The Living Room - W1 in City of London, Westminster

The Living Room is located a 2 minutes' walk from Piccadilly station on a quiet street full of terraces that fill up with neighbors when the weather's good. The music is great and the prices are about average for beer, wine and cocktails. The staff is always very friendly and everyone is welcome!

Solía vivir justo enfrente de este café en Pista verde en Soho cuando era una tienda de comestibles deli en los años 1950 tardías. Utilizamos a llamar "la tienda de gato" como muchos gato permitieron que trepar por todas partes las muestras de comida. Sólo Compramos leche desde allí, en los de largo hace días! Pero en estos días es una cafetería moderna con un personal encantador, unos fantásticos sándwiches, pasteles caseros y té refrescante. Es una cafetería de la comunidad, dirigido por voluntarios, y en la planta baja es un estudio y aula acoger talleres, seminarios y eventos. Este es un lugar muy atmosférico en su entorno de la Pista del estrecho Green.

Qué pena que nuestra visita fue; quizás porque era un domingo - ¿quién sabe?

Tuvimos que sentarse fuera a las 6 de la tarde ya que estaba completamente lleno dentro. Sorprendentemente era lo suficientemente caliente, y la vista de toda la actividad de Heddon Street era una ventaja (sobre todo los juerguistas de Halloween!)

Mi primera visita aquí y volveremos cuando en Londres. Nos encantó la cantante de piano en vivo. El bar no era enormemente caro el ambiente estupendo. jóvenes y personas mayores mezclar. El vestido era bastante inteligente de no muchos turistas ... genial. El servicio detrás del bar fantástico incluso cuando estaban ocupados el Batman rápidamente a darme el descuidado en las cervezas ... descubrimos tarde)recomendar.

utilizada me encanta este lugar pero en mi reciente visita me pareció cansados, moda y una urgente necesidad de reforma. Estoy seguro de que la mayoría de los muebles no ha sido cambiado desde la apertura del bar algunos 7 ( ?) hace años. Por favor deshacerse de la incómoda banco escaños y el polvo falsa ivy y enrejado. Y en cuanto a las alfombras paredes en las mujeres ... genial idea innovadora en su día pero tengo que cuestionan su limpieza varios años. Visitamos un jueves a mediodía y el lugar estaba bastante muerto que nunca solía ser el caso. muchos otros lugares para elegir en la zona, pero le encantaría volver una vez tuvimos una muy necesitada reforma.

Fui a este restaurante para almorzar de oficina con 30 personas después de ver los precios razonables para las comidas descritas.

Adoramos o lugar, o ambiente, musica boa, não alta demais. A minha comida por azar não foi das melhores. mas acho que meu pedido foi errado. Pedi um pato que estava um pouco passado demais e a carne endurecida. O ambiente nota 10.

We have had several good meals here, lovely ambience, friendly, helpful staff and good food. I hear it has now been taken over, but please keep it just as it is.

Stumbled across The Living Room. So glad we did Great Restaurant and reasonably priced for Central London

Comodo al centro e ben finito, io ho cenato con burger coca e dolce con 23 pounds, un po caro ma e in centro e ben frequentato. Il burger niente male e anche il dolce al cioccolato era buono

Good food, good service. Love the decor and buzzing atmosphere. Service very good and friendly. We visited with teenagers and adults and all were well catered for.

Wspaniałe miejsce na koktajl (wybrane dni muzyka na żywo przy fortepianie) happy hours od 3 do 7 ( wybrane koktajle/wina/szampany- 2 w cenie 1), fantastyczni barmani,otwarci na sugestie i wszelkie zmiany:), duży plus dla Richarda za świetną obsługę.

I should have known as I walked past busy tables outside the adjacent Momo and Aubaine in Heddon street to find The Living Room deserted that this was a bad choice. But we persevered and requested a table for nine (incl two kids) outside. After being told they don't generally move tables (in an empty restaurant at 1.15pm for a group of nine????) the manager agreed and made us welcome enough.With one busy table inside (albeit after getting drinks served) it took us almost half an hour to get an order placed. When the food arrived two of our dishes were returned. I tried samples of several of the others that remained and they were at best average. My roast monkfish was acceptable in itself once rescued form a pool of unsubtle soy-sauce and a few steamy and lacklustre veges. No sight of the promised chillis.One to miss; there are too many much better places to eat right nearby. Choose any of them over TLR.

