Had a lunch here, really quiet inside. Service was a bit slow considering how few tables there were. Food was nice and hot but nothing exciting. Nachos for a starter, beware its a generous portion :D Had the tomahawk steak, was so tough to get meat off the bone with a steak knife that I had to give up on it... The rest of the steak was good. I will come back as I think it's a fantastic place for cocktails

It was a good experience, for a large family lunch with good enough food but nothing exceptional. The place, like so many these days is noisy. Very much the fashion not to have many soft furnishings to absorb the chatter and hubbub. Service was ok but clearly the staff were stretched to handle a pretty full restaurant. Getting to the food and menu, not a lot of options for anyone gluten free. If that’s you, go somewhere else. One choice, which said gf on the menu, they advised was not. Prawn cocktail pretty good, loads of prawns, bit short on the lettuce. Burger good. Half chicken very good and pretty ample. But a word for the chef. Caesar salad has anchovies. This one didn’t. I did offer to nip over the road to Waitrose. All the ping pong stuff fine but seems like they can’t make up their minds what to offer. It was convenient location for a meet-up for a group from different locations, but I wouldn’t return. Simply more better choice around.

The environment, decor & sense of space within the bar was instantly relaxing . Along with the smile from the greeter who showed us to a table of our choice. Sampled a bit of their food- sticky chicken & prawn on toast. Both lovely & very tasty. The Long Island Iced Tea cocktail didn’t disappoint ! & The pot of tea to follow could have served quite a few. 😁 Would highly recommend

We went here for a bottomless brunch and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty and plentiful and the service was excellent and very attentive! At no point in our allotted 90 minutes we were empty - and there staff were always on hand to top us up. The setting was also really nice and gave a classy touch to our brunch. Whilst not as raucous as some other bottomless brunches, this was a really nice brunch in a lovely setting with great staff - would recommend!

We had a mini family reunion here with guests from Australia, France, Scotland and UK. Nearly everyone was 60+ so we wanted somewhere that wasn't too noisy and where we could move around to chat to everyone during and after our lunch. The Soak was perfect! I'd arranged a table at one end of the restaurant and we had loads of space and not many people near us. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous - much larger than we expected. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. We were there from 1pm-5pm and were made to feel very welcome - even though most people only drank tap water !! It is a beautiful setting and we would recommend it to others without hesitation.

Staying at the Clarmont and decided to give this restaurant a shot. What a disappointment. Ordered the Fish and Chips. The fish batter was doughy and soggy. When i took my first bite, the fish fell out of the batter onto my plate. Chips were the best thing out of all three dishes we ordered. The braised beef was dry, mash was cold, and the gravy was non-existent. There was not one drop of moisture in my son's burger. It was cooked beyond well done. My son had a better burger from Shake Shack last night!!!!! Is the executive chef not tasting and checking these dishes as they leave the kitchen? We will not be back! What a shame as David assured us of how good the restaurant was.

Wow. Honestly, I have no words, nor have I ever felt as uncomfortable in a public setting as I did today. There is an employee I would like to point out. I am pretty sure he was Arab and his name was Roy or something around those lines. HE WOULD NOT STOP STARING AT ME! It was almost like he was getting payed to just stare me down as weird as possible. He even stood behind me for a good 30 minutes and every time I turned around he was staring me dead in the eyes and even went the extra mile to LICK HIS LIPS and STICK HIS TONGUE OUT AND WINK at me. At that point I was so uncomfortable I couldn’t even finish my food. I payed my bill and as I was walking out I couldn’t see him anymore. As soon as I reached the front door there he was once again, sticking his tongue out, eyes wide, and winking at me. I’m assuming he waited for me at the door while I got my bill taken care of. This has to be one of the most disturbing experiences of my life. Shame on this establishment. Truly no words.

A nice restaurant to celebrate with your friends. They offer 90 minutes free flow of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Many celebrate their bachelor or bachelorette parties here. The atmosphere is nice and quiet. There's a small menu list but nothing to complain. The starters are divine. For the main courses, there's nothing much special they offer. It's your normal Burger or Katsu curry. If you are foodie, I recommend the Prawn in black ink dumpling for starter.

The service was abysmal. The food was good, both variety on the menu and quality, and very well priced. However, the staff let all this done. I’m not sure they’ve been trained let alone worked in hospitality before. A group of six had drink at the bar before dinner. Where to begin…. The drinks menu advice to ask the staff about the selection of ales. I did, and the waiter said “I don’t know”. I asked if he could find out. He just looked at me and smiled. I then asked again. He just smiled and nodded his head no. Then at dinner, the drinks took ages to arrive. Two glasses of wine arrived after dessert.. Once eating the empty plates from some of our group were cleared while others were still eating. We had to ask the waiter to stop. It was like a fast food restaurant. The staff were inattentive, verging on rude. The staff made the experience un enjoyable.

