the neighbourhood.

Excellent meal and terrific choice of wines. Great private dining area for our group of 10.

Must visit for wine lovers. Went to 28-50 to celebrate my birthday with friends. Great wines, fantastic food and service. Wine list is regularly kept up to date, meaning every time you go is another excitement.

Cozy and nice ambient to meet friends and chat. Extended wine list but poor menu. We ordered a cheese platter with our wine - was tasty but tiny... I think needs improvement. Overall it was ok and I would like to visit the other stores.

Great restaurant offering a simple but great choice of foods. Wine was great and a good deals are on offer, good venue for business lunches and dinners. Great ambiance.

Came here primarily for the wine and was not disappointed. I was able to select a couple of premium wines (Barolo and and 2nd growth Bordeaux) by the glass (thank you Coravin) - which other restaurants could really learn from.

Excellent food, bistro style, interesting and lovely wine choices (and although we didn't try it, a Monday option of Bring Your Own). Despite being a basement open space, felt intimate. Easy for conversation without overhearing others or being overheard.

Really nice place, busy but still quiet enough to have a conversation. Good food with friendly and helpful staff.

The offer was a good one. The service was really nice the only thing that I would say is that the tables were too close together

Great service, fabulous selection of wine. So flexible half of the table went for the set menu and the other half order from evening menu with ease. Waitress was attentive, personable and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend 28-50

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Nice atmosphere, great food and great service.

This place is a hidden gem. Loved it and the wine was brilliant. It is tucked away on fetter Lane in the city and when you walk through the entrance and down the stairs, it will surprise you as to how nice the ambiance is there. I was very pleased with the snacks, starters, mains, desserts and the whiskey I had at the end. Service was brilliant and staff were attentive.

Great food, excellent wine list, will return. Perfect spot for a business lunch.

Haber tenido muy buenas experiencias en las otras dos ramas de 28 - 50, que confiaba en que el tercer restaurante en Fetter Lane, sería una buena opción. Por lo tanto, me decepcionó mucho que tanto el servicio y la comida aquí era un poco decepcionante.

I was most impressed that they immediately knew about my very special dietary requirements and catered for them superbly. Food is presented beautifully and it is very fresh. The choice of wine by glass and size of glsss is exceptional. It is a little haven of sophistication yet friendly warmth in Fetter Lane. I love it.

Asistí aquí una noche de lunes con otros 9 compañeros de trabajo. Me pareció que todo el lugar le faltaba un poco de ambiente. Mientras que el menú era extenso no encontré la comida estupenda. Tuve el cordero como el principal y este era muy grasoso y no son especialmente buenos.

Tenía una pequeña experiencia de cena en este restaurante porque estaba cerca de nuestro hotel. Está en un sótano, pero bien, una vez que estás dentro. Parecía un poco tranquilo y aún el servicio no era óptima. Sin embargo, la comida era muy buena. En general me pareció un poco la factura a mucho por la experiencia, pero disfrutamos de todos modos.

We eat in the city a lot for corporate lunches and I don't think this restaurant is good value. I thought the service was slow and the staff were not attentive. Two of us had wine and they waiter didn't ask if the other guests dining wanted something else to drink, we had to prompt this. We had the salmon off the special menu and it was a small portion and expensive for what it was. Unfortunately we would not come back to this restaurant as it didn't wow us enough. The food was very nice but not good value for money and the service needs improving.

Business lunch. We all ended up opting for the set menu. Food came quickly and was cooked as ordered. Espresso was good to round off. No complaints

El servicio y la comida son buenos, pero me dio la sensación de que tenían bastante exprimido en demasiadas mesas. Interesante y variado menú. No beber alcohol, pero mi cena compañeros muy altamente de la lista de vinos

Una joya culinaria en el medio de Londres! ! ! Excelente comida y gran ambiente, cómodo restaurante. Postres deliciosos y excelentes vinos para acompañar. El personal estaba bien informado y muy amable. Una ensalada de cangrejo y carpaccio de pescado. El pollo estaba delicioso, así eran los desiertos, especialmente la mousse de chocolate con el traslado de caramelo. ¡Bien hecho! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Great find. Food was excellent, the staff charming and the atmosphere a delight after a very busy morning. I had a great chicken dish which was attractively served and my guests had the risotto and a steak dish.

