I have been here before, but I never reviewed this place. And that is a shame, because it really is a very special restaurant, with a wine list that is magnificent and extensive, with dishes that are a match with the exquisite wines on the stellar wine list. The star of the show is, undoubtedly, the chicken with vin jaune and morels, served with white rice, a memorable dish that has the most addictive sauce you can ever imagine. In anticipation of that, I ordered extra bread, necessary to poach and soak the sauce that accompanied the chicken . As starters, we had the choux bun with chicken liver pate, and the filetto lardato, followed by saucisson and bread and butter. We had an incredibly good white wine that was the perfect match with what we ordered. We finished the meal with the chocolate mousse with prunes soaked in liqueur, the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The service is attentive and warm, the atmosphere is nice, there is nothing I can think of that needs improving. Must go and must book in advance . I really recommend it

What an incredible quaint place this is. Food was really tasty, totally unpretentious whilst also showing a good level of finesse from the chef. The guy serving us was really nice and helpful, able to inform us of options on the menu. They also brought out a free sweet for my girlfriends birthday! Highly recommend, if you can, ask to be seated in the upstairs dinning room for a more exclusive feel to your night! Allow plenty of time after as well as I could sit in there for hours

Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The must-have is the vin jaune chicken and I would highly recommend complimenting it with a glass of vin jaune itself. It’s an oxidized wine that tastes savoury- almost like a dirty martini in wine form. The bread and butter seems simple but the selection of breads was top-notch! Also had the choux bun, chicken liver parfait (delicious!), Guinea fowl (incredible savoury bite!), smoked eel devil egg, and the glazed ox cheek (fall-apart tender!). Service was a bit on the slower side once the restaurant got busy but it was otherwise an excellent time when you have good company around you. Atmosphere was very intimate, dark, and cozy.

Beautiful place, classic. Meal time suits him perfectly. The service is attentive, of course. By recommending they make the choice easier. The food is very good. The only thing, I consider that it is already very out of date that they serve you wine in a separate room. For the same ritual of what the wine is, the honesty of displaying it, opening it and serving it. I think it loses the important essence of the virtuousness of the ritual at the table. The current wine trend is towards the frank, the honest, the simple. The wine service would have to go accordingly. Telling a fantastic story about a passionate producer, showing the label, and then returning with a wine in a decanter, strong story incongruity!

Overall we did enjoy our meal at Noble Rot. Highlights for us was the roasted pumpkin and the duck- both dishes were delicious! Some dishes we ordered did lack in flavour- the tuna tartare and the scallops (slightly rubbery too), hence the 4 stars rather than 5. The service was very friendly and welcoming however, after being shown to our table, we waited at least 25 minutes before being asked our first drinks order. We wouldn’t have minded the wait at all if drinks, even just water, had been offered as soon as we sat down as we did feel forgotten about at first! We also like to pair our dishes with different wines and the long waits made us hold back on doing this as much.

Walking in off the cold bright streets of soho on an autumn afternoon we were instantly engulfed by the warm embrace of a room full of people laughing, consuming and having a great time. When the dining room is full, and every table looks imbibed and convivial you instantly feel safe that you are about to set out on a similar path. And that is exactly what happened. The ‘3 terroirs’ champagne to kick off was a deliciously balanced and zippy starter. We opted for the 2 course set lunch on Wednesday - pork neck and creamed spinach followed by chocolate fondant and ice cream. Everything was cooked just perfectly with a deeply umami pork jus and perfectly rendered fat which went perfectly with the suggested wine pairing. The chocolate fondant was everything we hoped for - warm, comforting, perfectly liquid in the middle and just the right ratio of sweetness to bitterness. The knowledgeable, kind and always on hand staff made the whole experience seamless. Putting so much effort in to lunch service really shines through and we can’t wait to go back!

It has a really great wine selection and decent food. The place can get loud and the tables are far too close together for my taste. After the crowd has had a cpl of drinks, it becomes a challenge to hear yourself think, let alone to have a conversation. Nonetheless, I would visit again if for nothing else, then the wine list.

A menu to make you give up on the diet, service to make you give up on humanity. Each dish was almost rebellious, much like the image that the restaurant presents of itself. But if you get served the wrong drinks, don't get some things that you ordered, and aren't helped to understand the menu, make sure that you rebel, too.

