Went here for dinner. It was very quiet the waitress said its normally like that on Friday's. The food was all very nice Braked brie followed by shepherd's pie with pieces of lamb rather than mince it was very tasty followed by chocolate tart for me and ice cream for my husband. It was quite expensive but I suppose that's London prices. Would go there again if in the area

Great little restaurant to have a business lunch near Paddington station. We are not members so we ate downstairs which had plenty of space. It was reasonably quiet -nice for us to be able to talk - and the food was delicious. I had the soup of the day (pumpkin) as I was not too hungry, and my colleague had the haddock and chips which he commented as also being very good.

Delighted to have been back at Frontline after 11 years. We had a wonderful lunch and the staff were so welcoming and hospitable. My picky eating 15 year old had no problem with the menu at all. There was something on the menu for everyone and all dishes were available. Such an interesting setting and was very pleased to get a look at the display cabinets upstairs which brought back some great (but sad) memories. Thank You and we will return, sooner rather than later.

We visited the Frontline Club's restaurant on a friend's recommendation and weren't disappointed. The unerring star of the evening was the unbelievably tender and generously proportioned chicken schnitzel. It's a simple yet tricky dish to execute well and the chef got it spot on. We were pleased, too, with the reasonably priced drinks and desserts. 5/5 for the indulgent chocolate tart and the beautifully spiced sticky toffee pudding. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet understated. Very much a safe haven just around the corner from Paddington station, and an ideal drop-in point for a quiet spot of supper before catching (with weary hearts) the train home. Hats off, Norfolk Place!

I am reluctant to review this publicly as I so enjoyed the evening that I would like to keep it to myself! Delightful decor and ambience, brilliant food, courteous and quick service, spotlessly clean, and in a location very difficult to find somewhere equally pleasant. We shall definitely visit again when next in that area.

The menu on the website bears absolutely no resemblance to the actual menu. We asked twice if we were in the right pace. The menu now is an attempt at upscale pub food, and mediocre at that. We were not the first persons who made mention to the staff but ownership has not responded. The menu on the website is the one we loved several years ago when last in London and why we went back. If it had not been raining heavily and we had not travelled some distance to get there, we would have left.

We visited Frontline for a mid wk evening meal and were delighted with the experience. Friendly attentive service, simple food made very well and buzzy atmosphere. We had smoked salmon, goan fish curry and cheese. The fish curry was fab -the highlight! Def worth a visit -interesting venue backed up by great food and service.

Where do we start? What an amazing find! The four of us spent a cozy evening together enjoying outstanding food (scallops are to die for), delicious wine and friendly service from a lovely guy called Ollie. 10/10 we would return without hesitation and what makes it even more special is the connection between the name front line and their generous contributions to charity. P.S when we say outstanding food, we mean the amazing bacon burger with its Smokey flavor and crispy charcoal patty with airy brioche buns it was just delicious? PP.S the sticky toffee pudding was delicious because it wasn’t just a store bake one that tastes of nothing it was an amazing ginger cinnamon pudding with a lovely toffee sauce. All I am saying is I highly recommend the food.

Found this place and it’s nice inside. Two staff on. Waited ages for drinks and were sat in bar for nearly 10 mins (could see them) so I went to the bar and took my own drinks back to table. Chap did apologise. Drinks were good. Ordered food with waitress, Waited 30 mins (no starter) only around 16/20 customers in at that time. Then Barman came over and said are we ready to order? Explained we did do over 30 mins ago. Again apologised and said would prioritise our food. When did arrive was over 50 / 60mins: Food was good though and weren’t in a rush (Fish & Chips and a Vegetable curry) Whilst there police arrived, table next to me 4 older guys had phone stolen off their table! Chap walked in with Just Eat gear on, wandered around the restaurant then took his phone and ran out! Happened just before we arrived and my phone was on table just before their table, so luckily dodged a situation there and def a potential violent altercation, as I would have been after him. Also was a situation with a staff member (I won’t go into it) which myself and another customer helped (even serving food ready to go out to other customers) we helped as she was really upset. Was a lovely girl as well, Really hope she was ok x Just a weird night, but would go again, food good, and I feel sure that this wasn’t a normal evening.

I try to get to The Frontline Club's restaurant, Norfolk Place, every time I'm in London. The light, brick walled room is lovely, the service is exceptional, and the food is perfect -- farm to table. The Frontline Club is a haven for foreign correspondents, and the restaurant is part of the Frontline enterprise. The location is very convenient/near Paddington Station. I highly recommend it!