The Living Room has a Web page and it Restaurant has a interesting History. Opening in 2005 in a Old Post office, It ouses rich, classic feel and very creative in it's layout and setting. It has an amazing outdoor area for eating out and is part of a larger area where outdoor dining is made very accesssible and inviting.We came across this place by mistake which was more interesting and fancied a meal before we headed back on train to the Midlands. The Restaurant was empty initially when we arrived at 17.30 but the bar area was being used by the few customers. We were greeted immediately by the door and asked if we had a reservation, as we hadn't we said no but were still made to feel comfortable and were seated in the middle of the restaurant.We ordered after having a bottle of Rose Wine and ordered a few starters to share with Chips- not very creative but we were not too hungry.The waiter who greeted us in the restaurant also was a bit shabby dress wise but friendly enough and allowed us to use our Tastecard without a booking which was appreciated. He was attentive throughout the whole time but forgot our chips until we reminded him.the Restaurant had very well presented Bathroom facilities and were situated away from Restaurant area downstairs. Interesting facilities....The seating is all different so if you like a back to your seat, don't sit near the window as the booths are comfortable to sit on but no backs.Definitiely go back againand try some more of the interesting menu and sample the music which starts later on and moreso at the weekend.If you have enjoyed this review and have found it useful, please helpful vote it!Thank you for reading my review and any comments are alwasy appreciated or questions in regards to this.

Food and portions were great, so can't really complain. However, our waiter spoke to us as if we were a waste of his time. First he came over after we were seated and asked if we had a reservation, even though we already said we did before being seated, and despite the fact the restaurant was nearly empty. The whole experience wasn't welcoming at all and when we asked for the bill and took out the tastecard, he didn't even acknoweldge it. So later when he dropped off the bill, I questioned it as the discount (the calculations were done by hand an so it wasn't very clear ) unlike very other place I've been to with the tastecard, he explained it to me like I was the idiot and it was the most obvious thing in the world. If the service charge wasn't already included in the bill, I would'n't have paid it! I've left feedback at the website, but no response as yet.,

Interesting decor, great atmosphere, wonderful entertainment from the pianist/singer, super food - imaginative menu, presented really well and delicious all round! Service could have been faster but with the entertainment and good wine, it didn't matter. To be thoroughly recommended - a delight for a West End restaurant to give great service and excellent food, without being over formal or a rip off!!! 5 Stars!

Great service, interesting decor, modern beautifully cooked food served hot from the kitchen and quality wine. What's not to like?

Good quality food in a casual dining setting. The waiter was really friendly and very helpful despite the restaurant being very noisy and busy. Food was very tasty. I had a simple burger which was delicious.

Situato nel food discrict a meta' di Regent street, e' una ottima sosta per il pranzo. Personale molto cortese e disponibile, il locale ha una parte dedicata a bar e una a ristorante. Buon cibo, buona atmosfera, prezzi onesti. Bravi!

Booked to go to the ice bar close by so tought we would check out the living room. Food was great and the waiter was very enthusiastic and on top of everything. Very good atmosphere with the neighbouring bars too. Overall was very impressed, would go back!

I had the displeasure of eating here on Friday night, and was completely disappointed. I went there with my wife for my birthday and we started by ordering a bottle of Chablis (the best thing about the experience) and a few picky starters which were pretty tasteless but acceptable then for a main I order a Roast beef sandwich - the beef was some of the worst quality beef ive ever experienced whilst eating out, I called the manager over as I could neither chew it nor cut it with a steak knife and joked that it was be from a very cheap cut of topside - I was very surprised he then confirmed it was topside - they should warn people when they order it you may need a chainsaw! I then spoke further with the manager who quite frankly was massively out of his depth and clearly didn't have any basic knowledge of food or customer service. He said he would send over a steak sandwich instead and with that disappeared - the steak sandwich arrived totally over cooked which wasn't a surprise as the manager never even enquired how I would like my steak cooked! Once the manager disappeared he sent over the assistant manager to try to help us - now the assistant manager was much better at handling conflict and tried to find a solution for us and have to say I felt his actions rescued the "living room" experience.Overall the 2 managers quite clearly need to swop roles and the quality of ingredients used needs to be massively reconsidered.

We've found this restaurant a diamond-in-the-rough of bad British food.Great food, decent service and prices. Love the starters, love the duck and desserts, drinks too.Service can sometimes be hit and miss, but it's usually due to the heavy volumes of guests at this establishment. Don't miss the bathrooms, uniquely decorated. Cool bar too!

Had a late lunch on 6th August. 3 adults and 2 children.Had the set menu 2 courses £12 or 3 for £15 and if u had a bottle of wine with it it cost an extra £10 which I think is good value. Kids meal 2 courses £7. We all enjoyed our meals. The service was a bit slow, they added on service charge. Would go back again.

The Living Room is set in a nice little street with various places to eat and drink. Looks nice, outside seating too and service was very good. Food we had was good (chocolate pave dessert was really tasty). What let this down was the number of items that were not on the menu and this was early in the evening at 6:30, so not after a long day or large number of covers. I couldn't remember was the waiter ran through what wasn't available - he must have a good memory. Even Peroni beer was off menu?!