Una joya! Escondido en el sótano de un edificio bastante al final anónimo de la calle Fleet de Fetter Lane sería fácil perderse. Pero sin faltar un regalo. Excelente opciones del menú y precios bastante razonables en la carta y el menú del almuerzo de precio fijo es de buena calidad.

A little gem ! Tucked away in the basement of a fairly anonymous building at the Fleet St end of Fetter Lane it would be easy to miss this. But you'd be missing a treat. Excellent menu choices at fairly reasonable prices on the a la carte - and the fixed price lunch menu is extremely good value. Very interesting wine list. Pleasant bistro-type seating makes for a pleasant ambience. I'll be going back for sure !

This was a nice venue for a working lunch, close to many city firms, with perfectly good food and wine, but nothing particularly memorable.

Yo quería encontrar un bar de vinos cerca de Fleet Street, en la ciudad de Londres y estaba encantado de ver un listado para este restaurante/bar de vinos que parecía realmente bonito en las fotografías en su sitio web. Se anuncia como tener una lista de alta calidad de sus vinos y, aunque un poco caro, parecía un lugar merece una visita. Está en el sótano, no es una gran zona y mitad de mesas, para comer - si queríamos una copa o cena de canapés, pero no te podías sentar en un taburete en el bar o a lo largo de una pared. Tan lejos, tan bueno. Parecía muy agradable cuando llegamos. Pero nos sentamos en dos taburetes de contra la pared, en el extremo más cercano a la escalera que conduce desde la calle, y estaba congelada por una corriente abajo de la puerta de la calle! Obviamente hay un problema con ser muy corrientes porque tenían una cortina pesada al otro lado de la escalera pero aún así no el proyecto, era completamente miserable. Lo que hizo que más molesto es que, aunque todos los bancos fueron tomadas, sólo uno de los seis u ocho mesas que estaban más en la habitación, y por lo tanto probablemente más cálidos, estaba siendo utilizada. Seguramente, si tenían algo de sentido y sé que es extremadamente frío, cerca de la puerta que podría haber hecho las mesas disponibles ya que no se utilizaban para la gente del comedor. Mal servicio al cliente y una experiencia deprimente. Sin duda, no volvería a ir. Hay bares mucho mejor vino muy cerca, son tonterías que hacer esto a sus clientes.

We had lunch here and mostly chose from the special lunch menu which was very good value and delicious. Staff were very friendly and without being overly-attentive. Highly recommended (especially the steak and the Dover sole!)

Ever reliable, Virv and the team make you feel very welcome. Interesting and varied wine list, good food, excellent value set lunch option, and always a positive and busy hum.

Found this lovely little restaurant underground on fetter lane. Served excellent steak from a set menu and came with a glass of wine all for just over £20. My steak was cooked exactly as asked and nice and tender.

Llevé a mi amigo que vive en España para un almuerzo de señoras. El restaurante es un lugar encantador para disfrutar de una charla privada y reírse. Tuvimos un servicio excelente, suficiente atención para no esperar, pero tranquilo y no apresurado de la mesa. Empezamos con un par de aperitivos, chorizo y la panceta de cerdo. Que es divina. Tuve el onglet, muy sabroso y con un corte de carne diferente. Mi amigo tenía el spatchcock: Se sirven con ensalada y patatas fritas, el mejor de todos. Luego tuvimos queso seguido de un dulce. Todo acompañado con una botella delicioso de vino tinto. Muy buena relación calidad-precio y un momento de relax. Sin duda recomendable.

A friend and I had a latish lunch here on a Wednesday.The attraction for us was the wine list which is excellent. We also had very good, simple but well presented and cooked food.The charcuterie sharing platter was first class, and the goose terrine was decent. A burger, and plaice, were also good. We had three bottles of wine, in the interest of research, all of which were from good producers and competitively priced with lower mark-ups than we have become used to in London.The sommelier was knowledgeable and interested, and the service was uniformly good. I would definitely visit again-hadn't known about them before.

We particularly enjoyed the lunch we had at 28-50, the food was really great and the service pleasant. The price is quite expensive but the location is excellent.

They are only interested in gouging as much from your credit card as they can - other than that the staff couldn't care less. Food ordinary. Dessert even more ordinary. I suspect they cater for the local legal fraternity, and so don't need to try hard for business - and it shows!

