The Anthologist in City of London, Westminster

One of the worst tastless foods I have ever tried. Honestly.

Had a great time with a group of friends at Fat Tony’s full fat brunch. Really fun & well organised event and the food and drinks all good and served with a smile by Hannah 😁

Reliably good service at The Anthologist with an excellent food menu and wine list. Super service from Hannah on our spontaneous lunch visit on 20 January.

Shout out to Diana who looked after the birthday crew! Thank you for making it a memorable Sunday afternoon x

The GG was an amazing host. He made us feel welcome from the time we arrived. I could not have asked for a better experience in this bar/restaurant.

Seems quite antisocial to me. Very loud music with really heavy bass booming. If it was soundproofed better I would have zero issue but you can hear it well down the street. Nuisance

Overall we had a great time. Food was very nice and atmosphere just right.

Great food, and great service from The GG

The G G has been done his service absolutely great today!

Really enjoyable meal The GG was really good

Brilliant restaurant, greta food and fantastic service. The GG

The GG was a great waiter Very pleasant and very attentive. He made us very welcome and took great care of us.

Jordan and his cucumber story made our afternoon. Food wasn’t so good but Jordan deserves a pay rise.

Excellent bites for a cocktail party! Lots of space for guests to move around, comfy seating.

It’s our place where to go after a long day at work. Staff are friendly and the place is super cozy. Ladies toilets are so fancy for ideal for pictures.

Preng is an absolute gent!! Great service with a smile and hugely helpful when I had to email in because I forgot something. We will be back!

I went to your Gresham street branch on a Tuesday night with 2 of my friends. There were barely any people in the venue! We got our first round quite fast. When I went to order our second, I ordered 2 Asahi and a double Baileys. When the bartender free poured my drink I asked him if it is a double and he said yes, to which I asked him if it is a 100ml or 50ml, as usually Baileys is served as 50ml for single and 100ml for a double! Another bartender said double is always 50ml and has never heard of it being 100ml. I asked him to check with his manager and he said "I will only check because I am curious" which was weird but ok.... after checking with the manager, he said it's 50ml, to which I said it's fine and was about to pay. The first bartender then laughed in my face (not a giggle) a full blown belly laugh, to which after told "no need to laugh about it" he said " it's ok, it's ok... no worries"! I have managed bars for 10 years and this is the first time anyone has laughed in my face, especially when not knowing standered serve for bevarages... Manageress was alright... came ready for an argument however still listened and tried to sort the situation! Overall, was an alwful experience and I left slightly after, as I wasn't feeling like drinking in this environment.

Thank you to everyone at The Anthologist for making our team lunch a really enjoyable event. Food, service and setting were all fabulous. Hope to see you again in the not too distant future.

Really love the atmosphere in this place.

First time dining, overall an excellent experience and Jen was incredibly friendly 🙂

The overall experience was good but my Guest, who arrived a little before me, was told my confirmed reservation could not be found which was embarrassing for me. I registered my disappointment on arrival & did get an apology.

Excellent food and service. Hannah was especially great in attending to everyone's food needs and was very patient and quick. Thanks!

We attended The Motown Brunch 28/12/24 and saw the Baby Grand Collective Gospel Band. A great afternoon and thanks to all involved.

Came here for after work drinks had a private area. Nice Venue DJ could’ve been better. Did get a bottle of kraken though and enjoyed that. It’s just another city bar which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but don’t expect anything special and that’s okay.

Hannah was amazing great host for us and really amazing looked after us well and helped with the drinks choices

Diana was an amazing person and we had the most amazing time 💕

Taima was a legend - great service

Taima was amazing - absolutely made the night - food was good, service was 11/10

Julia was an incredible support for our company event!

Great food, better service - thank you Taima

Great place for a group xmas meal. Taima made us feel very welcome!

I was hugely disappointed with the food quality and taste; both the starters and desserts were mediocre.