The setting is great very elegant, however rather noisy with people who go for afterwork drinks.We had a the set menu which provided three or four choices for each course, I had Thai fishcakes which were lovely and flavoursome, then home made vegetarian glenmorgan sausages with lentils which was good but the lentils lacked a depth of flavour which was unfortunately sudstituted for salt. To be honest I wish I had gone for the moules frites instead. It is all the same refreshing to see restaurants branching out into veggie food and it came with a tasty sourcrout cabbage on the side.The puddings were incredible, boyfriend had the sticky toffee pud which was traditional and good as expected, the chocolate pave with peanut crumb and salted caramel icecream was probably the best desert I have ever had. My boyfriend pointed out that it was essentally a snickers which ruined it for me slightly but the taste was wonderful, icecream being the absolute star of the dish. I could have done with two scoops though to finish off the rich and bitter chocolate pave!

We had not booked and were lucky enough to get a table outside on a hot day. The service was very good, even though one waiter forgot to advise the wine waiter of our request for water and a soft drink. This was handled professionally and efficiently. We had the set lunch which was excellent value for money, the food was very good and the service prompt. The set lunch menu also includes a wine offer which is also excellent value for money. Overall a very enjoyable, relaxing lunch. We will definitely return.

I recently went to The Living Room, after being in the same chain in Liverpool & Edinburgh and enjoying my times there. However I went to the W1 chain and was left very disappointed. The service was extremely slow and the waiters didn't seem too keen to be at work. I had the chicken wings for starter which were presented well but and the crispy batter that went with it, just crumbled off when you touched it and the flavours seem to be cooked out of it. My main was a TLR burger which was dry and bland. However I did have some of the 2-1 cocktails and they were nice and well presented and would go back to drink, but I def would not eat there again.

Fantastic food and menu for a group of 6 people that all like different types of food.Service superb and friendly.Sunday Lunch was amazing ;)

Frequently go to this restaurant, very busy on sunny days. Ideally situated just off Regent Street. Staff friendly. Menu in restaurant is varied. Lots of restaurants in Heddon Street I always head to The Living Room.

First time visiting the restaurant and would definitely return. The ambience of the pub / restaurant was superb, the waitress was exceptionall and the food was not only tasy but well presented. Prices were reasonable too. Would definitely return. I usually go to the Living Room in Nottingham, but his was just as good.

Was here on Friday night with my sister and brother in law. As it had been a lovely day and warm there was loads of people drinking outside, and the restaurant had the windows open.Was very big inside, the food was gorgeous.. We had 7 cocktails, 3 starters and 3 main dishes and the bill was only £111Our waiteress was very good and recommended certain dishes.Would definitely return.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Food and service very good. Our desserts were extremely delicious. The best chocolate pave & salted caramel ice cream I have ever tasted! Looking forward to returning. Would happily recommend.

We visited the living room for late lunch, having been to another living room restaurant we wanted to try it.The restaurant is nice inside with an alfresco area, the toilets are quirky which added to its charm.There was a varied menu with lots of unique items avaliable. None of us could complain about the food it was tasty and presented very well at a reasonable price.The staff were also very attentive.

This restaurant chain seems to have grandiose ideas with its menus that it's kitchen cannot match. Food was dreadful from starters to main meal. we had burgers (not cheap) which were so overdone they were dried out and uneatable. The excuse was that they had to cook them through however the use of good quality meat and good cooking should produce food that is a joy to eat. For the starters we both had the chicken with chilli dip. turned out to be chicken wings with little meat. Note: following night we went to Henrys Bar on Piccadilly and they had a similar item on the menu which we both tried and this was chicken breast and was excellent. The service was good and were offered a partial refund but declined and accepted a glass of wine each. No complaints about the service or the atmosphere which were both very good. Live act on the night we were there. Been to 2 other Living rooms in the country and this one let them do. One big favour though to the management company, look at the menu please. This is not Heston's restaurant please call a spade a spade, no need to fancy up the menu. food can still be great without changing to more exotic ingredients.

Food was great, wasn't overpriced considering ot was the centre of London - would definately go back again

Visited for cocktails this time, buy one get one free time, good mix, great venue. I have eaten here on a couple of occasions and the food was very good. The service is excellent and the bar staff are friendly. Great location, fantastic venue and really good atmosphere every time I have visited.

We visited here after the icebar and wished we hadn't. The French Martinis were fab but after ordering the second drink, I waited 15 minutes while the barman flirted with and served other customers. When we chased him, we were told our drinks were coming. The bartender then put Grey Goose vodka in what was meant to be a premium gin cocktail (Route 66). I complained and refused to pay for the drink. Another bartender apologised but I hadn't been served the drink I had ordered and had been ignored for 15 minutes. Poor service, shoddy product knowledge, poor standards. Will not be returning. Avoid.

Visited a while back for my friends engagement dinner. Lovely restaurant. As there was a large group of us we had to pick from the set menu. The steak was just as I wanted it - medium to well done. It remained very tender. Food very filling. This restaurant appeared very busy. Not surprising especially with the location. Prices were not too high. Will definitely be returning again.