This is a nice restaurant with a really good menu and very welcoming and attentive staff. I cannot fault the service at all. The food was very good and the overall ambience of the restaurant was great. I have marked down one star because of the cost - nearly £90 for three courses and half a bottle of wine. I am not a penny-pincher by any means but that does feel a bit steep for the experience. But I would definitely go back and I would recommend to others.

Recommended by our hotel which was only 5 mins walk away wecwandered up to see what it looked like. Small restaurant and menu looked good so we ventured in. Very friendly chatty staff and small but varied menu. We shared some hallomi balls and salt and pepper calamari as starters - both absolutely gorgeous, infact all the starters sounded good. Our main courses included seafood linguini, cheese burger and steaks. All were again very good. Together with some cocktails and a very drinkable bottle of wine was a lovely evening. We were the only people in there, the staff said that it was generally very quiet at the moment but they were hoping it would slowly get busier. Personally I love the new quieter London but most be worrying as a business. Not sure why trip advisor says this place is closed until Dec '21 as it most definitely isn't,.

We were the only customers from 6-8pm except 2 couples on the pavement terrasse. So we were very Covid secure, though for me the tables are still too close together when it’s bustling. It’s a lovely room and a 5 minute walk from Paddington station, a surprise to have a place of this quality there, honestly speaking. Chilli squid was great, huge portion, then fish snd chips for £17 hit the spot with lovely dry house rose. Couple of fish specials sounded good but otherwise the menu is much reduced, understandably. We will be back.

In days when press freedom and integrity is undermined this place matters - if you are a member. If you eat in the restaurant it’s otherwise fairly ordinary. Nothing memorable, ok service, and over priced. Meal for two, wine, a not unusual Rioja, two courses coming in at £180 - a bit rich. Even by London prices, which are ridiculous - the meal was insufficiently memorable, given the bill.

We were meeting up with old friends from Denver who were returning from their honeymoon in Europe. They had a stopover in London on their way back home. My friend used Google to choose a local place suitable for a nice dinner. It is a very short walk from Paddington station. The reception staff were excellent helping us secure our unbooked table upstairs on the mezzanine floor. It is a classy sophisticated establishment serving great quality food in a low light kind of romantic setting. There is a glitzy shinny curving staircase leading to the upstairs. All the tables are closely packed but it felt more intimate than cramped. This would make a great first or romantic date night dinner venue. Some of the starters were pricy but the mains were reasonable set against their high quality. They had a good range of specials and the wine was nice with prices starting at everyday levels. This is definitely on my - go again list!

We were stating near Paddington Station for an early morning flight out of Heathrow, and I was looking on the web for a nearby place for dinner. I liked the Frontline Club's menu description -- "seasonal modern British food" -- so we gave it a try. What a great choice! For starters, I had a beautiful burrata with heirloom tomatoes and radicchio -- perfectly seasoned; my partner had mussels in a garlic-wine sauce, which he pronounced among the best he had eaten. For mains, a vegetable curry was just OK and needed spice; but my Vegetable Wellington was divine and tasted as beautiful as it looked.

In a part of London that is overflowing with Arabic and Middle Eastern eateries, this is a welcome alternative. It does not promote itself as such, but it is a decent gastropub. Its location immediately opposite the archway to St. Mary’s Hospital, places it in the heart of Paddington. The contemporary décor and ambience are relaxed, however it got slightly noisy later in the Friday evening when we were there. Food is well sourced, cooked and presented. The menu offers classical gastropub dishes which suit every palate. The wine list is definitely more sophisticated than that of a gastropub: offering crowd pleasers as well as exciting varieties. Service is excellent and prices are not more than what is expected in that part of town and of that standard.

Had lovely meal here. The menu has a great selection and there were a number of specials as well. I went for the tartare and pork. Both were excellent and really tasty. A nice selection of wines by the glass and a really nice atmosphere. Great place for a relaxing dinner.

This may not be the best food in London, but it is close to it. A menu of simplicity that is predominantly, but not exclusively , low carb. Plus a very good and extensive wine list with good quality wines chosen to compliment the well balanced menu.

