Jamies - Bishopsgate in City of London, Westminster

A good way to eat healthy and quickly

Very nice customer service, went for lunch and the palace was very busy but very well organise and smoothly served,

Friendly and smart service, nice interior, quick but healthy food, enjoyed my lunch a lot, would definitely come back

The best itsu branch ever, clean, great customer service, nice atmosphere and delicious food

Nice fast food for a quick dish

Most bland food I have ever tasted came the chicken broth was just water and had to keep adding sauces to add flavour and they were just spicy sauces so not impressed with this meal

Very helpful staff, delicious food

After 9:30 It is half price :) staff are friendly, opposite Liverpool Street station. They close at 10. They have a clean toilet.

Waked in and I was standing Infront of the main counter.Soon was approached by this gentleman called Chris.He politely asked me if I need any help and offered to show me the self service machine which I could order from.He explained how to navigate through the menu which was helpful.ln which made this visit very memorable that shows that good customer service does exist. I've added pictures of what I've ordered spicy chicken teriyaki with teriyaki bao bun.

Love the *Famous coconut soup*.

There's an excellent experience in trying east Asian foods in this restaurant. Japanese sushi is highly recommended. The taste is exaggerated via Wasabi. Highly recommended

Huge hidden inflation with slightly up price for much smaller size sushi and california thickness reduced by 50%.... Consumer stupid ? your call ;-)

Chris THE SENSEI is amazing! caring and went beyond to help me settle down and treated to a complimentary coffee!! definitely my favourite spot now in liverpool st area!!

Discovered by chance and it was still worth it. I took advantage of the promo which includes Misosoup and avocado roll for just over £5. Good food, fast service. It is recommended for a quick lunch break.

i love itsu, but they increased the price to eat in since few weeks and i defo now found it too expensive and really inconvenient

A very healthy and cute restaurant. With really delicious soups. Try Famous coconut chicken and chicken crystal noodle miso.

I do like sushi from there and some other stuff, however since they put screens up, you can't just browse for foods. People who are there force you to the screen to see the menu. I am a person who likes to see things before buying and to make the decision. So many times I was standing by the food thinking what to have or was looking at the baozi, staff was kindly forcing yo the tills as if I trouble them by standing and thinking. Prefer Wasabi in this respect, you can shop without being forced the help from the staff. Hence the service is one star, same for the atmosphere.

Very nice and fresh looking restaurant. Food was good and customer service is great too. Chris was on the floor and he made sure we looked after and if needed any help he is there. Will come back again thanks

Amazing food, amazing friendly and helpful service

Good service and great food . This itsu is beautiful and with lovely team.

Was a great bar but unfortunately now closed

A pleasant and nice bar in a great location would recommend for drinks after work

Great service from all the staff (we were served by at least four people) who were sociable and funny. Had the kale salad as was having a detox day, it was amazing and one of the best salads I’ve ever had, with loads of grilled chicken. Nice raised setting above Bishopsgate so you get the buzz from the street whilst being away from the bustle.

We found everything about our evening enjoyable. We ate early (6pm) and a lot of diners were dining outside (we were inside) but we could not fault the food (good quality and served hot!), the service and the price. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Best fish and chips with a great service. Thank you!

Good for a quick but tasty working lunch Only had the lamb kofta and a sold drink. Would be good if you served Sicilian still lemon drink.

Briliant atmosphere, lovely hosts, huge up!!

Standard City bar, pretty good for large groups. Lots of seating inside and out.

Great service from staff member, casual but attentive and flexible, nice atmosphere and food, only spoilt by music being turned up so loud at about 7.30 that you had to shout to have a conversation.

Food was good, service was a bit patchy. For the most part it was pretty good except for only being brought 7 glasses of water for a table of 8 and having to ask twice for a further glass, and to order dessert we had to resort to going up to the bar as we couldn't get anyone's attention.

Good service and nice specials menu. Good value and reasonable venue for the City.