A large group of us has an evening meal here. The staff seamed to take an extremity long time to take our order. When placing my order of spring rolls for starter and chicken and mash potato for main. I was informed the spring rolls had a 'summer' feel to them. When our meals finally arrived, half of the group had their order and the other half had to wait. The spring rolls were very disappointing...they were not warm and were tasteless, apart from the mint which was overpowering. When I complained that the spring rolls were bland, I was informed that we had to use the dips provided (one a chilli dip and the other a peanut dip). Needless to say, I was not happy to pay the starter price just to taste the dips. Before the booking we had to pay a £5 deposit. When we came to pay the bill they didn't deduct the deposit and the staff could not find any reference to the deposit paid. There solution was: you will have to pay the full bill and come back with proof of payment. They wouldn't allow us to use their computer to prove that the deposit was paid. The staff were very unhelpful!I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

I went to the Living Room W1 few days ago for dinner with a friend and we have been very pleased with our meal and the service we received. I have been there few times before when they had their previous food menu, and I can say that the new one is very innovative and interesting. The food was very tasty, I would particularly recommend the scallop taster and the "Table BBQ". Staff is very friendly and polite. Also they have great cocktails !

There were 21 of us altogether for a hen party, the meals took forever to come out but once it did half the group weren't happy with theirs. The staff did not care when someone told them the starter was bland. When it came time to pay the bill, which was about £400 roughly, we had each paid £5 deposit a month ago so thought that was going to be knocked off, the manager and bar staff had no recollection of our deposits or where it had gone so rudely dismissed it and told us to pay in full and bring in proof of the payment. They were really rude and i think it couldve been dealt with a bit more professionally so we wont be going any time soon.

Зашли в ресторан случайно, вокруг много итальянских ресторанов и марокканский ресторан, но этот ресторан предлагал английский фьюжен и поэтому сделали выбор в пользу этого заведения! Кухня замечательная, обслуживание быстрое. Очень понравилась утка. Рекомендую!

Had an amazing meal here at lunch time. Service was great, food was really good with lots to choose from. Really nice atmosphere and the cocktails were fantastic!!! Great location in London will be going again!

The main problem seemed to be the new menu. The service was friendly and informative. The ambience very good and the view fantastic. The food was ok, the sliders were good and the chips lovely but the slaw was horrible, really horrible. Our dessert order was wrong and another dessert did not appear (the new menu) we wanted to eat together so finally told them not to bother. I would go back in the hope they have consolidated the menu

I saw the restaurant on Masterchef and thought it would be a wonderful experience. There were probably 6 people in the restaurant, so zero atmosphere at all. On asking the waiter for recommendations the waiter advised that pasta and fish were not the restaurants speciality and therefore wouldn't recommend them. I ordered the prawn starter and it was deep fried with a chilli jam. A Chinese take away would make a better dish. The Pasta dish was ok, but nothing too exciting. When I left I told the waiter that I was disappointed and he said I fully understand, but don't worry we are changing the menu shortly and then the quality of food will improve. My advice avoid this restaurant.

Muy lindo restaurant, para almorzar y cenar Una muy buena barra de tragos y una ambientacion y decoracion increiblesComida muy buena , precios acomodados a lo que es Londres

Avis aux amateurs de rock glam, pour l'anecdote, le restaurant est situé dans la rue où fut prise la photo de l'album "Ziggy Stardust", de Bowie. Serveur (le nôtre était français) très aimable. Fish and ships délicieux, avec de bonnes proportions. Les burgers de volailles ont également été appréciés. En revanche, la salle était assez bruyante, alors que nous n'étions pas beaucoup dans le restaurant. Je n'ose imaginer ce que cela doit donner à l'heure de pointe. Pour le fun : si vous allez aux toilettes, lancer un concours de la personne trouvant le plus rapidement comment s'ouvrent les portes. Ca peut être drôle

Group of 16 colleagues. Tried to book via Top Table but was told not available. I called direct and was booked straight in. Banqueting menus were emailed within minutes and confirmation received. On the night, food was excellent and fast. Waiters were very attentive without being intrusive. Venue has a great buzz and atmosphere.Food was fab!!Will definitely be back ......

Good place to visit early evening. Fine choice of menu. Fine mushroom starter and minute steak or Toulouse sausage. Bar area behind and started music as we were finishing so we weren't bothered. Quick friendly service. In a precinct lane off Regent Street and worth returning to..

I popped into The Living Room on a whim as I was hungry and didn't want to walk all the way back down to Leicester Square. The price is very reasonable especially when you consider it's off Regent Street. I had the pork and chorizo burger and a pint of guinness and my girlfriend had a chicken sandwich. The meals were served quickly, were well presented and tasted great, especially my burger. All in for 3 meals and drinks it was less than £30, fantastic value. The setting is very pleasant and the service was great.

This restaurant is in a very convenient location just off Regent Street. It was a busy Saturday afternoon when we went, we had no reservation but got a table quite easily.There were 4 of us and we all had great food across all 3 courses, the portions aren’t huge but adequate. However what is a big let down about this place was the complacent service, our waiter simply couldn’t be bothered. He was so interested in looking around the place he didn’t give us much eye contact at all, his indifference resulted in two elements of our being wrong. His colleague that helped out on our table was just as bad. They didn't seem to enjoy looking after customers and they made it show.So I would I advise going? Yes for the food but you’ll be gambling whether you’ll have a good experience overall depending on the waiting staff you get. I was a very disappointed diner.

