Visited as part of a day wandering around London and after a matinee show in the area. Had a Groupon voucher for set meal costing £35. Several of dishes not available from what was already a small choice menu. Appears long-standing issue of "no chips" was again a problem. By the time you add on a £30 bottle of house wine, supplement on the steak and then service charge you done get much change out of £100. Marked as average only and certainly not somewhere I would return. Nice air con restaurant with music which we liked but fairly empty and soulless.

Had a Wowcher for this restaurant. First booking was cancelled the day before, due to kitchen refurbishment. Second booking, when we arrived ,we were told there was no fish and chips option as the restaurant had no chips! This is what we had come for especially! My friend and I were about to leave but were offered food from the normal menu. This too was disappointing. The starter was a dry salad, no dressing, the main was salmon and clumped together rice, dessert was cheesecake which was not sweet, with a runny type of sauce on top. Before leaving both me and my friend had to make a trip to the toilet! Again I had to visit the toilet again once home. I would not recommend based on my experience 😕

Dined here for a formal occasion. It was very disappointed with the food and service. I had Gammon egg and chips. The Gammon was dry and salty, the chips were soggy and the fried egg was just not freshly cooked - it was rubbery and slimy. To make matters worse they poured a ghastly cheese sauce on it. Who would put cheese sauce on a fried egg? And it made the soggy chips even more soggy. It wasn't cheap, they could have tried.

Tasty sandwiches, small fresh scones and small decorative pastries. Plenty of food served on lovely china, served in the bar as the restaurant had a private function on the day we went. Comfortable, quiet setting. Lovely hotel, short walk from Holborn station and all the hustle and bustle nearby. Would recommend. Also in the bar meals are served - so it would be a quiet place to grab a bite to eat generally.

La primera noche que nuestra habitación no era la mejor, el inodoro dejó de funcionar y el aire acondicionado comenzó a hacer ruidos extraños, así que no podíamos dormir, así que les dijimos a las personas que trabajaban allí que nos dieron una nueva habitación más grande. El personal es muy amable y siempre quiere ayudar.

Steep flight of steps to door; no indication of alternative entrance for wheelchair users. Disabled toilet in basement but lift NOT working! No toilet on ground floor. Red Alarm cord in disabled toilet is too short. I ordered a glass of white wine in bar. Barmaid used a measure to serve the wine, spilled some and did NOT understand that serving short measure is an offence in this country Second attempt to serve the measure also spilled. The person in charge should have told her to either reduce the charge or top up the measure to allow for the loss. I am VERY glad I visited for a meal and had NOT booked a room

Restaurant completely empty on arrival, waited 1 hour for our starters to arrive, prawn cocktail arrived (warm) and the sauce curdled, sent this back, and they said it had been placed under a warmer!!!! l then told them this could very likely cause a problem warming sea food like that, this restaurant is a total dissaster, will never go back, or never reccomend to anyone, they don,t desserve any ones custom.

Don't dine here. We had to wait 40 minutes for a drink. They tried charging my friend £12 for a delivered chicago pizza that costs around £4. Other friend got a raw steak (/rarest steak ever that pretty much was raw) while having to wait 2 hours for it. Another person in our group had to wait 2 hours for some sandwitches, while I waited an hour for my main meal and had to remind them about my dessert >:( close to 3 hours wait. RIP off. And what business on earth only has one chef on work duty during St.Patrick's day?!?! This one

This place was the only choice without any available restaurants on a Friday night in December and I know the reason why they still had a seat. This place is not exactly a brasserie, it is a bar. When we got there, they brought tables from somewhere to fix for us. The sizes and the shapes of the tables were different and they looked somehow weird. The food we went for a pre-fix and very reasonably priced for the area. But they did not have the sauce we wanted for our steak which was a shame. The place itself is nice but again it is not where you eat dinner. The service was a bit slow and not so attentive waiter who was busy chatting with other customers made us feel like we were left out. Anyway there will be a second time to visit there for a dinner for sure.