28-50 always delivers; fantastic wine list with some good value (does not = cheap) wines on offer from an extensive offering. I can particularly recommend their Rieslings which are too often over looked. Add to this a convivial atmosphere and great bar food, this makes for a delightful off the beaten track bar. There is also a good restaurant and a private room available for special events.

As always, excellent food and service and a busy atmosphere. Perfect for lunch (have never been for dinner).

French bistro style food in a warm setting that is a great match for their huge and varied wine list. I've been going for years and it never misses a beat.

Nice restaurant, had their early meal deal that was very good value, no rush, pleasant rustic atmosphere

Having enjoyed other 28-50 locations we were were keen to try this one in Fetter Lane. Service not great despite it being an early booking during a quiet lunchtime. We were shocked when server came back to us asking for cash as they'd put wrong amount through on credit card. Not what you want at a business lunch!

The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent.

Having been to their other locations, 28-50 Fetter Lane doesn't disappoint. The wine list was excellent and we had superior service.

My wife and I came here for a quick pre-theatre bite. The personnel was very attentive - they noted that we wanted to eat quickly and helped make our choices accordingly. When my nicer half asked for more chutney for a cheese platter, it didn't cause any problems. The food was very good. I liked the cheese platter and my burger was up to high standards. We ordered young and inexpensive wines by glass but you can have pricier options. We liked the ambience - wooden tables, quiet conversations, candles on the tables. Shame we had to leave quickly to catch the show (about 12 minutes walk to Royal Opera House). We will definitely come again for a proper romantic dinner.

Very ably cooked and presented food. Prompt and friendly service. Entirely unpretentious. It was a pleasure to be able to talk to each other without shouting

Business meeting, very helpful and attentive staff, we tried the charcuterie plate very tasty and great value. The wine list was impressive but much requires deep pockets proceed with caution if you've had a few!WiFi a bit slow Overall great ambience, staff, food and wine.

So difficult in London not to be satisfied with the food when its British/European. This type of food is harder to get tasty than say Thai.This place delivered on taste - at a stiff price but well worth it to get good quality starters, mains and desserts. Good service and a good wine list add up to a good experience.

Rarely do I write a review of a restaurant, and when I do it's normally for the wrong reasons. However, the food and service of this restaurant was excellent. I requested a quiet table ahead of time because my friend has a hearing impairment. While there were no guarantees made with the booking, when we arrived we were given the most perfect table for four on the mezzanine level of the restaurant. It meant we could have an uninterrupted conversation over our lunch. This combined with excellent service and a very reasonably priced set lunch menu meant we will be coming back again very soon. I also highly recommend both the triple cooked chips and the truffled cauliflower cheese!

Although not too many tables occupied on Monday evening there was still a lovely atmosphere. The decor and different levels/seating area all made for a great venue. <br />my risotto which was beautifully cooked and presented but unfortunately overpowered by way too much salt. All other courses enjoyed. Great choice of wine and reasonably priced too. Staff were excellent.

Friendly efficient staff, good food. Good wine list with some reasonable prices. Set menu portions are small and the side dishes are small and overpriced.

We really wanted to like this place: It was not to be. We had booked in advance for a special night and were really looking forward to a nice meal out with some great wines. What we got was a rather rude Maitre'd and rather ordinary meals and wine in a noisy cavern of a a space. Unfortunately, on the night we dined there was a large, boisterous Christmas party in attendance. Given the acoustics of the space, the noise was quite deafening (it is a bit disappointing large Parties are accepted for dinner bookings when plainly there is no private space for them). So, we asked the Maitre'd if we could be moved to a table away from the noise. However, we were informed in the most unapologetic and with almost palpable disdain that they were fully booked. We could have let this rudeness go if it wasn't for the fact that the table behind us remained empty ALL evening! On top of this, we were really looking forward to enjoying some fines wines, but when we asked about some guidance with the wines, all we got was a sneer and wave to the wine list! So, onto the meals. We shared two tiny entrees (both unmemorable); followed by Duck and Lamb mains. The Duck was nicely presented, but we agreed it was the most bland tasting duck we've ever eaten; the lamb turned out to be a much nicer dish on this occasion. But, the dessert of Apple / Rhubarb Crumble was by far the worse dessert we've eaten to date in London, and that is saying something! It was a microscopic thin layer of fruit covered with what can only best be described as 'gravel'. It was really awful! And, that pretty much sums up our evening: really awful.