We recently hosted our corporate Christmas party at The Anthologist, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm, festive, and perfectly suited to the holiday season. The venue itself is stunning, with a modern yet cozy atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home. A special shoutout to Robbie and the entire team, who went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the event ran smoothly. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly demeanour were exceptional. Speaking of food and drinks—wow! The menu was delicious and creatively crafted, with something for everyone. The cocktails were a particular highlight, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every aspect of the dining experience. All in all, our Christmas party was an evening to remember, and much of that is thanks to The Anthologist and their incredible team. We highly recommend this venue for any corporate event or celebration, especially during the holiday season. Thank you, Robbie, and the team, for making our event so special!

Julia and her colleagues provided excellent service for our Christmas lunch! Recommend!

It’s not easy doing Christmas lunch for a group of 40, but Taima took care of us so well. Always attentive and ensuring we were happy with lunch. You’re in good hands! 🙌

We had our work xmas do last night, and Gigi our host was incredibly attentive and kind. Great service from him.

Had a great work lunch here and our waitress Jen was fantastic. Polite, friendly attentive and fun.

GG did an amazing job looking after us for our year end celebration. Lovely food, great private room and fantastic service.

I went to their gospel brunch. Brilliant entertainment, bad service (because they packed too many people in and not enough staff), food was AWFUL. Inedible. Wouldn’t go back to this venue.

Great food Excellent service Great Vibe

GG was absolutely brilliant - looked after us really well. Thank you!

Taima was so great! Made Thanksgiving away from home wonderful.

Great restaurant in the heart of London near Bank station. Grear location for a catch with friends for a meal, business meeting or just hanging out in the city

Nice restaurant & pub in the city. Jen was an amazing waitress. ✨

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Our waiter Jen was super nice and helpful!

It was an amazing experience in DJ Fat Toni event last Saturday for me and my friends.Food quality was normal.Bar service was just brilliant.Behind the bar, Srizon served us like 8 different cocktails and spirits in a short time .I must say he is one of the quickest bartenders I have ever seen and cocktails were so perfect. He was very cheerful and energetic with us , loved this guy .Atmosphere was alright, would love to come again soon.

Taima our server was sooo kind and inviting showing us pictures of “crumpets” (we are from NYC) and explaining black pudding. She certainly made our first breakfast in London a wonderful memory along with the outstanding food and quaint, magical Christmas atmosphere here. Highly recommend. Certainly a treasure! 😊❤️☮️

Me and my grandma were in Antologist I would like to note that GG was very gentle and polite with us in communication, for the first time I see such an erudite and versatile person in such a field, as a person who has been in this business for many years, I was pleasantly surprised by the manner of behavior and communication of the young person, he seemed interesting to me, but very shy, it was very tasty, but the service was tastier than the menu

Taima was excellent! Great service, food and atmosphere. Thank you, will be back!

Taima was wonderful and even remembered us from a previous visit. Quick, knowledgeable and cheerful. Food and wine lovely and served quickly too

GG was excellent, lovely food. Recommend

Excellent food and service by GG

Quiet Monday evening, but the festive ambience was lovely. GG was an attentive server - we had a great meal!

Frequently take my team here for lunch. Excellent service by Jen. Pretty reliable. Lost a star because schnitzel was tough otherwise very good.

He was awesome today. Regularly checked in with us. Thanks.

Met a friend for lunch, great atmosphere, tasty food (Goan Curry) and fantastic friendly service from Taima

Amazing food and top quality service. GG was very attentive and ensured a fantastic experience. Would recommend to anybody looking at coming here!

Just had drinks was overall nice place

GG was amazing, very reactive and he helped us a lot with our cocktail choice ! I strongly recommend

Attentive, polite and just on it.

Absolutely criminal to be charging 12.5% service charge when you walk up to the bar to order food, no table service, I walked up to the bar and gave the waiter my order. I only found out as I asked for a receipt and saw this on there. So if I didn’t ask for a receipt would I have been informed that this service charge would have applied? It feels criminal what they are doing, and absolutely sneaky behaviour. Poor form Drake and Morgan.

