We walked in to this restaurant purely just from walking by and we were super hungry. Little did we know how INCREDIBLE the food would be! One of the best lunches I’ve ever had—the king crab salad was SO fresh and the beetroot soup was super flavorful. Our main entree was the halibut and that did take a little long to come out, but it was worth the wait because it was the most silky, smooth baked fish ever. We wanted dessert but were too full! Highly recommend this restaurant, small and lovely.

Cozy and quaint restaurant. The dessert of the night was a sticky date pudding with toffee sauce and it was phenomenal. The lamb was quite good. We did not particularly like the gnocchi - it was not what we expected and tasted like a falafel/cornbread hybrid, but the pumpkin in the dish was delicious.

Atmosphere and the quaintness of the restaurant were amazing, it was cozy and warm and comfortable - the food was good food, some dishes were Okay (beef steak and potatoes) others were amazing! The biggest let down was probably the service, and that's coming from someone who has worked in hospitality. One specific waitress wasn't friendly, some of her comments felt passive aggressive and played a downer on our evening. So overall it was okay!

I came here for my birthday, and it was a lovely experience! This place is small and charming, with a cute and cozy atmosphere. It’s best to book about a month in advance as it tends to get fully booked quickly. The staff were friendly, and the wine selection was excellent. We were happy with our food overall—the lamb main was especially delicious. However, the pork chop was a bit too tough for my taste. The prices are very affordable for the quality, and I’d definitely come back again. A great spot for a special occasion!

Our server was very nice and checked on us regularly so 5* for that. The bread and the burrata were really good (I liked the flavours of the orange, nuts and balsamic, thought it worked very well), the gnocchi was not as good for me personally, with large pieces of sweet potato and the gnocchi itself was very different. My boyfriend liked his Rigatoni though. The chocolate terrine was interesting although I wasn't too sure on it, it was good to try once. I gave 3* mainly because I felt the price didn't really reflect what you were getting. I feel others may like it more than me, who like meat/fish dishes as the menu is quite interesting. The only other thing I'd say is we were downstairs and because it was quite empty, felt like we could hear the table across the room very easily as no music or anything to mute it so we didn't want to speak much either in case we were too loud.

Fantastic food, appropriately priced, excellent atmosphere. Only thing that detracted from the experience was automatically tagging a 1 pound charity donation onto the bill... While I realize this is configured as "optional", putting the customer in a position where they have to go out of their way to state that they don't want to give money to charity obviously creates an awkward situation. I am not a fan of businesses taking credit for being charitable by pressuring their customers to donate. It's not in good taste, which is surprising considering that the restaurant was otherwise so tasteful.

Small but perfectly formed. Good French food menu changing daily. Menu descriptions a bit random. Obviously these were shallots in these delicious moule not onions. Good choice of wines and always a wine of the day. Last time had a glass of madiera in that basis for about 9 quid. For the full dickens/ London vibe try and get the window tables.

Had a wonderful meal here last night. The service was 10/10 - big thank you to Marco who helped us pick a fantastic bottle of wine and really made our evening with his friendly and attentive service. We had the rigatoni, lamb, soup and burrata. Special mention of their home made bread. Also the stout cake was one of the best desserts we have had in a long time! Really great evening, we will definitely return. The ambience and cosiness of this restaurant adds that extra special touch.

My sister and I had booked months earlier for what we thought would be a lovely evening to commemorate a very special occasion - our Dad’s one year anniversary. Very cold and extremely classist service with a poor attitude. On arrival, we met the host, Alice, who rudely asked us our booking name and aggressively pointed to the table behind her, without acknowledging/looking at us. The food was fine, however it arrived before plates/cutlery was provided, and we had to chase staff for most things. Extremely disappointed by the lack of service, will not be recommending to others.