Had dinner at Noble Rot tonight after it being on my list for quite some time. Overall it was a very good experience, though I expected slightly more for the price point. I had a chicken liver choux bun, which was delicious (the choux was perfect contrary to other reviews I’ve seen). I then had the pork and apricot terrine, which I really enjoyed BUT thought one piece of toast was stingy and some mustard or such would have been epic. I then had the tomato butter slip sole, which I could have done without. It wasn’t filleted and easily could have been, saving me work and bones in my mouth. It also needed something as accoutrement to complete the dish. I finished with the ricotta cake with roasted apricots, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Perhaps my biggest complaint was there wasn’t a single portion available of the chicken, which is one of the main reasons I wanted to come. As someone who regularly dines alone and cooks chicken solo for himself, I firmly believe this to be possible and wish it would be considered. The staff was very kind and recommended a lovely Portuguese wine to accompany my food. I would consider coming back but not solo.

I had lunch here today with a friend. The prices are high... but it is central London. I ordered the only vegetarian dish on their menu - gnocchi. This dish was priced at £28. I received 10 pieces of gnocchi for this price. My friend ordered a fish dish and received a reasonable amount of food. I felt 10 gnocchi for £28 was an outrage and pointed this out to the wait staff. They did come back with a larger portion for me and did rectify the situation, but this should never have happened to start with. If you charge £28 for a main you should serve a main sized portion, not the kids size I first received. The food was good, and the staff were friendly, but I will not be returning.

I had high expectations but sadly no cigar. On entering was hit with a wall of heat ground floor level,no ventilation. Thankfully taken to 1st floor with air con. That was the highlight and all downhill thereafter. We ordered food and drinks fairly quickly. The drink arrives swiftly. All good. We then have to wait over an hour for the starter. Which I had to chase and ask for bread as I was starving. No advice or touch base about delay. I had to stop the waiter to chase our order and request bread as we were starving. After making remarks of our disappointment they made sure the mains arrived faster but too late and the damage was done. The starter and main wasn’t exactly amazing either tbh. I only decided to chance this location as their 1st and primary/main restaurant was so good. Not sure I would ever try them again at this price point. My partner overheard an American couple experiencing the same treatment, having heard rave reviews about the other venue but had to book here due to full capacity.

Really good reliable cooking in this small, rather cramped dining room. There is a larger room upstairs which would be more suitable for anyone hard of hearing as it became pretty noisy at one point. However - the service was excellent and the food delicious and we enjoyed a long and leisurely lunch. The chicken in Vin Jaune a particular triumph and the lamb rump was also pretty good, the lamb rare and tender and the sauce rich and silky. There is a very extensive wine list as you would expect. This is a fairly expensive restaurant but where isn't these days even for only half decent food. - and the food here is considerably better than half decent. I will happily return .

Back to @noblerotsoho for dinner tonight but this time at the #soho location for their roast chicken I don’t usually order roast chicken at a restaurant unless there’s something interesting about how it’s been cooked so this was a leap of faith and oh my goodness 🤤 Perfectly cooked chicken with morel mushrooms in a delicious sauce. There’s a reason this is permanently on the menu (there’s a 45min wait tho so order early). Everything else we had was also really good. The crisp choux with the chicken liver parfait left me wishing we hadn’t chosen to share, the hint of horseradish dressing the asparagus was perfect and the pain perdu with spiced ice cream will feature in my dreams tonight. I also loved the dining room at this location. I squeezed through the small front doors to this beautifully traditional and intimate dining room (which got seriously loud as it filled up).

My partner and I have visited many times. Staff are always welcoming and efficient. The interior of this old building is beautifully decorated in deep blue and dark wood. We love the upstairs dining room the most, with its fabulous paintings of Greek Street Old and New where you can spot famous figures of past and present. (They have a whos who guide). The Aesop products in the bathroom delight me, smell amazing and add a touch of luxury. This is obviously a wine focused restaurant but they are not snooty or pretentious in the least. The selection is excellent and we have tried wines here we never would have tasted otherwise as they do exquisite wine by the glass, making it more affordable to try something rare, refined or out of the ordinary. The food is always excellent. The menu changes monthly except for certain dishes which are always retained. There are little plates such as olives, salami etc, then starter size and mains. We always order their superb bread and butter, three different kinds of bread. All excellent and soft rich butter. I'm a sucker for their small plates (starter size) and want to order all of them. We often order several small plates and share, rather than a main as there is so much variety and they are all excellent. The cheese plate is always superb and thoughtfully designed. It is served with thin crackers. Mains are very generous. I'm not a dessert person generally and have only tried the chocolate mousse which was superb, very rich and utterly decadent. So much so I couldn't finish it. I cannot recommend Noble Rot enough for a romantic dinner but I also took my parents here and they loved it. I look forward to visiting Noble Rot again and again.