We missed the breakfast buffet and paid dearly for deciding to eat lunch here. First, it was too late for them to make us breakfast. They did have glutenfree bread but the sandwiches were the most pathetic I have ever seen. Lesson learned -- don't miss your free breakfast buffet.

An inviting place for an evening drink and snack. The wait staff friendly and efficient. The chicken, smoked duck & wild mushroom terrine with sourdough bread was a delicious snack.

Arrived for a Christmas dinner. Firstly, we were sent to the wrong room. When we eventually found the right room, we were seated separately rather than one large group. The room was sparse with no decoration and Christmas dinner wasn't that great. There were no festive touches, not even festive music for the background music!! We had been told before arrival that we would be given a choice of food for dinner but then once seated we were informed it was a set menu with no choice, only a vegetarian option. One of the people in our group is coeliac and they were woefully unprepared to deal with this. The wait staff did not know whether the soup contained gluten and we had to ask 3 different members of staff (one of them twice) before anyone asked the chef. They also brought 2 dishes and gave them to her with gluten-containing ingredients still on the plate. Dessert for her was a fruit salad. They had brought ice cream for somebody at another table but when asked whether we could also have ice cream, we were told no as it's "not included and they can't supply it for everyone". We had to ask about drinks before being offered a drinks menu. We asked if there would be a service charge (we were happy to go to the bar instead) but were told that there would be no service charge but lo and behold! A service charge added to the drinks bill when it came. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend coming here for dinner, especially if you have any dietary requirements.

The "Help Yourself" breakfast had just about anything you could think of to eat and plenty of it, fresh every day. Also the evening dining menu was varied and cooked to perfection.

I went for the afternoon and tea and it was lovely but nothing out of the ordinary.The sandwiches, cakes and tea were all average and it was a nice afternoon spent with friends! The selection of cakes and sandwiches were nice and the Assam tea was very tasty!

Not much more to say than that really. There's nothing too fanciful on the menu but the food that is offered is fresh, well prepared and cooked, and delicious.

Breakfast is quite good in this restaurant, but at the dinner there is no ambiance. The cheese burger was poor and the waiter didn't speak proper Englis (ehich is very often the case in this hotel).

Good choice, tasty food, good value 2- or 3-course set menu (drinks a bit expensive). Only a couple of issues: a risotto with squid came with prawns instead, with no warning or check, fortunately not a problem for us, and a hefty 12.5% discretionary service charge, which in this case, we were happy to pay, given the pleasant service.

Took my wife and daughter for afternoon tea on a groupon deal which was good value. Loads of food plenty of tea only problem was a bitty cream pat in the fruit basket cakes and some of the scariness were going hard. Otherwise excellent service lovely hotel. There are about 10 steps into the hotel but I believe there is a rear access for wheelchair users. Only problem was the place was empty I know they can do nothing about that but that takes away any atmosphere

We had afternoon tea here after purchasing a groupon voucher. The sandwiches, cakes and bubble were delicious and the staff were very attentive. They catered well for a friend who doesn't eat gluten too.We particularly liked how calming the white room was after coming out of the hustle and bustle.

Im Theaterviertel von Holborn schliessen die meisten Restaurants um halb elf Uhr abends, das heisst,, kurz nach zehn Uhr wollen sie keine neuen Gäste mehr. Auch meine Londoner Familie sagt, es sei tatsächlich so. Deshalb waren wir in einer etwas kühlen Juninacht froh, in der Brasserie unseres Hotels noch eine warme Suppe und ein ausgezeichnetes Sandwich zu erhalten, dies ausserdem zu einem fairen Preis.

Standard Thistle menu. Competent but not extraordinary. Staff pleasant and helpful. The room is quite stark and efficient rather than luxurious.

Dishes were at best bland, some actual terrible (the goat cheese and thyme crème brûlée sounded AMAZING but was instead an herby tasting dish of some sour cream/cottage cheese hybrid, blech.

Great food; lovely portions. A little limited on the dinner menu though and a £10 charge on the wine is a little steep even by London standards.