Handy location to Liverpool Street station. We went for Saturday lunch, so virtually empty, as not during working hours. It therefore lacked a bit of atmosphere, but at least gave us the opportunity to talk. Great, friendly service, but we were one of only two couples in the place (other than a lady being filmed for a dating programme), so would be interesting to see if the service is still as great when busy. We had the vegetarian sharing platter and sausage rolls, which were nice, although a bit too much greasy/fried food. Overall, a good experience.

Great place to meet in the City, would recommend it

Great restaurant, staff were amazing, food was pretty good and value for money, drinks were not good value for money, shame.

Era un día caluroso en ebullición y tuve un rápido ponerse reuniones durante el almuerzo con un colega.

Metimos en viviendo el momento para un rápido almuerzo simple así que tenía unas rondas de gin tonic en vasos grandes, con mucho hielo. Genial!

Organizamos una pelota de verano en Jamie's hace unas pocas semanas. Nos pareció que la noche transcurriera sin problemas y que el personal que se encontraba trabajando era amable y acogedor, así como profesional. La comida era excelente y la variedad y calidad de las bebidas era muy buena. Sin duda volveremos a Jamie's en el futuro, y serán ellos recomendar a nuestros amigos.

I had a salad and a Bloody Mary for lunch. The drink was fine but the salad was mainly bitter chewy leaves. Overpriced.

Como el título sugiere, no es el mejor comienzo para una noche, llegamos a 725 por un 730, mesa no estaba lista, así que nos dirigieron al bar. Otras 2 parejas en el bar ya espera para ser atendido, después de 10 minutos el primer par de tripas corazón recibido cócteles que lo habían pedido y luego sentado, el segundo par no. En ningún momento el hombre del bar hacen que cualquier contacto con nosotros o la otra pareja esperando a ser servidos o nosotros. Finalmente nos sentamos.

Went there with few friends to celebrate her birthday, and we wanted something simple. The food was good, but expensive compare to quality and quantity of the dishes. So far, another place where you can go if don't expect nothing above normal..

Thank you Jamie on our visit to London, your restaurant/diner we found to be great value,excellent healthy choices, and staff brilliant. Very down to earth .

We managed to get a late table for two for a business lunch. The food and service was excellent. The atmosphere is laid-back but perfect for an informal lunch or something more formal. The menu is varied and extensive and I highly recommend this place.

"A quick lunch before the Museum of London - food surprisingly good with good service too"

Bueno esperando en el personal, la ubicación es excelente, pero las mesas estaban pegajosos y la comida estaba bien por debajo de la media, sobre todo porque la cocina cerraba a las 7.30 ! no es el Jamie experiencia esperábamos - y no la calidad que cabe esperar de un bar en una ubicación de primera. I no volveremos.

Very accompanying for my kids, they want a pesto pasta, they made this especially for us. Great service and great food.

Dropped by for lunch and was surprised to find the establishment largely empty but then I remembered that bankers don't lunch. I guess it's busy in the evenings. We shared the Mediterranean platter which was beautifully presented and quite delicious which we accompanied with a very reasonably priced white wine. I'd happily return.

I was asked "would you like some water" ?, and ended up paying for an expensive bottle. Perhaps I'm too used to eating in France ! . I object to the compulsory service charge also. The tagliatelli boulognaise was OK but not special . Staff pleasant . I USED THE THREADNEEDLE STREET BRANCH but couldn't find it on here . I guess they are all the same formula .

Always a fun night at Jamies. The platters are really nice (although a tad pricey for the amount you get) but that is made up by the 2 for 1 cocktails every single night until around 9pm.The music is a really good mix in there too. Also has a lovely outdoor seating area, some parts heated and covered, some parts not.Service can be a bit slow but it is in the heart of the city and very busy!

Went with friends for supper and was not disappointed. Informal but great attentive service. Thoroughly recommend it if you like a buzzy atmosphere.

Ahh, this place is just amazing. A must visit for family, business, foodies and couples.Great staff and super food.