I’m a big fan of the Lambs Conduit Street one. This one was disappointing. I appreciate this is a wine led place so let me start by saying I couldn’t fault the range of choice etc. I came to have supper with an old school friend and booked for 6pm. Service was really good but the last half hour of the meal was ruined as we were rushed through our dessert and coffee and presented with a bill and told the next guests were waiting and we needed to leave rightaway. For a £200 meal it was an utterly lousy end. I was told the confirmation email said we had 2 hour 15 minute slot. I did not know but, even so, it was a Wednesday night and we should have been told not to bother with dessert as we would be leaving with indigestion!!! Starter - shared a passable mackerel salad. My main - lovely pork chop cooked really well. Dessert - chocolate mousse and a cheese board which was decent cheese but very basic in terms of accompaniments. The food was good but didn’t match the quality of the wine. I felt like a nice meal with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while was rushed and ruined. Won’t return to this one sadly.

The set lunch menu was tasty; the suggested wine was perfect. However, the portions are small.

Delicious meal - loved the sardines, the radish and caviar, the clams, the roast chicken and the sea bass. The wine list is outstanding. We were dining in the private room, which has a lovely ambiance and is quite private. Excellent service by the team. Will be back!

Overall a good experience even though it was pricey. Mixed feelings for the starters: The choux bun was too dry and caused a lot of disappointments. On the other hand, the boudin noir was outstanding ! I continued with a daube of ox cheek that was very satisfying. The polenta did not bring anything to the dish.

We had a brilliant night here for my birthday last night. Stunning service, amazing food and a phenomenally extensive wine list. Even bumped into and had a conversation with Stanley Tucci - a night to remember!! The staff could not have done more for us - attentive, not rushed and very informative on the wine list and menu. Food across the board was delicious. Terrine was meaty and rustic, Daube rich and delicious and pork chop sizeable and very tasty. Yes, it is at the pricier end, but for a memorable evening, I could not recommend it enough! They even gave me a madeleine desert on the house which was the best I have ever tasted.

Great wine list, lovely food and superb service. Visited on a Monday afternoon and the atmosphere was great with almost every table occupied.

Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. 30 pages of wine list, helpful waiter with the selection. Great and inventive food, the chicken sharing plate it their signature for a reason. The venue is a bit shoulder to shoulder, the noise is strong with energy, but not with reverberation. Close and comfortable is probably fair. Staff were some of the best spoken and helpful I have experienced in years. A restaurant to be proud you took your very international American friend to. £50 per head including 1/2 bottle wine and service. Visit. I was delighted.

I had high expectations because of the hype but unfortunately none of the dishes impressed me. We came for a mid week dinner and between the two of us, we had a choux bun with chicken liver parfait each (the bun was hard) and we shared the mussels (the cream sauce was nice), boiled short rib and duck breast with confit leg (meat was dry for both and lacked flavour). The service was friendly and I did get a good red wine recommendation. I might return since they frequently update the menu, but I'm not in a rush.

Excellent restaurant where the Gay Hussar used to be. Very reasonable two-course set lunch menu - £22 - and terrific wine list at OK prices (if you’re careful). Excellent sommelier who gave accurate information to one of our party who herself has worked in the wine trade for many years and is also extremely knowledgeable.

Had a booking for last Friday, travelled a fair distance, to discover the restaurant is currently closed for renovations. Why they've got their reservations open is beyond me and thoroughly disappointing, however went to Motcombs and had a great time.

Food is really average, but prices are high. Stuff is not super friendly. It’s not worth this money! One star just to balance all these great opinions.

Went for a meal here tonight. Have to say we were very disappointed. Service very poor. Starters arrived 20 minutes apart. Head waiter was extremely rude to his female staff. Not quite sure what you get for the annual fee!