We had a breakfast and evening meal at the hotel which I would definitely recommend and are great value for money as well as being made with fresh and tasty ingredients. Our waitress suggested we swap our dessert choices to her recommendation (I changed my chocolate mousse to a poached plum and sweet potato dish which was fantastic) - they definitely know what they are on about!

Train delayed and so we could not be bothered to go out for evening meal. We had the restaurant entirely to ourselves (Thursday evening) but the waitress/manageress was very friendly and every course of the meal was delicious, as was the wine!

It can be tough to find a quiet place to eat in central London. Most of the restaurants are very, very busy and can be quite noisy. This restaurant, perhaps because it is inside the hotel off the lobby with no direct access to the street, is a quiet oasis. I was there on a Friday evening and there were a small handful of people. But the service was attentive buy not overly so. The menu offers a reasonably wide range of choices, a fish, a pork a beef, etc. Two of three vegetarian choices as well. Small wine list but well chosen. The decor is a bit stark and lacking in warmth but that may be a matter of personal preference. That said, I found the prices a tad high for what remains a hotel restaurant.

Based on the reviews went for Sunday lunch. Mistake, restaurant not open on Sunday lunch, but meals "using the same menu, sir" served in the bar. Well, luke warm food, small portions and big prices. 1 x Fish & Chips, 2 x Gammon, Egg & Chips, 1 x Beefburger, 2 x Cokes, 1 x Mineral water and a tea cost £80! and they got the order wrong so one of the party had to wait for their meal which eventually came after the rest had finished. Only saving grace were very friendly and helpful staff, but value poor and food quality mediocre.

Ordered two pint's of lager and two wines, I was charged £25. Also orderded a pizza which I was charged £13. I think it's a bit overpriced for food and drink. On the plus side it's a stunning hotel inside and the pizza was good! The staff are just fab and can't do enough for you. Take a platinum credit card when your ordering food and drink!!

Si vous cherchez un restaurant a l'ambiance calme et feutree (bien qu'un peu froide) et une nourriture de bonne qualite a prix raisonnable dans ce quartier, voici l'endroit ou aller. En outre le service est super charmant - la serveuse Italienne qui s'est occupee de moi (desole d'avoir oublie son prenom!) ne merite que des eloges pour sa gentillesse. Elle a sauve ma soiree apres que je me sois fait refuser l'acces au restaurant de mon hotel (je logeais au Radisson Bloomsburry tout proche) bien que celui-ci soit a moitie vide.

From the minute we entered the restaurant to a totally lacklustre welcome we could tell it wasn’t going to be the special night out we had envisaged. The waitress really made us feel like we were a total inconvenience. She didn’t smile once during our visit. Without being personal one other member of staff was a very strange individual and very hard to understand. One main course was really disappointing and tasteless but we were afraid to say anything. If it wasn’t for the fact we were using a voucher that was near the expiry we would have left. Sadly we don’t get to meet up very often and left feeling really deflated. Safe to say we won’t be returning.

At first i was sceptical about this place, but gave it a try and didnt dissapoint a single bit. One of the best customer service in London, staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I will come back here the next time i stay in London for sure, fully recommend at least trying it out.

The food was very good. Slow cooked lamb shoulder was delicious and tender. For mushroom risotto I liked it but I wish it had some more flavourful mushrooms in it. For the price, it felt cheaper mushrooms overpowered the dish and made it quite bland. The friend I went with was celiac and unfortunately the waitress wasn’t sure which dishes were GF and which ones weren’t. Thankfully the menu indicated the food which was not GF (the ones that were GF were left blank). This confused us about the desserts as it looked all desserts were GF using the same logic; however it wasn’t the case. Waitress didn’t know it either and first said a dish was GF then said it wasn’t. Unfortunately we had to cancel our dessert order. Other than that it was lovely, I’d visit again.

We went as a group of 9 for a meal. The place wasn't the cleanest but not too much of an issue until we saw a cockroach crawling into the kitchen. We obviously decided not to eat there. Staff were nice and said that they have pest control in often. I guess this is an ongoing issue and I wouldn't recommend anyone eat there for hygiene reasons.