I went to Jamies a few times last week for drinks (it was a long week). The bar staff are always helpful and bring drinks over and chatty. Im sure I will be back this week. Nice drinking venue especially if you need to get a train from Liverpool Street station after, its only a minutes walk away.The only down sides are drinks are tad expensive but your in the city so to a degree its expected.

I booked this venue for a private function on a Saturday. Diana the manager and her team looked after us beautifully. They couldn't have been more accomadating or friendly.Thank you for making our event feel so relaxed and special. I would recommend this venue highly for any special occasion.

After work drinks and we visited Jamies for the first time. The service at the bar was superb. Fast, professional and friendly. The cocktails were amazing and the prices pretty cheap due to the happy hour offer. Will definitely visit again.

To be honest some of the dishes were overpriced and too small, however they made up for this with the excellent service, the buzz of the place and the lively bar where we had a few drinks first. I will return to sample more of the menu.

A group of 14 of us went for lunch here today. It was very disappointing 1) No sparkling water (could one of the staff have nipped to Tesco to buy some??)2) Steak (meant to be well-done) was cremated (REORDERED and cremated again)3) A medium steak was ordered and arrived well-done.4) Salmon, which was meant to be char-grilled had no hint of char-grill flavour and was in fact so dry that it wasn't enjoyable to eat - accompanied by over-cooked new potatoes. 5) 4 people ordered brownies - only 3 available! The food overall was very disappointing. We won't be returning again.

I went to this restaurant for a team lunch, a party of 14 people. Once my manager made the reservation we were sent a menu to choose food from to 'save time'. On the say of our reservation we were asked to choose from another menu as they have 'changed' the menu. Some of my colleagues were disappointed as they couldn't have what they actually wanted. Nevertheless, we all chose from the new menu. Choosing the drinks- they RAN OUT of sparkling water. They also RAN OUT of beef strips, which was on the new menu so my colleague had to order something else. fine.I had coconut shrimp for my starter which was tasteless! spicy pineapple salad that came with it was good. For my mains, I chose the ribeye steak (WELL DONE) with mashed potato instead of the regular chips. I got a burnt steak instead. I gave it back and 20 minutes later, after everyone had finished their lunch, another burnt steak on my plate. This time it was even worse- it was so hard it hurt my throat to swallow it. Needless to say I didn't finish it and had as good as to no lunch. The mashed potato was disgusting, it didn't taste fresh. All my colleagues were disappointed with their food as well.Then to the dessert. Some ordered brownies, some cheesecakes etc. Well guess what, they only had 3 brownies and 4 of us ordered it. They RAN OUT of brownies. How can a restaurant with JAMIE OLIVER's name on it get everything wrong! Overall a very bad experience and none of us will ever be going back. Everyone involved with this restaurant should be ashamed.

I tend to judge the cleanliness of a place by its toilets. The 'facilities' reflect on both the patrons and staff. As you will see from my pictures they're pretty grimm at 7pm on a Tuesday - they didn't get better (or cleaned) as the night went on. I wouldn't dream of having a meal or bringing clients here - but it's 'ok' for a quick over priced beer after work.

We stopped here for drinks before dining out Thursday, we decided to have our drinks outside. The prices were ridiculous, I know it is London with a captive audience, but if one of the waitresses wandering around outside gets you drinks they add 12.5% t the cost. Plus the you don't get a full pint !!We sent drinks back twice to have the glasses topped up properly. Definitely not worth the extra pricing for what you get, go to the bar and get your own drinks...

Nice space outside, where myself and a friend were serenaded by a couple of City boys a little worse for ware, but actually quite sweet and totally harmless!