We made reservations well in advance, about 3 months prior, and visited this establishment on 6/27/24. It is conveniently located near the tube station. Upon our early arrival, we were promptly seated. The staff provided exceptional service throughout our dining experience. The seating was luxurious, with plush blue velvet seats that were both spacious and comfortable. The restaurant's floral décor gave it an elegant ambiance giving it the vibe that it may convert into a high-end nightclub in the evening. The menu offered a wide variety of options, with generous portion sizes. The drink selection was extensive, and the dessert menu, although not extensive, was delightful. I particularly enjoyed the Dark Chocolate Raspberry cake, which was truly exceptional. Overall, this restaurant proved to be an ideal choice for a pre- or post-theater dinner.

Despite the fancy décor and ambiance, this place is jazzed up and grossly over priced with staff who have no customer service training. The only person who did was the receptionist at the door. Where she sat me the waiter looked at me twice, smiled and still did not come and ask me for a drink but served someone who was seated after me! I switched tables due to the air con and a similar situation occurred whereby the receptionist had to ask the waiter to serve me!!! Our waiter was slow and did not notice when we were ready to order, we had to ask! The food was basic, no attention to presentation. Extremely disappointed. This was my second chance with this restaurant, I will not be returning

Have to agree with other posts, lovely decor and the cocktails were very good, we were served quickly as there is a button in the booth to press. What lets this place down is the staff, from leaving the table, passing at least 6 staff on the way out, not one of them even looked at us or smiled and it wasn’t even busy, the one on the main door even turning away as we went to go through. Not what you’d expect given the 15% service charge that’s applied without even telling you. Very disappointing end to the visit, plenty of other places around that are far more welcoming and customer focused.

On first impressions, the venue is very pleasing on the eye. I arrived 15 minutes early for our booked table at 5pm, I was shown to our reserved table, no offer of "can I get you a drink while you wait?" and I waited and waited. I could visibly see 3 waiters, all chatting, I'm giving positive indication I'd like service but nobody came, so I went to the bar myself. At 5pm the other 2 guests arrived and once again we waited for service, I had to ask a passing waiter who was waiting on the bar area of we could order drinks. The whole 2 hours we had to constantly look for attention to be served, there were only 6 tables to wait on, 3 servers, so hardly busy. The food was served, 2 x fish and chips, 1 x burger, no offer of ketchup, vinegar etc, so we had to once again summon someone to ask. The food was OK and not a patch on The Ivy which is down the road and will be going to in the future. A terrible, terrible experience. BTW, I did mention to our waiter that we were feeling rather unloved giving them ample chance to improve but nothing changed.

So disappointed in Soak. It has an attractive stylish interior, is clean and has comfortable seating. I really wanted it to become a regular haunt. Unfortunately the food was poorly presented and looked and tasted bland. The service was slow and disorganised. We were a party of 10 who had prebooked and preordered at their request, yet on the day they didn't know who had ordered what and our meals were not served all together. They were not particularly busy, the restaurant seemed to be almost empty but for us. They lauded their "legendary" Ping Pong menu but on the strength of the food I was served I wouldn't visit any Ping Pong restaurant anywhere ever again. I give it two stars for the decor. They really need to sort out everything else.

Discovered this restaurant on my birthday whilst up London, unplanned lunch at soak with to kids, the staff and service were excellent and the food was good. It was so good that I decide to book dinner with my wife a week later. Unfortunately upon my second time at soak I was left disappointed. I made a reservation a week advance. Only to find on the evening that there was no table available unless I agreed to finish with table in 1hr 30 minutes. Otherwise had to take table in the casual booth area. This was due to to soak taking on a party. I agreed to taking a booth due to having a theater booked. Unfortunately the booths are out of the staff sight of vision, (and even though I ask bar staff for service). We waited 20 minutes before we decided to leave. I would understand if I walked in, with out a reservation, however this wasn't the case. We end up in Covent garden walking in to the ivy bar and grill, who were able to offer a service last minute with out feeling we were being unreasonable or rushing, we also sat at the bar and enjoyed our meal. Ivy were able to not ruin a date night prior to theater and offer a great service. Overall due to my first experience at soak I would recommend them for drinks, snacks, friendless with kids.and ambience it provides. The poor service may of been an off night. However due the bad service and unable to accommodate a reservation I made. I don't feel I be returning, which is ashame. With alot of bars, restaurants, and competition, Soak have to up there game (service) during peak times.

Plates were cleared quickly and again the waiter kept appearing asking what we wanted for dessert.

Ordered a few dishes; bangers and mash, chicken skewers, nachos and rump steak. After I've ordered, I was asked about allergies which I happily repiied to with celery. Bare in mind, I've asked for no salsa for the nachos as I get bad heartburn and for a medium/rare steak, both came in subpar quality. The nachos, which I have specifically asked for without Salsa, came with salsa and the steak came luke warm with undercooked chips. My nachos were sent back and came again without Salsa and my steak was heated up after I challenged it but the quality of the meat still remained-it was horrid! Service was friendly but wasn't able to pick up any issues and only asked if everything ok after he's taken plates away. I expect this kind of service from Wetherspoons but not when I pay £45 for a meal!! Won't recommend and won't be back

Very disappointed with what was meant to be a memorable day. Had booked for the bottomless brunch and despite booking being confirmed on arrival we were told that the booking was for lunch. The restaurant female supervisor was rude and dismissive, and offered no apology for a clear miscommunication. Initially said that we could not have the brunch as there would not have been enough food. This went on for 30mins and we were not offered a drink inc water or an apology and then told we could order from the brunch menu and she would tell us if the chef was happy to accommodate our order. We were then approached by another supervisor who did listen and apologise but we were left feeling as if we were very much in the wrong. Not what we were expecting from a reputable establishment such as yours. Food also disappointing. Will not be back or recommend.