Although Mr Edmunds is no longer with us the place goes on. It is like a blast from the past at lunch time, with those in the know enjoying food, booze and gossip in West Soho as if they did not have a care in the world. The food – The pig’s head starter was one of the best ever – fat and pulled meat in a breadcrumb cube – like a pork fish finger – rich, punchy with plenty of texture and drama, all atop a mustard sauce. My companion had generous slices of slightly pink roast beef sirloin on toast served at room temperature and I had the black butter panfried monkfish on greens. This came with new potatoes on the side. The wine list is printed in reverse order with the pricey bottles at the top – It took some finding the get one under £40 but it was a good un end the end – Barbera D’Asti – Fruity, light and Moreish. We finished with baked cheesecake and a creamy rice pudding, a port and a coffee. What a session! – I was still flying when I got home. Go with a buddy and send yourself back to older and simpler times. Recommended.

Located in Soho, two outdoor tables, rustic interior with church wooden benches , paper table cloth, a bar and down stair seating. Cramped for space and also Low tables if more then 6feet3- Unable to fit your legs under the table . Starters of burrata, subtle flavours. The Sardines was large- was expecting the tiny Spanish but these , the bones in the middle were inedible. The ox tongue was good- like jerked meat. The whole Dover sole was excellent. Cooked to perfection with a lovely butter sauce. The meringue was good- light and fresh. The chocolate with berries was also Good. Service was slow, somewhat overwhelmed. The table was small when we got our food - lack of space.

Wonderful dinner, thoughtful dishes. Sourdough is aromatic, and butter is so delicious that I asked for its origin :3 First time seeing this horizontal cut of ox tongue. Tender with a slight crisp. The pigeon is also nice and slightly smoky. The special beef shin is tender, flavorful, with a prominent yet mellow wine flavor. The celeriac tastes good as well. Lamb spine chop is also perfectly cooked. Also appreciated the mixed vegetable. Unlike the greasy and heavy veggie dishes in other places, this one is healthy and doesn’t overpower the mains. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Looking forward to trying other dishes (and desserts!).

I've been drifting into AE for years, usually after buying prints and watercolours from Andrew himself (when he was around). Yesterday, I just went for a quiet lunch on my own to celebrate my birthday (strategically avoiding tedious family and friends). They gave me a lovely table by the window, which looks out onto that interesting little street. The food was amazing, as always - grilled sardines with salsa verde particularly nice. Even the sardines looked happy to be there, in their charred and crispy afterlife. I have complicated and boring allergies, and the waiters were absolutely exemplary about all that - which is no small thing at all. It was the best thing I could have done on my birthday. I enjoyed it so much - what a place to be, and how nice to go there on my own and take it all in. They even brought a little candle out for me propped up in some amazing dessert. It's just the best - always has been, and so long as there are sardines and hand-written menus, always will be. Not enough stars to give it (15? 20?).

Legendary Soho institution. Sadly everyone around us was English. In the heart of London. We felt bit out of place in there, although everyone was nice and polite. Starters were great for myself and my companion. Unfortunately mains were very average in taste, quite blatant even. Service was just ok. Nice but short interaction. Ambient obviously great. Romantic, cute and old fashioned. All in all I would say good 4. Nothing special or extraordinary but also not bad.

Food - fantastic. Fresh ingredients. Seasoned and served perfectly. The cheese selection from Neal’s Yard Dairy is spot on. Wine - no complaints, a good collection of European and new world. European collection is better. Service - not right. Inattentive, but then too fast when it should be the pause between courses. Our starters came out and the server was milling around chatting while the wine we had ordered 15 minutes prior still hadn’t even been taken off the rack. This would be fine if the place was a shambles but careless talking and not serving paying customers is poor. We had to ask three times for the wine. Atmosphere - ok. Acoustics aren’t great on the lower floor if there are loud tables of guests. The candles are a nice touch. Would I return - probably Would I recommend to a friend - maybe, but with disclaimers.