Hi folks once again a review of this fantastic place to me few minuets walk from Liverpool street station. I went there yesterday afternoon app 5.10 pm after leaving the train from Southend on sea taking 1 hour, it has lots on the train like school children going home plus commuters. That was my 2nd visit, please excuse this as I have cross dressed lots not this time only put nail vanish on which the staff enjoyed little bit later I asked staff could I put some lipstick on they said by all means do so if that makes you happy. Jamies is only open Monday to Friday, the house Las Condes Merlot red bottle costs £20.50 but they take £4.50 off After work perks costing just £16.00 which for me being male and just short of 65 years old is good my brother who has power of attorney since having nervous brake down 15 years ago. He allows me money to my bank. Best Regards Trevor

Went for a leaving lunch. On arrival we were given a standing area and not a table and told we could only eat platters. We chose to go outside so we could actually sit down. They did not offer us the heaters even t hough it was quite cold. They wouldnt let us order burgers - just platters or sandiwches.The platters are pretty poor to be honest - not much choice and pretty small.I never post bad reviews (if you check all my reviews are good) but the service here was shocking.

It's clean, atmospheric and noisy from to many "Hooray Henry's". Certainly not a place to take one's family nor is it a place to relax over an enjoyable meal. Service is good, staff are attentive and the fish and chips well presented; superb batter, thin and crispy but not so sure about the quality of the fish, seemed to be a bit stale, but overall, it was ok and my rule of thumb is, could I taste it an hour later and I could not, which for me suggests it wasn't greasy. Would I return, yes I would, there's just something demanding about the place that's pretty enjoyable.

Bit of a local when working in London - but this will be last visit for food.We took advantage of a spanish tapas - told that there was plenty of food for 4 people, so with 3 of us we'd have sufficient for lunch. 8 meatballs, bit of crusty bread, some prawns, cheese and parma ham for £22 - not good value and not sufficient!Didn't seem very busy but we still had to keep trying to attract attention of staff for more drinks etc (one time they completely forgot our order).In the past -Jamies has been OK but they'll need to raise their game if want to keep customers

Visited for Dinner with client. Not enough staff (Monday night) waited too long to be acknowledged and so we left. Great pity as we were looking forward to some food and wine.The door would not close on its own and so kept being left open.These chains do not work and lack management let alone front of house.

This is a lovely venue to catch up with colleagues and friends for after work drinks. Atmosphere is friendly and lively at the same time. they have some nice after perks and also serve nice food to enjoy with your drinks.

I've been in a few Jamie's and always loved the food and atmosphere. Not here. Didn't even feel like a Jamie's menu at lunch time. Very average fish and chips. Drab surroundings which look tired. Wouldn't go back.

The food is delicious. Especially the risottos are worth a try, although I am not a big fan of risottos in general. But it is quite expensive, so not an every day lunch spot.

This place tends to be busy and can be noisy but food is good in both quality and quantity and prices are fair. Not a place to go for a quiet meal or drink but somewhere I regularly enjoy whether just for a drink or food.

Have eaten here a couple of times now, both the food & service have been excellent, went for the burger first time & it was wonderful,then on my second visit had the Lamb shank which was even better! The staff are vey helpful & attentive and the manager greeted us on arrival & couldn't do enough to make sure we were ok. Prices were very resonable for the location and it is situated in a great spot on Bishopsgate close to Liverpool St.Pay Jamies a visit!Mick Haynes

Went with wife for a quick lunch. Venue over the road from office so quick to get to. We're seated quickly at tall tables with stools. Both had large orange juice with lemonade plus a burger with trimmings. Burger really tasty with crispy fries. Worth the money. Comparable prices to similar restaurants for both food and drink

Top place for a night out after work for drinks, food and good music. The staff are super friendly and there's plenty of space inside and out. Definitely going back.

I have been coming to Jamies for months now and it is by far the best bar/restaurant in the Bishopgate area. I frequently bring clients, colleagues and friends to this venue. The customer service from the manager and staff team is second to none and they have the ability to provide excellent customer service whilst not encroaching on your time. I would recommend this venue to anyone without hesitation.

I have been visiting Jamies Bar for quite some time now and it is the staff who make for an amazing experience. The bar has everything you need and the food is excellent. You feel welcomed immediately and the ambience is second to none. When asked for somewhere to recommend, Jamies is the first and only place that I pass on. Overall it is by far the best bar in the city.