We've just had a very nice afternoon spent in this restaurant for our department Christmas work do. The food was excellent, normal sized portions for a lunch and good serviceThey could do with NOT charging us £3.50 for a soda water with two bits of lime in it though !! It would actually be cheaper to have alcohol

Overall a great experience at Fetter Lane. Great location, service and ambience. Varied menu of meats, seafood and vegetarian. Only issue we had was that the pork cutlet was very underdone and had to be redone. This was done well on the second time round however and the service managing this was good.

Booked weeks in advance and we were still stuck right next to the office Christmas party. Asked if we could have another table and told that there weren&#039;t any available - yet the table in front of us was empty the whole time we were there. The noise levels in the restaurant meant that the three of us couldn&#039;t have a conversation. The food was ordinary, should have known as soon as I saw chips on the sides menu. Dessert - total disappointment - apple crumble just mush. should have gone to a pub and had the same noise levels and maybe better food, but saved 100 pounds.

Always a good experience, the food is great, the service is very good and the wine selection is fantastic. The glass selection has something for everyone and the Friday feature wines are superb value.

28-50 is always a delight - the food is always top notch and good value and they certainly know their wines. Just a great place.

Apparently they source some of their wine list from collectors. That means it can have some eclectic bottles on it and can vary from visit to visit. The wines we had were excellent. The appetizers also very delicious. Nice atmosphere. I enjoyed a very rare colheita port for dessert. My complaint was that my steak was rather undercooked. Yes, I could have chosen to send it back (and I didn't) as I'm no stranger to eating truly rare steak, but I did request medium rare and it was definitely not that, at least as far as I'm aware. They likely would have made it right, so I'm not docking them hugely for that. A place I would return, however.

Visited a week ago in a hurry at 1330 and they had difficulty in delivering food quickly despite few customers. Bread was stale but when I asked for it to be replaced I was given toast!Despite this I returned yesterday with plenty of time and experienced top smiling service from the polite and amiable staff. Very tasty goose terrine with mustard and a perfectly cooked lamb fillet. Pity about the £3.50 for water. With two glasses of wine and obligatory service charge the above amounted to £48 (cor!). But I will return as the food is great, the large room is attractive and the wine-list good. The wooden floors and tables make for a hard acoustic and if you are unlucky with your fellow-diners the braying can be trying, but that is contemporary Britain.

We had a table for two with larger tables of six either side of us, which meant we were slightly &quot;surrounded&quot; . Nevertheless the service was very attentive and informative about the wine.<br /><br />Good food in a smart modern setting and I will use the restaurant again.

Not as good as usual - I felt a bit underwhelmed by the level of service the quality of the food and the overall general experience which was unusual as I have dined here before and had a great meal.<br />Overall a bit disappointed.

Very professional service, and good atmosphere on a weekday lunchtime. Not the best value ever - the portions were quite small given the pricing - and they&#039;re not above being cheeky enough to give you a double size of the same cheese and charge you as if you had two different ones.

Have been here a number of times after work close by, as (more often) to the Marylebone Lane branch. The ever-changing wine list by the glass is outstanding and very good value, the food varied and good, if more expensive per size of portion. The service at Fetter Lane is excellent, indeed charming.

Surprise location found by my son who lives in London. Not visible from the street you need to go down several flights of stairs - but well worth the effort.Really good food and that is a compliment as I live in Brussels and we are in food heaven there. I had cod with butternut puree and Kohlrabi , my son had sea bass in an oriental broth -both dishes cooked to perfection, portions good so you don't feel over eaten at the end.Only bemol was the practically non-existent wifi reception - not surprising when you are in a cellar. Friendly all female service. Will be back asap

Very good dining / wine tasting experience. List of wines sold by the glass are interesting and in different varieties. Rather than betting on a bottle, trying different glasses and finding out the differences is fun.