Wanted to love it but left wanting more. The meal was good, not outstanding. The atmosphere jn a central London place like this which is candlelit and intimate should be amazing but it was totally silent downstairs despite it being full. Needed some music to improve the atmosphere because all the action happens upstairs so there’s not even background noise of a bar/kitchen. Service was friendly but intermittent. Would definitely give it another go.

The food is nice and reasonably inexpensive for Soho. I wouldn’t rush back in case I was sat in the cold, dark empty basement again though. The waiter was very rude and made quite a big deal after I discreetly and politely asked to move upstairs, where there was still some empty tables. He told me to make my own atmosphere and kept referring to my request to move in front of my guests. It’s a mid range bistro right down to the style of food, paper napkins and the churlish maitre d. The waitress is pleasant and polite.

I’m afraid I’m unable to comment on the food at Andrew Edmunds because we ended up leaving without dining. Having booked a table for 2 many weeks before, we arrived looking forward to eating there. Although there were 3 available tables for 2 upstairs, we were taken to the lower ground dining room which was stuffy, over warm and completely empty. We asked if we could be seated upstairs but were told that that was not possible. We had by then made our way back upstairs and again asked to be seated in one of the vacant tables. “No we were told sternly, they are all reserved and what’s wrong with downstairs.” But we too had made a reservation many weeks ago. We were then ‘shushed’ and asked not to disturb the other diners. We unfortunately left, disappointed and hurt having been treated in a somewhat dismissive and uncaring way.

I just wanted to share what an excellent experience we had here last night. I have been aware of this restaurant for years but never got around to it. I must congratulate you on maintaining a restaurant experience that I thought had disappeared in London. Unpretentious, short menu wonderfully cooked with a British/French bias. Very friendly service from super experienced hard working staff who, crucially, know that they are doing. Excellent wine list but best of all, we walked out without feeling we had been financially abused. Where else in Central London can you get £6 - £9 starters and £20 to £25 mains of this quality with a wine list to match. The fact that you have survived almost 40 years in London (without going stale) is proof that you have the right formula. Bravo.

This is one of my favourite places in London and I normally recommend it to my friends and people I know are big foodies. This restaurant has been a staple of my London life since 1992, the year I moved to Uk, and it has always been consistent, faultless, and just perfect. The ambience is still good, the food is still good, the lack of attention to detail and the rushed, careless service from our waiter ( a short, bald guy that was probably rushed off or simply too busy to cope with guests asking for guidance on wines, or desserts, leaving us meanwhile we were talking to him, mid-sentence), is simply unbelievable. If you are busy, I understand, but leaving us meanwhile we are deciding, or asking your opinion, is not ok, no matter how you want to look at it. It happened twice, when I was asking for advise on the wine, and then again when we were trying to order the desserts. I am ok with waiting, I am ok with receiving the starters before the wine we ordered, I am ok with leaving the langoustine shelves on the table for a long time and getting the wine at the wrong temperature, and not clearing a small table, not replacing the dirty plates and cutlery, and not bringing the new cutlery, but it is not ok to tell us in an angry way to move a very small iPhone so he could put the new food on the table without having cleared the dirty plates and cutlery which were there for a long time first. This was also a birthday dinner for my best friend, and this was specified in the reservation. Of course it was ignored and nothing was mentioned or even acknowledged during our dinner. Again, I am astonished by how badly things have gone in one of my favourite places on the service side. We ordered the smoked mackerel and the langoustines to start with, the pork chop with fennel and the hake with anchoiade, plus a very good Chassagne Montrachet, and a brownie with blackcurrant and creme fraiche, together with a meringue with pear and chocolate sauce . I am very sad to say I am not rushing to go back . Which is a shame, as I was very fond of this restaurant.