This gem of a restaurant came recommended and I was not disappointed. Located in a quiet courtyard off the busy Regent Street. Booked a table for Sunday Comfort menu. Although the decor is very modern it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. There was live music - a rather grand white piano and singer - who was very good. Had the roast beef meal which was delicious. Will definitely return.

We popped in here on an evening out in the west end. It was very busy when we went in and we asked if there were any tables and was told they would find us when there was one. Very surprisingly they found us within ten minutes and when went on to enjoy a very good steak chips.

Organised a small school reunion of 20 and they were extremely helpful and set aside a raised area by the piano, with 5 bar tables. The waiter was attentive and was great for advising us when the Happy Hour was ending and discreetly organising drinks and nibbles before the cut off time.A most succesful stress free evening. We followed up with dinner just for 6 of us and it was lovely.

Enjoyed a meal here with my husband. The decor and atmosphere make this a great place for pre theatre grub. It's a chain so its not gourmet but the food is fine and fairly reasonable with varied selection. There's a great bar area serving good cocktails. Ask to be seated downstairs as upstairs was empty but buzzing downstairs NB this was at 6 pm. Service was good and we made sure they knew we were going to the theatre and we weren't kept waiting. Seems to attract groups but not for romance..

So we had booked a table for 3 and arrived 10 minutes early so was told to go get a drink. The man behind the bar was quite rude when I did not understand what he was saying to me about leaving my card to start a tab which I didn't want to do so we just paid cash and he didn't seem very impressed by us. We was taken to our table by a window which was lovely but it had a very bad cold draft coming through and I didn't have a jacket other than my coat so we asked to move which was no problem. The waiter was lovely except when I asked for no rocket or tomato his reply was "really?" Which I found quite rude as I wasn't asking for something extra, I just simply did not want them. I had steak which was the most enjoyable steak I have ever had. The homemade chips were also a lovely and went well with the steak. The service of food was quick. We also had a dessert which was fantastic. Overall it is certainly a place I would return to. Lovely atmosphere to go for cocktails with friends or a meal :)

They spend a lot of time and effort to make the decor all that, but this is a chain and you can't get away from that. Very tourist crowd, not one for the locals. Its a busy/buzzy place but the food is average especially when compared to value for money. I wouldnt go back purely because there are so many better alternatives around the corner. ( I have however eaten in the private dining room at the Living Room in Birmingham and this was much better).

Had a lovely meal with the wife,service was good,food was great and the atmosphere was good to.lovely cocktails and a brilliant location.

Went with a friend friday night, and had a 50% discount voucher. We really enjoyed it. Best hummus I've had! Lovely Venison shepherds pie and exactly what we needed on a cold snowy evening. Lot of noise from a man in the bar area who was shouting a lot. Should really have been asked to leave as very off putting for diners. Will definitely go back when we visit London again.

Great place to take the weight off your feet after a shopping trip and have a drink whilst the other half continues down regency street. Try the scotch bonnet cocktail. Wow....

I visited this restaurant to have a Friday night supper with friends. Firstly, it should be said that this is not just a restaurant but also a busy bar. So on arrival it was very hard to find each other amongst the crowds and at first we could hardly hear each other speak in the bar area. The dining area is more relaxed but not much. Throughout dinner we were interrupted by a group of very drunk men on the next table and this is definitely more of a "night out" venue than other Living Rooms I have visited.The worst part of the experience was the food! My starter was cold and whilst it was replaced swiftly and with no argument, I also received no apology. My friends were expected to continue eating their dishes but had almost finished by the time mine arrived. This meant I had barely finished mine before the main course arrived. The main course was good. The pudding was average.

was here for a friend's 21st birthday would not have chosen it normally as I don't particularly enjoy European food. However, atmosphere was very lively, great ambience on a Thursday night and impeccable waiting staff. however the food itself was poor. i bought garlic bread which seemed like bread pieces with cheap mild cheddar on top with no hint of garlic, quickly microwaved. to be honest, I've eaten better garlic bread at my local Sainsburys and the cheek for £3.70! my main dish thai chicken with rice was poor, not much taste and sloppy. my friends dish of chicken burger was tasteless. however, my other friend opted for vegetarian meal which was delicious. drink prices were good, as were desserts and alcohol menu but meat based dishes were poor. not sure I would come again due to the food and extortionate prices for some, but fabulous atmosphere and location was brilliant. waiting staff were particularly exceptional and helpful. the fact my friends had a 50% off voucher was fab otherwise I would have felt slightly ripped off but 8/10 experience.

Food was pretty decent for what you pay. Just up market pub grub. Waiters werent so good. Brought mains out before the starters so then brought starter out whilst we were eating our main. Then asked for sauces and had finished main course by the time the arrived. Additional 12.5% service added automatically. Should have asked to be removed but hey probably would have screwed it up. May have been an off day. Nice location, decor and atmosphere for a hearty lunch.