Staff attentive and friendly but not personal. A bit like a upmarket burger joint.<br />Flatiron steak was abysmal, I had to rip it even with a steak knife. £18.00 for a substandard steak badly cooked is ridiculous. Chips where ok but again to expensive for what the are.<br />I had some concoction of fig dessert which was more like a deconstructed granola pot.<br />I had twice a mineral water spritzer as I was topped up with still water into my fizzy drink.<br />So no I want return.

Very pleasant meal, focus upon the wine. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and helped choose the perfect wine for a mixed pairing of courses.

I went here on a business meeting for lunch. The feel of the restaurant was very cosy and as you would expect had a great wine list. Yes the menu was small but it didn't matter as I thought it was well thought out and beautifully presented and very tasty. The service and food was fairly quick as well which was helpful as it was a work lunch! I will certainly be back.

Been here a numebr of times now. Always reliable, quality, good service and you can hear people talking to you!

Good service and excellent food. Good, varied menu. A little noisy and not much space between the table but this is on a par with other restaurants in the area.

This was my third or fourth visit for lunch and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time! Good food, good service, good wine - and do-able in a lunchtime.

We had one night in London and wanted to experience the wine bar scene. Walked to 28-50 Fetter from our hotel. Very low key and enjoyable tasting menu. Would be difficult for anyone with walking problems to get down to the seating area as there was no lift. As visitors on a Tuesday night we noticed the place had a club and membersseemed to have fuller wine lists to choose from. Wine and food were affordable and we had a few good recommendations from the sommelier.

Great restaurant. Nine ambience, food, wine and service. We asked for pairing our food with the wine. The sommelier very knowledgable and gave us interesting introduction on why he chose the wines with our order. They were perfect with our chosen food, for example the Austrian Pinot noir with my salt beef starter. The price we paid including service was just right. <br /><br />Would definitely recommend and return.

Really nice restaurant, good atmosphere, not too big, nice wines. Attentive service. Really enjoyed it, will come back.

Strong library wine list with really good value and great assortment of vintages - from &#039;85 through today. Starters, including triple fried chips, salumi plate and beetroot salad were all solid. Grilled selection was strong (beef, pork) but all a la carte. Really personal service and super knowledgeable staff with their wines (with no stuffiness!).

The atmosphere is good in this underground restaurant. It has an interesting, but slightly expensive wine list and the Sommelier is very good. The other staff were also friendly and helpful. However the menu is limited and the steaks we had were tough. An OK place that could be better

The service was amazing, friendly, helpful with terrific Wine recommendation and great food. What more could you ask for.

A relaxed, cosy atmosphere with excellent wines by the glass and great food. The wine waiter was really nice, friendly and knowledgeable.

Great meal and ambience. I would recommend this restaurant to others seeking great food and drink.

Good reliable restaurant for an evening meal with friends

3rd or 4th visit here. Consistently good and reasonably priced (although not cheap). Decent selection of wines by the glass.

Great place to dine with friendly, and attentive staff. The wine list is excellent.

Delicious food. Excellent service and very friendly and informative staff. We had a lovely evening.

Popped in with a party of five and no reservation. Fortunately, it was a bit early, and the staff was very accommodating in finding a spot for us. Original intent was to have a glass of wine and move on. Turned out, three bottles of wine, a full meal, and dessert later, that we would enjoy a great evening at 28-50. No detail needed on the meal as everyone was pleased with the product. Highly recommend this spot whether for either a glass of wine, from a superb selection, or an evening out.

Lovely food and delicious wines gave us a really enjoyable late lunch on our visit to London for the theatre. Wish we lived nearer!

Second visit. Very handy for The Strand area. Food very good. Service excellent, very attentive. Bill for lunch for 4 including starter, main and coffee with 3 glasses of wine (in total) came to about £170 including service charge.

Absolutely lovely place, the staff are so kind and the steak amazing (and without the london price tag) - will make it a regular stop!

Yet another exceptionally good meal, enhanced by some excellent wine and impeccable service.

We had a delicious lunch. We all chose differently and all enjoyed our individual menu choices. Both the red &amp; white wine were good.<br />We were served promptly and were well looked after.<br />Would definitely like to go again.

I like 28-50 because the food is consistently good and it is a convenient place for lunch near the office. However, the servive this time was incredibly slow, they didn&#039;t event take our orders for the first 25 minutes and then we had to wait a long time for our main courses. If this happens again I would not recommend it for business.