I have been using this restaurant for some time now and have been made to feel welcome on every visit. The large area outside is a bonus, it's helped to make many warm summer evenings longer than they should have been.

I visit Jamies every time i am in the city. So far all the experiences have been amazing. The staff are very friendly and attentive, great location and very affordable drink offers. The offer of 2 for 1 cocktails all night is just superb. I will definitely return again.

Spent my 25th birthday there and must say the staff made me feel very special! I work locally and will definitely be back in!

We were looking for somewhere in the sun to share a bottle wine when we found Jamies with it's wonderful terrace. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we spent a very enjoyable afternoon in a lively bar along with many people doing the same. I have subsequently been back on many occasions and always found it a vibrant popular bar both at lunchtime and during the evening.

Great staff, great atmosphere and an even greater selection of food and drink. There are weekly offers on drink and food and the bar staff will happily make you a drink that isn't on the menu. I had a great laugh with the bar staff and the venue is beautiful without being too poncy!

Started drinking here over the summer and have now made it my local, partly becaue the atmosphere is always great, but also for the excellent, friendly service. A big plus is the "at seat" service, which means no need to queue at the bar, unless you choose to. Decided to give the lunch menu a try last week and was not disappointed. The meal was very well presented and the quality was at a level well above pub fare.This place is always difficult to leave, especially after a bottle of red.

I had a staff lunch in there today. The restaurant has such character, so was hoping for the food to match. No! First off the service was very poor! We waited 20 minutes for our drinks, even then they got them wrong. I ordered the pie and mash...I was not impressed with what came out of the kitchen and on to my table. The pastry was cooked to death and turn to dust as soon as you touched it. The gravy in the pie was from a packet with a dash of wine and vinegar added for flavour. The meat was tender though, the veg was unseasoned and the mash tasted as if it had been reheated in the microwave. Then there was the toilets....mouldy mastic around the sinks is never good! And some of the steps on one of the spiral staircases were lose. This restaurant could be an absolute winner with the right people behind it

I love this one, the building is incredible! Food is amazing as always is with Jamies, this one is in a very convenient location. Service impeccable! I come here again and again :)

don't bother.Cold food, slow service, waste of timeNeed to make this more than 100 words so I reiterate:don't bother.Cold food, slow service, waste of time

Waited 90 minutes for terrible, cold food. Missing half the ingredients that were mentioned on the menu. Medium rare steaks that were cold and raw, cold salmon, missing fish and chips. Staff were enthusiastic but under skilled and no one in the whole place seemed happy. Avoid at all costs, don't even consider if you have a voucher for free food. Major fail.

Had a business lunch here, place is nice enough, but nothing really to distinguish it. Service was slightly funky, as in raised eyebrows when we asked for cutlery with our burgers and chips (oh how we laughed), and slight lack of attention when we failed to order quickly enough, probably works if you're 18 and slightly in awe of waiters, but a bit grating for two middle aged businessmen.Some food wasn't available, waiter did offer some other choices, but is Cous-cous such a rarity that you can't pop down the supermarket and buy a packet if you think you are running out?Food itself was OK, thick and juicy burgers and chips, but lack much in the way of flavour, and the condiments tasted washed out.All in all not a great experience.

Popped into Jamie's around 4.30pm on a Thursday and have to say that the music was so loud, it was uncomfortable to speak, as we basically had to shout to carry out a conversation. Some years ago, I really enjoyed Jamies, but it's 'well up itself ' these days. Shame.

Good place to pop into for a quick pint or two whilst waiting for a train. Better than some of the other offerings at Liverpool Street station. Service is quick and attentive, it's normally very busy inside but there's a nice outside area which is usually quieter. Only downside is that it's maybe a little more expensive than similar bars in the area and the selection of bottled beers and ciders is not very extensive.

I booked a table for a dinner on Christmas Eve with 3 days in advance. I called the restaurant to confirm the booking and they told me that everything was ok.On Christmas Eve while I was working I recieved a missed call from the restaurant and when I called they told me that they close that day without giving me any reasons, the man on the phone told me "we close because we close".As you see there is a lack of professionalism and a very poor customer service.