Sono stato in questo ristorante di domenica sera. Locale non pienissimo ma molto confusionario, più come un pub che come ristorante. Il menù presenta pochi piatti e classici. Noi abbiamo optato per una zuppa di zucca ma era abbastanza anonima accompagnata da del pane riscaldato al microonde. Come piatto principale abbiamo preso la sogliola. Nulla da dire sul pesce che era cucinato molto semplice ma sul contorno che era immangiabile.Conto nella media dei ristorante centrali di Londra ma con un altro livello di cibo.

Solid place to go to for dinner and drinks. Accepts reservations is a plus. As an out of towner you get to try some local grub like blood pudding which you cannot get here in the states/

We visited the Living Room last Tuesday evening as it was offering 2 for 1 with Taste Card. The Restaurant is lovely situated just off Regent St. The Service was first rate we had Bread and Oils for nibbles which was nice (although we did have to request extra oil after the initial thimble full we got) we had starters of battered tiger prawns and qtr duck breast both of which were lovely. Our server regularly came and checked on us and topped up our wine glasses. For main course my partner had the chicken burger which came with hand cut chips where as I opted for the rump steak which I can honestly say is the best steak I've ever tasted. We decided to be greedy and have dessert and it turned out to be a fantastic choice the sticky toffee pudding was to die for ! The bill did come to £90 for 2 of us but with taste card this was then reduced to £67 which for a meal of that quality in a London restaurant I don't think is bad

tok us a while to find it as the iphone was sending us somewhere else. when we did get here after walking down regent street and is was very busy which can be expected on a friday night, we have been to the one in bristol many occassions and the london one lived up to the recommendations. we had drink and sat down for food which was delicious, would recommend

Good choice of menu both starters, main and puds.Shame about putting service charge of 12.5% on the bill. I always prefer to leave my own tip. when I see this it really gets my back up. London get real, this doesn't happen in the countryside.

This restaurant have captured the essence of slow food - but for all the wrong reasons! I went there for lunch with three colleages last week and it took two hours to deliver one main course. Didn't even have time for a coffee. The waiters were very smiley and friendly, and the food was good, but they will need to raise their game if I'm going to eat there again.

The living room is as we all know a chain but this one is extra special. Tucked away just off regent street in a fab location. Open fires and fantastic service along with a great atmosphere put this pub on my list of places to return to on out frequent trips to London. Well worth a visit !

3rd visit didn't disappoint. Excellent service, food and wine was enjoyed by all in our party.The downstairs toilets are also worth a visit.

I went there recently for the first time and I must admit I was impressed! The atmosphere was what impressed me the most, then the decor, the live music and the amazing watermelon & lychee cocktail the talented bartender made for me! It's one of the fanciest/ posh places I've been to in London so far and it's worth going there at least weekly!

Passed by the restaurant by chance. Ended up being a delightful surprise. They were kind enough to seat me without reservation. Good food. Excellent service. They really apply the philosophy of a living room to their restaurant.Next time you are in London, try it out.

Llegamos de casualidad en realidad y nos gusto mucho la decoración del lugar. De inmediato un mesero nos atendió. Pedimos unos tacos de pato de entrada y después el tradicional fish and chips, el pescado estaba perfectamente capeado y las papas deliciosas, también pedimos el meat pie que estaba delicioso, nada mazacotudo, al contrario, en una cazuela especial y cubierto con la masa pero ligera. Lo recomendamos ampliamente. El precio no es económico pero esta muy bien con relación a calidad, cantidad y precio.

Attended with a group of 10 people on a saturday night. Could not fault from the moment that i booked, then had to change the timing of the reservation, to looking after a couple of members of the group who arrived early, to sorting out some wine for the group to service thorughout the meal. The food was really good and whilst not cheap i do not think it is overly expensive for the standard. Good atmosphere and nice bar for a drink too. Definitely recommend.

We visited as a party of 10 as part of a hen weekend in London. The food was lovely - all 10 of us had different meals from soup and burgers to scallops and steak, and there were no grumbles about anything. Unfortunately the service wasn't brilliant - while the waiting staff were friendly and helpful, the food took an age to come out. Our table was booked for 8:30 yet it was after 10pm when we received our main courses. With a group of mixed ages who had been pounding the streets of London all day, this meant that no one was really in the mood for carrying on elsewhere after, which cut the night a little short. But still, everyone enjoyed themselves, but the wait might have been more of an issue in a smaller party.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were impressed. Friendly service and really great food made it a lunch to remember. Not particularly cheap but the quality made it good value for money.