Nous avons passé une soirée au Frontline et nous n’avons pas été déçus. La carte n’est pas très variée mais les plats sont fins et très bien cuisinés. La tourte à l’agneau et les pêches pochées sont excellents. Le tout dans un cadre calme et un service très sympathique. Cette petite adresse vaut de faire un détour hors des grandes artères.

I have eaten quite regularly at his restaurant and club and have been captivated by the quirky but stylish interior.

Cenamos, no estaba lleno cuando llegamos, pero comimos temprano. Menú es pequeño pero lo que te dan es de buena calidad y hechos en las premisas. El personal era amable y atento. La comida era de buena calidad, sabroso y bien presentado. No es un lugar ideal para una comida barata

Con tanta variedad en Londres, que he visitado con relativa frecuencia, debido a la calidad de la comida, la entusiasta precios y la cercanía a la estación de Paddington. Después de la última noche estoy izquierda preguntan sobre una visita de vuelta. No han sido desde febrero, nueva gestión o nuevo motor de precios o ambos?

Bel ristorante, ottimo il cibo, gentile anche il personale. Saluti in particolare a Desirè da Sandro e Vanessa.

The neighborhood near Paddington doesn’t seem to have many fine dining establishments, and while the vibe is casual and the prices reasonable, the decor is lovely, the lighting is perfect (I’m a lighting snob) and the food was fantastic. We could have licked the plates. Visit their website. Their ethics are to be admired as well. Since we were staying near Paddington, I wish I’d eaten there NOT on our last night in London so I could have gone twice. Best to make a reservation - it isn’t large.

En el Día de la Boda Real, un amigo y yo había estado en el teatro vaudeville en el Strand y disfrutamos de la matinal. Después de caminar por esa zona incluyendo el Covent Garden, los lugares estaban llenos, los pubs demasiado ocupado, demasiado muchas hamburguesas y pizzerías, así que nos dirigimos a la estación de Paddington para coger el tren más tarde. Allí abajo Norfolk Place, nos espied un encantador edificio antiguo con su "Hardware" y todavía Ironmongers pintado. Esta fue la primera línea, Club donde disfrutamos de una comida y vino. Muy relajante, después del caos de Covent Garden. Fue un servicio muy buena, así que recomiendo sin duda. Aparte de estar cerca de Paddington, también estaba muy cerca de la calle Mary's Hospital.

Service was very pleasant but also slow. Atmosphere very good. Some food was excellent - mussels/ lamb pie and some poor - belly pork. An OK experience for the money

We had a couple of drinks each and sat outside. Reasonable menu and prices. We were however forgotten about after going in to order our second round and paid. I had to go back in to remind them we were still waiting.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le décor et l'atmosphère, bien apprécié le service aimable et attentif mais si je recommande cet établissement c'est surtout pour la qualité des plats, de l'originalité des saveurs, de l'esthétique de la présentation .Un sans faute.

Nous avons pris la en entrées la salade avec du canard et le saumon fumé maison et en plats la Lamb pie et le fish and chips, nous nous sommes régalés!!!! De bons conseils pour le vin, des claires explications pour les desserts, le tout avec le sourire. une formidable trouvaille.

Hemos comido aquí varias veces como locales y atesorar como un gran lugar para la buena comida y el vino, servicio y ambiente que es totalmente carente de paddington alrededor mucho, como es el caso con un montón de estaciones de tren en todo el mundo. El hecho de que también es la ubicación de la famosa mundo de "primera línea" de los periodistas y fotógrafos cuyo trabajo adorna las paredes del restaurante sólo añade a su atractivo y ambiente. Muy especial.

average Sunday roast - we did the 4 persons, and didn't think it was good value - they only tell you afterwards it's unlimited veg.

I ordered chicken breast from the main menu. The meat was very tough. I told the waiter about this. He replied that this dish is in demand). Then I said that your cook doesn’t know how to cook it. I don't recommend this establishment.

One of the oldest Tavern in the World, dates back to 1121 apparently, located in the heart of the City. Really cosy wooden pub with ambient lighting and cheminee. Food was ok, had some small plates, 5 for 35pounds.

Beautiful cocktails but a complete boys club. Staff exclusively addressed my husband and not me. They expected him to order for us both, asked him how the drinks were, thanked him as he left. I may as well not have been in the room. I appreciate that the vibe is old fashioned but this isn't the 1800s and it's pretty astonishing to not be addressed or even glanced at once.