Ideal restaurant for a pre show meal. We visited around 5.30 and restaurant was fairly quiet, food is simple but good quality and reasonably priced. Lovely environment with booths and tables, service was excellent

Nice venue, brilliant location and friendly service. Unfortunately the wine and Gimlet we had were not great at all and were overpriced.

Nothing fancy but decent enough stake fries, moules frites and burgers with okayish drinks.

This is a lovely environment, the booths especially are cosy and pretty, the atmosphere is relaxed, the music isn’t too loud. It’s busy without being crazy or loud. It’s possible to have good conversation with your friends. Excellent location for being close to Victoria station. But the staff are inexperienced, I had several awkward interactions, they brought the wrong drinks, I had to go to the bar to correct things more than once, which is fine, but definitely not relaxing.

Staff in the restaurant were wonderful. The food was alright, but the service made everything feel perfect. Our host Mark was excellent and the rest of the team were great. The attentiveness of the staff was some of the best I experienced. We were a table of 14 with young children and they did as much as possible to accommodate us well. Thanks Mark & team

Loved the venu but the food choices were so calorific. I don't know if it's how they cook it, or if it's an error, but adding salmon to a dish is an extra 500 plus calories. Sausage and mash is the lowest cal meal in the menu (apart from sticky toffee pud). This is the only reason I would not go back.

Went here after pantomime. The girls all enjoyed a drink or two. It was quite quiet for a Sunday in December.

We had our office Christmas dinner here and enjoyed the experience. We had few rounds of beer and then starters followed by main meal and bill for each came to £50. Very reasonable. I had lamb kofteh for starter followed chilli chicken pot which was delicious. Only complaint is before live music the sound of music felt a bit too loud which is either effect of beer 🍺 or getting old 😎

What a beautiful bar! Located right outside the Victoria station, makes it a perfect and extreme convenient place to meet a friend if you’re in a hurry! Good customer service as we were seated very quickly. We just had a some red wine but we saw they have a menus of a good collection of cocktails and other drinks. I recommend and would definitely revisit.

This was our first time dining at The Soak and definitely not the last. We were served by Charita who was very attentive making sure we were having a great time. Cocktails were sublime, I would have tried the whole menu if possible. Food was served quickly whilst being great value. The general ambience was great, the live music was a really pleasant surprise. This would be a great place to come for food or drink, we will be back!

Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Le restaurant est dans un hôtel, nous avions très bien mangé et à des prix correct ! Le personnel est chaleureux, souriant, accueillant et serviable ! On s'y sent vraiment bien ! D'ailleurs on n'a vraiment pas vu le temps passer tellement c'est agréable ! La déco est sympa, c'est propre et le service est rapide.

Service was very good couldn’t fault that at all. We had a selection of dumplings, ribs and prawn toast which all were a bit average. The cocktails were excellent though. Wouldn’t not come again would probably just have drinks though.

I came to The May Fair Bar today with my family to celebrate my 23rd birthday, expecting a fun and wholesome evening. What we got instead was an absolute disgrace. We were dressed smart casual, ready to enjoy some cocktails and make the day special. After placing our order and waiting for what felt like ages, we were told, in no uncertain terms, that we had to leave because a bigger party was coming. Are you serious? On my birthday? We didn’t even receive our drinks, and the staff’s attitude was appalling—dirty looks the whole time, making us feel completely out of place. This was supposed to be a special day, and instead, I left feeling humiliated, unwelcome, and like we didn’t matter at all. The way we were treated was beyond disrespectful, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. We definitely won’t be coming back.

My wife and I were looking for some Thai food and saw this on Google and were a bit apprehensive seeing that it was also a pub. Walking in we were immediately greeted by the guys behind the bar, even when they had a number of customers they were serving, and asked what drinks they can get for us. We were clearly confused on where the Thai restaurant was and the guy was very friendly and showed us the way to the stairs and we took our drinks upstairs. The restaurant had just the chef to cook and wait tables and he was very friendly and the food tasted great. A bit weird when you're not expecting that setup with the pub but once we were there we loved it. Again, super friendly bar and chef upstairs and we felt very welcomed and comfortable the entire time.

Went with friends at the week end. Best cake I've ever had . At £13 a slice & £7 for a single shot of expresso, I'll be having to save up before i visit again. 🤑🙄🫢. £7 for a shot of expresso. Wow . Better to have a cup at the Corinthian or Claridges!!!