So we really liked Heddon square for lunch and came back for dinner and ate at the Living room. Wow the food was delicious, the decor casual and funky. We had fish, and steak, and pepper and chorizo soup. We ate like kings all four of us, child, mother in law and all, and we all enjoyed it very much. It's located in lively Heddon square off Regent street so it was perfectly located for before and after restaurant activities. There is an outdoor patio where you can take in the lively outdoor goings on and happening after hours socializing. We probably had our best meal there and considering it was our last night in London, it served to give us a great lasting memory. Service was friendly and prompt as well, an A+

First off, I want to say that it really depends on the occasion:If you are going for drinks, I can totally recommend this place on a Friday/Saturday nightIf you are going for dinner, there are much better places aroundInterior: Love the decor, the bar and the fireplaceDrinks: Great quality cocktails, nothing to complain and not expensive at allService: Everyone was very friendly, especially the managerFood: The food was unfortunately a big let down. I ordered the duck and it came 'very well done', I told the waiter, the manager came and immediately told me he'd knock it off the bill and get a new one. Unfortunately, the second attempt was not much better but I did not want to complain about it. The appetizers were pretty good but the other mains were not great - disappointing for such a nice locationRestrooms: Yes I have to mention them. The facilities are nice and they have a big selection of very good perfumes (big selection for men as well) to use for 'free', even Bleu de Chanel for example. However, there is also a bathroom attendant who hands you a towel and engages you in short small talk. While I did not mind, the girls that were with me felt slightly intimidated by his presence and felt like they HAD to tip him, which was a bit uncomfortable. Live music: There is also some awesome live music Fri/Sat but beware, it gets extremely loud downstairs and if you want to actually talk to one another you should insist on a table upstairs. Verdict: Great for drinks, not for dinnerComment to manager: If you are reading this, please improve your food, this place has so much potential!

Had high expectations of this restaurant after going to the one in Bristol. We are greeted eventually by a waitress who really couldn't care less and showed us to our seats which is not where we wanted to sit. We asked to be moved to nearer the window but we were refused as they said they were expecting more people to arrive. - It was pretty empty when we arrived. Service was slow. Food was very average and very salty. It seems that everywhere is adding salt to the food these days to make it taste better. Drinks took some time to arrive and the side portion of spinach was pathetic for £3.23 - see photo attached. When I complained the waiter did arrange for another portion to arrive which was good and to his credit. My wife's sandwich was thrown together with no thought to the presentation.Overall - quite a poor meal in the heart of London.

Went to dine here on 23rd June no complaints regarding food or atmosphere, location etc all 5*. But the biggest let down was the way we were explained the specials menu we were told to opt for a steak dish which was basically a sliced steak. Top quality meat and great taste but we were upsold the item as it is good for two as is the same as a Rib-eye sounds great only to be present a bill x2. Both myself and my girlfriend were taken back at this and when confronted our server he told as that he had sold 10 that evening and did not have any issues! yeah surely once consumed you can't do anything about it! We paid as we were not going to make an issue but please be mindful and check again before you order as the staff are clearly targeted and to meet his target the waiter just tried his best and upsold in a twisted manner! Not good!!!

Been sat here for an hour and 20 minutes and still waiting for our meal, then brought out the wrong food.....once food arrived one of our party had to wait a further 10 minutes for hers, such a shame as it is a nice restaurant in a good location.

Booked a table for 7:30 on Saturday evening (must book otherwise could be disappointed).Excellent service from very friendly staff. Great cocktails! Menu varied and not over priced.Food delivered hot, beautifully presented and very good portions.Would highly recommend. Great place for people watching as very busy courtyard with lots of activity.

I came here on a Friday night to meet some friends for dinner and drinks. We were really looking forward to catching up over nice food and cocktails. However, the music was so loud as was the general noise levels that we were struggling to hear each other talk. We are a young bunch of 25 year old girls so I do not struggle with noise levels in general! We regularly go out to bars, clubs and pubs but did not expect to not have a normal conversation at a restaurant over a meal. When the food did come out it wasn't even nice and I couldn't finish it. My friends felt the same with their food options, except one who has fish and enjoyed hers. The cocktails on a positive note were good!

Enjoyed a very pleasant 'snack' meal of a variety of tapas. Welcome was warm, service good and meal very nice. Atmosphere was vibrant, though the restaurant was quite noisy. Very nice bar area and plenty of outdoor seating. Overall the Living Room was a very pleasant experience. Would go back again when in London but would not make a special journey to go there.

Super service, hyggelige omgivelser og fantastisk mad

Me and my friend had dinner here once and saw a mouse in the main restaurant. The manager, having noticed that we've seen the mouse, came over and apologised for what we've just seen and said that they obviously have a bit of a mouse problem, which they are taking care of. Then he just walked off, didn't offer us a drink or to take the items off the bill, we really wondered what the point was to come over and tell us that....strange!