I have been looking forward to taking my Mum here for months, I had saved up to have a really special evening but from the start I was disappointed… We were rudely greeted by Alice with “come in” and then “do you have a reservation” after it was very clearly stated on the door, only reservations were welcome! After a few minutes we were asked “do you know what you want” in a very impolite manner. All of this set the president for a very fine evening…not. We were sat near the bar and the hosts did not act professionally or make their frustrations unclear. At one point Alice huffed very loudly, this was one way amongst others that she made it very clear she did not want to be there or host us that evening or anyone else in the restaurant for that matter. It seemed we were there as a massive inconvenience. This was all a huge shame as the food was absolutely delicious and everything we could have wanted. The man who delivered our food was so polite and smiley, great hospitality…something Alice and her colleague need a lesson in, or 10. To me, it seems this restaurant is in need of a new front of house team or its reputation will burn to the ground Dear Andrew Edmund’s chef team, thank you, your food is delicious however, your FOH team is frankly rude and let you down.

I was being slow in deciding my main but the staff accommodated my request to switch the vegetables in the main with different vegetables from another main, without making me feel an annoyance or embarrassed, which I really appreciated it. They also have an incredible, long, superb list of French wines. We had a fantastic Pomerol and I was able to finally taste a Muscat de Baumes de Venise at the end of my meal. FANTASTIC PLACE

A delightful and cosy little restaurant in the heart of Soho that evokes an older and more bohemian London. The menu and wine list are top class as is the service. My venison was an excellent dish for a cold London day!

This was our second visit to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant is excellent. The atmosphere with its cozy wooden finish and dark candle lit setting is second to none. The hand-written menu and it's nameless entrance add to its appeal. We loved the starters: carrot & chestnut soup and crispy pig's head. The long and reasonably priced wine list was also well explained by the staff.

It was a really nice place and we went for Valentine's Day. I saw on the website they had a Valentine's Day menu as well as the usual a la carte menu. We did not want the Valentine's Day menu but when we got there and sat down they told us that on that day there would not be the a la carte option. This was not stated anywhere during the booking process and ended up having to spend a lot more money than we wanted which felt wrong. Just a heads up to the restaurant please make this clear before confirming a booking.

I used to eat here every now and then about 20 years ago. This first trip back in 20 years was a beautifully charming step back into the past. The restaurant has retained all its originality in a part of town that has largely gone down the corporate chain route. Andrew Edmunds still offers delicious classic food in warm intimate surroundings, with genuinely friendly service and reasonable prices. The wine list is exceptional and you won't find better value wine pricing anywhere else in Soho.

The menu is very small and the day I went, 3 out of 6 entrees were seafood. No roasts or any of the traditional British fare I expected. I had a rigatoni with ragu which was extremely mediocre. My wife had a pork chop which was good but not amazing. I was also not aware they had a very small store of liquors and unfortunately, I don't drink wine. The atmosphere is nice but depending on where you sit, the candlelit dining room may be too dark for you to read the menu. I'd try it the next time in in London as the menu does change daily... but I am unimpressed

A gem in the dohi. High quality English food in a place with few tables and very well attended. Good wine list. Highly recommended

My only complaint is that our starters and main were so satisfying and delicious that we sadly didn't have room for pudding.

V special dinner in the private dining room upstairs for a dear friend's birthday. V intimate. Felt like old Soho. Sophisticated menu and service. Didn't see the prices as we were guests!

Food was delicious but at times not warm enough more to do with the custard which was a bit lumpy

To start, had one of the best french onion soups ever!! Then the main course: steak and fries which was amazing! I ordered it medium (as you should ;)) and the meat was very tasty and tender The staff welcomed us and took their time explaining the menu Superb experience, definitely recommend!

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

Very different IVY. Much more elegant atmosphere. Booking required in advance. Lots of seating , amazing bar , amazing staff . They do have a set menu limited time and elaborate ala carte menu totally awesome . Staff friendly and quick in their service. Lots of guests are there to enjoy meals either pre or post meals after the show . So the weekend is crazy busy at this restaurant. For me I will visit here again