Stopped for a drink after a spa day before going home, plenty of outdoor seating when we arrived at 4.30 - too early for happy hour so had a glass of prosecco until we could order a bottle at 5. Great service & when 5 came the waitress bought over our bottle without prompting. The placed filled to overflowing giving it a great atmosphere. Noticed someones food & asked for the same for us - tempura veg, chicken skewers, lamb kebabs, calamari & dips - delicious. All that for £44 in the centre of London, most impressed.

Visited Jamies last week and must say, it was one of the best meals we had. We didn't make a reservation, still manage to get a table on the terrace on sunny day The service was really good, efficient and just spot on. I have tried the Cajun Salmon fillet, which was really tasty my friend had the Halloumi which was also very tasty. Will definitely return and would recommend

Absolutely terrible from beginning to end. Arrived and were completely ignored by staff. I had to go up to the bar and lean over to get someone's attention. The room itself was dingy, dirty and dark with dead flowers on the bar. The table was dirty and sticky and when someone finally came to take our order they didn't wipe it. We were given one menu between the four of us and were greeted in a very unwelcoming manner as though they would rather we were not there. After making our orders the waitress returned to say they only had one portion of Halloumi and couldn't do two - there were no other vegetarian options so we had to leave. Probably the best decision! I also had huge problems trying to use my Gourmet Society discount card here despite them saying on their website that they accept it. The worst restaurant /wine bar I have ever been to, Jamie should be ashamed of himself!

Had lunch, but staff needed training, we were hoping they were all on their first day, but too much of a coincidence. Took a while to get a waiter, the wine came but we had to taste and pour ourselves, some of the meals were heavily sauced and the risotto with prawns had one small one. Certainly wont return. Service fee added but not warranted by delivery

We ate on a Thursday lunchtime. Even though the sun was shining we were able to sit outside. This is the main selling point for me as there are so few places in the City where you can do this. The menu is fairly simple but our salads were tasty.Service was good. Prices in line with City expectations but not excessive. Great to enjoy the fresh air and sun (well as much as city air can be fresh).

I have eaten here before and returned to enjoy another very good Italian dinner. Upstairs eating is quieter but that is not to say downstairs with a little more noise is not enjoyable either. The service is consistently good and the food good quality and good size portions. The wine list is pretty good.

I have visited Jamies on Thursday last week with a group of friends for after work drinks. All I can say about the experience that it was amazing. We had sat outside and did not have to go to order drinks once. Table service was excellent. To our surprise Jamies had a DJ on and once the weather got colder we moved inside and the atmosphere was brilliant. I will definitely be going back.

Lovely lunchtime drinks and food. Always great staff and atmosphere. The Pinot noir is amazing. Work around the corner so visit too much!

Had an hour to spare before I boarded my train at Liverpool St station - wanted a simple Ceasar Salad and glass of cold Savignon Blanc - this was the place - posh yet not over stated - not expensive but great service.

I don't understand the previous reviews. We went for a business lunch, totally unplanned. The service was a bit slow - well more relaxed! The food was really good and I had a great (large) glass of white wine. The price was fairly reasonable and the staff were friendly without being overpowering. I would certainly go back should the opportunity arise.