I came here with my boyfriend in April 2012 just on a day out in London. We came across 'The Living Room' and decided to pop in.When you walk in the atmosphere and decor is lovely, very modern and was thriving. As the menu was changing the next day there was a few things missing off the menu which was completely understandable and the waiter was lovely about it. This did not bother us and so we both ordered the pesto chicken burger. The burger was lovely and the chips was delicious! We asked for some more pesto and so the waiter brought us some pesto and basil oil, which was very kind of him. We did not stay for dessert, but in spite of the menu change, the staff kept us very happy and it was a very nice evening! Lovely place! Also, was very reasonably priced for London, if i recall correctly I think the burger was about £10. Was absolutely delicious, the building is lovely and the staff could not have done more to keep us happy at such an awkard time for them (with the menus changing).

Everyone needs a variety of restaurants for different occasions. The Living Room is good for informal lunches, mid priced food, relaxed atmosphere. Have been several times for lunch, Service is good and friendly without being too formulaic- everyone is trained these days to go back to the table after your food has arrived to check if everything thing is ok. They seem to mean it and avoid asking you in mid mouthful. Food is good, nice variety of staples, nice sized portions i.e. not overwhelming, freshly cooked and tasty.Downside- music is too loud downstairs on a busy day and avoid the seats with no backs

The 1st time i went i loved the food and choice and we sat upstairs - GREAT. However have been there twice since when there hasn't been the option to sit upstairs and the noise volume downstairs makes it hard to have a relaxing meal. The food is still lovely but the service is slow and the close proximity to other customers meant we paid our bill quickly and went somewhere else to relax and chat. Sadly - that is probably our last visit.

Last night was our third time dining at The Living Room and we have found it to be consistently very good. The menu is varied and changes regularly and the atmosphere is convivial and vibrant. I also like their wine list, with some very good wines available by the glass. (The Vouvray is excellent.) Our bill last night was a little over £100 for the three of us and we all had drinks, starters, main courses and desserts. Conveniently located just off Regent Street in Heddon Street (nicknamed The Restaurant Quarter) this is a good place to pop into after a day's sightseeing or shopping. I'd recommend booking in advance though as it does get very busy.

Went here yesterday (Sunday 15th April) for somewhere different. Nice location just off Regent Street, but definitely underwhelmed by the place itself. Seating is mainly on (backless) benches which are crammed against diners on tables next to you; kind of uncomfortable brushing against other diners too. We moved our table as a result. Has bags of potential I think but it just lacks something in my opinion. There's a lot of wasted space, ironically.Food was cold (warm at best), vegetables unimaginative, yorkshire pudding was cold and tough, same as roast potatoes.Also, check your bill. Even though we chose from the Sunday Special menu we were charged from the a la carte menu which i didn't realize until we got home. My fault, but you don't expect to be tucked-up!I would say this is probably a good fun bar in the evening but go for drinks, not the food.

Took my girlfriend here on Friday night. The food was amazing. I had mussels with chorizo and tomatoes, these were lovely the only thing they could have done with is bread. My girlfriend had teriyaki chicken skewers, she said these were perfect. We both had steaks for mains. They were cooked to perfection. Overall we were really impressed and can't wait to return.

Nice starters and interesting small plates selection, avoid the ribeye steak as it was not a smart choice - steak is not what they do best here, colleague ordered salmon and that was a much better choice from this kitchen. Nice patio, limited wine list.

We traveled to London on Mothers day there not knowing, when we found out we thought we would have trouble finding a place to eat lunch. Well we stumbled across this place and it was perfection. The risotto is the best I have ever had. The restaurant had a live pianist at lunch that was wonderful.

I visited The Living Room for a family birthday meal on a Friday night. Great mix of dishes, Modern European dishes and British Classics. Some of the dishes are presented in a quirky way which was pleasing for all the diners. The portions are of medium size, no cutting corners there!The service we had as great. The waiters were attentive, friendly and provided a memorable service. I did notice a longer gap than usual between courses, but this didn't cause any problems as it gave us chance to rest after our meals.The atmosphere was lively, as expected on a Friday night, however the the volume increase was noticable when the singers began their set. This proved a problem when trying to communicate with the other diners across the table.All in all an enjoyable experience with great food.

Great, lively atmosphere, service pretty good although not the best waiter - seemed intent on flirting with my friend more than anything! Delicious food although it wasn't clear whether or not you needed to order sides on top - some dishes did and some didn't. Would def go again tho.

Me and my friend went here for drinks one snowy saturday in february, the place was warm, played good music and had a really nice buzzing atmosphere. We arrived really late though, so we only had a couple of drinks. Will go back when in London next!

The Livingroom liegt mitten in London, in einer Seitenstraße zur Regent Street. Also ideal um zwischen Shopping und Sightseeing einzukehren. Das Lokal ist vorne Restaurant und im hinteren Bereich Bar. Alles modern eingerichtet mit viel Holz und warmen Farben. Der Service im Restaurant ist sehr aufmerksam, im Barbereich ist Selbstbedienung, was etwas ungewöhnlich ist, aber nicht weiter stört. Ferner gibt es einen Außenbereich auf der Heddon Street. Essen war gut und vom Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für London downtown in Ordnung. Gute Wahl für jede Tageszeit, sicher abends am schönsten mit einem Cocktail zu starten.