GG was a great host and we had an enjoyable lunch as always.

GG is the man. Great service with a smile and humour.

Had a fabulous evening with great service from GG. Great food.

Food was not bad but I must say the dining environment and service are really good. Hats off to GG

Fantastic evening out, we had a puppy with us and were looked after very well - special thanks to Diana whose service was absolutely stunning 💖

Really lovely place, decor was fabulous and the food very tasty. Taima looked after us brilliantly even when there was some confusion over if buckwheat was gluten free with complete professionalism and calmness which was great, thank you! (turns out it is gluten free, we all learnt something!) would definitely recommend if you are around that area of London.

Taima was fantastic, super friendly, attentive and kind. The food was great and we were recommended the duck salad which was great!!

What a great find. We stumbled in here and fortunately were taken care of by Taima. She was friendly, efficient and went above and beyond! Thank you.

Went over for a gospel Mowtown brunch on Sunday and the entertainment was superb. Didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with the entertainment and atmosphere . The food was a let down though. I had a cheeseburger that was quite boring. The bun was so dry that crumbled when I tried to cut it. My friend had fish and chips and said it was just okay. The chips were nice. Service was fine. We didn’t have to wait long for the food and our waiter was as friendly .

Excellent service from GG with some great food! Would happily come again!

Beautiful place, great food, our waiter GG was truly wonderful and welcoming

Had a really nice evening. Our host GG was amazing and really took care of us

Taima was very attentive. The food was delicious

Love the restaurant and ambience/setting of this restaurant and the service is great. The value is decent as well. I’m just not sure the chicken burger was as good as I would have expected it to be hence why nit 5 stars. I will still go again though.

Taima was our server and she was perfect - thanks so much!

Gigi was incredible and the food was fantastic!

Gigi waa amazing! Would come back again and again!

Great vibe and good food. The waiter Gigi was brilliant. Anything I needed he sorted straight away!

Love this place, come here on every trip. Reasonably priced and a broad enough menu to suit anyone. GG was a great server!

Gigi the man, best service, best drinks, best venue for drinks

We stopped here for lunch. The staff were really welcoming and the Goan curry was great.

Jen was an awesome waitress! Great service, great food. Couldn't fault

Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! And thank you to GG for the great and friendly service!

Elle was wonderful. Experience and food were fantastic

Attended the Gospel Mowtown Brunch this afternoon with my two great friends! What a great afternoon. Huge thanks to Tom for liking after us with such great care, respect and efficiency. The Collective were just incredible - game me total goosebumps. What an incredible afternoon

Taima, was brilliant and so welcoming and accommodating. Thanks for a lovely breakfast

TAMIRA was an excellent host - kept my breakfast warm whilst i was running late for my meeting - cant recommend enough :)

Taima was fantastic and was very friendly and helpful

GG gave us great service, had a great night

Came to anthologist during lunchtime. Received quick and helpful service from Taima who provided recommendations on the menu which catered to our dietary needs. Would recommend as a speedy yet atmospheric lunch.

Very good location. Had breakfast here for the first time and liked it so much we went back again the next day. The service from Taima was also great!

Cool place, best was service, GG made our night!

Nice food, with attentive service from Taima, would visit again.

Taima was wonderful and recommended the Cod, would return and highly recommend

Taima was excellent and a very friendly host

G. G was amazing. Thanks for your service and help

Great place to go after work with coworkers, great service delicious drinks and GG our server really went above and beyond. Can’t wait to bring one of my friends to his place next time I’m in London.

Great service from Taima this lunchtime ! Good selection of beers and reasonable steak sandwiche

Terrible service - people here are extremely unprofessional and rude. Also you have to pay 12.5% service fee for cocktails for this kind of service. Will never go again.