I have just returned from London after what should have been a nice memorable meal with my colleagues. Instead, I have just got home to Staffordshire furious that I have just dined in such an awful restaurant! Jamie and the management team should be ashamed.For context... Our table was booked for 2:15pm on 29 November - a Thursday afternoon! We ordered their 3 course set festive lunch which set us back £30 a head with a "free" glass of prosecco each for booking early. The booking process itself was quite seamless, our food choices were e-mailed in and they even seemed quite accommodating with a lactose intolerance order.The actual dining experience was as far removed from the service we'd received at the booking stage... It literally felt like we'd been lured in....On arrival, we were promptly shown to our table and prosecco was brought over... The table was made up of two 4 seater rectangular tables with a 2 seater square table sandwiched in the middle... This might seem like a small matter but the joining of the tables were uneven Which meant the persons sitting either side of that join we're eating their dinner off a seesaw plate! Why do restaurants not check these little things, it's just common sense! The fact that one of our party nearly had a glass of prosecco poured over him because the waitress placed the glass on the uneven join should have been enough for them to realise this was not good!I will give them credit for the swift service of the starters, but worth mentioning that we'd yet been asked about any drinks! On finishing our starters, we asked about ordering some drinks, the waitress (who I can only describe as rude, unhelpful and quite frankly not doing her job) snapped at up and said "I'm clearing your plates, I'll do it after" she cleared our plates but didn't return.Moving onto the main - still drink less at this point apart from the one glass of free prosecco... A few of our group had ordered steak... Despite the pre-order, no one asked how individuals wanted their steak cooking... Instead, they all came out medium! We asked again to order some drinks and finally, a different waitress appeared to take our order...The drinks arrived after most people had finished their mains... And to add salt to the wounds, they decided to bring out one plate of chips and a plate a roast potatoes! How ridiculous! I mean, if you're going to be pretentious and bring out the veg and potatoes/chips separately, at least bring them out at the same time as the mains! Furthermore, when the drinks arrived, we asked where the water was (which we'd ordered with the wine and other drinks) and to my absolute astonishment, the waitress snapped at us with the response of "did you order it?" "it's not come through on the order!" Forgive me here... Surely I cannot be the only individual who thinks the correct appropriate response SHOULD have been "I'll just fetch it - sorry". Aside from the fact we had actually ordered it, we'd asked for a couple of jugs of iced tap water for the table, was it that unusual for someone to order water? Despite being a table of 10... they bought one jug! Apart from the service... I can't really say the quality of food was all that better. The taste was mediocre and lacked the va va voom, that Jamie usually exhumes... It lacked juiciness.I'll give the restaurant some credit for the starter... I had the smoked salmon served with a salad and pickled chunks of beetroot. The salmon was more like sashimi which was great in my opinion as I love sashimi - thick slices of salmon! Little did I know this was the best part of the meal...I had the steak for main with some boiled potatoes, carrots and parsnips - plain would be an overstatement of what I actually had. The steak was cooked how I liked - medium - I was just lucky as they didn't ask, but it was tasteless. The desert of Christmas pudding was far too sticky and dry... It looked like it had been over steamed and compressed that it was like eating a block of treacle fudge.As for catering for specific dietary requirements, the pre-booking customer service was fabulous, though I doubt very much whether the kitchen or the waiting staff understood what the special order was for, and only realised there were specific plates for the individual, when that individual asked. Thankfully, their requirement it just an intolerance but anyone with severe allergies I would struggle to be confident with this restaurant and it's staff.Maybe they should just stick to what it says above the door... Wine bar! Dispense with serving food and just do drinks. I strongly recommend anyone with any sense to steer well clear.Overall, severely disappointed. I've dined at Jamie's Italian in Birmingham and that was fabulous, but this one... Poor, poor, poor!

The only good thing about the place is the location.A group of us turned up late on a weeknight after visiting a friend in hospital, looking to have one drink before going our separate ways.The bar staff continued to chat and joke amongst themselves despite 5 of us waiting at the bar and they were really arrogant when they eventually served us. My friend ordered me a glass of wine while i went to find a table - they gave him the wrong one, but refused to replace it when I brought it back. We'd all had a horrendous day, and this just topped it off.All of us are City workers but were in relatively casual wear following our hospital trip. It definitely felt like the bar staff treated us differently to the people dressed in work wear.I certainly will not be going back to that branch again, and I wont be recommending it to any of my friends who work nr Bishopsgate - many of whom who are looking to organise big corporate events in the future. What a shame.

Dined here for a team lunch with an outside table. General experience was fine - although road is v v v noisy so bit like dining on a motorway. The service was a bit patchy (mistakes / quite slow) but food for all 8 of us was ok. Not as bad as previous reviews but not the greatest...
