The food was brilliant but the service was not there. This place does not deserve a Michelin star. The servers had 0 enthusiasm, sounded scripted, banged the plates on the table and spit saliva in the intro on me 😂. I was somewhat able to overlook all of these but on the way out, there was no one waiting at the reception desk for us to pick up our coats. We called someone and he stood there watching my partner struggling to put on her coat. I went to village cafes that was treated better and didn't have to pay £400. The Owner and the Chefs working there are getting cheated on the hard work they put, so I had to let it out.

An amazing dinner; a tasting menu all built around the concept of cooking over an open fire. The best oyster I've ever had, cooked with beef tallow. And great, friendly service. Updated: my first review was two years ago. I just dined again tonight (as well as six months ago) and it's still wonderful. Every dish was great, and the menu seems to be updated regularly. Definitely plan to come back when I visit London in the future!

Amazing experience at this warm and friendly restaurant. I'm a big fan of scandinavian food and was excited to try this venue. We loved every course of this exceptional meal and the service was top notch. Highlights for me were the invitation in to the kitchen for one of the courses, to really experience how they are cooking the amazing food and unashamedly the bread and butter they have hand churned. I had a pescatarian tasting and every dish was sublime, I loved the stories behind the food and we enjoyed every minute. As we're not wine drinkers, we ended up ordering cocktails from the fabulous cocktail bar in the hotel and these were also exceptional. Thanks to the whole team for a unique and memorable experience.

The food was great but they significantly overcharged us TWICE which left a bit of a bad taste. Once and it would have been ok but twice took away from the magic of the evening. They didn’t really provide an excuse the first time., but the second time, they said they’d mixed us up with another table. Being that this is their business, staying on top of what each table ordered should not have been an issue. It was not addressed properly so left a disappointing feeling unfortunately for what should have been a special night. Still went for an automatic punchy 13.5% service charge after all that, so that happened.

I've eaten at a lot of high-end restaurants including three star Michelin but there are very few I would re-visit given the number of new places to try. However Ekstedt at The Yard is one of the few exceptions and definitely in my top three. The food was exceptional and there wasn't a single dish we didn't absolutely love, with each dish offering a unique flavour that we hadn't encountered before. I think my highlight would have to be the Cep Souffle. They even invite you into the kitchen to see one of the "snacks" being prepared and get a sense of what its like in a wood fired kitchen. The ambience is dark and moody which is perfect until you try and read the menu. Thankfully, the attentive staff quickly provided us with portable table lamps. Every member of the team was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly, striking the perfect balance in pacing our meal throughout the evening. Can't wait to go back

So disappointed with our experience here on 7/27/24. Service was terrible, we were left for over an hour without anyone checking on us. Water and wine glasses went dry, no one bothered to ask if we'd like another glass. The food was fine, but not nearly worth the price point. In the middle of the meal, they gave us a huge slab of sourdough bread, which was pretty insulting. The portions were so small (even by tasting menu standards) and it was so transparent that they were just trying to fill us up with cheap bread. I think our server just forgot about us, and when we finally flagged him down, he was not at all apologetic about the lack of service.

The flavours tantalising your taste buds it was hard to say which was my favourite course either the lobster with the foam which tasted of the best lobster bisque or the veal carpaccio with mustard ice cream. The invitation to the kitchen was a memorial experience. The sommelier was so informed and interesting all the restaurant crew were exceptional.

A must ! Excellent cuisine, based on cooking over a wood fire, with smoky, woody flavors. A wonderful wine list. A wonderful discovery! Very warm service. Don't miss the signature oyster, prepared in front of the guest in the open kitchen: a spectacle for the eye before the taste pleasure. In addition, the restaurant is in a prestigious place steeped in history: Scotland Yard, the former headquarters of British law enforcement. Some windows show related antiques.

My husband and I went for the tasting menu with wine pairing. We really enjoyed both the food and the wines (a part from the final wine which for us didn't work as it felt too bitter for the dessert). The staff is super friendly and polite, and a particular note goes to the Sommelier who spent the perfect amount of time in telling us about each wine tasted. My constructive feedback goes as this: the service felt quite rushed in the first half and slowed down in the second half. Try to make it less rushed as I was starting to feel drunk by trying to finish the wines. Therefore, I started leaving the wines behind, which was not nice. A couple of times, I had to ask for my tap water as I had an empty glass. Either leave the jag on the table or be more attentive. My husband ordered sparkling water, and the waiter removed the cap from the bottle. I'm sure it doesn't get flat straight away, but it's nice to be able to scre the cap. 13.5% discretionary tip is automatically added to the bill. I would like to choose what tip to leave, if any. Please give options whether to leave no tip, 10% 12.5% or 15% or higher.

The restaurant's six-course tasting menu promised fresh, innovative dishes, and the food mostly delivered. The chef's creativity shone through, and we eagerly anticipated each bite. However, the service was seriously lacking. We waited over an hour for the first course, and after prompting the staff, dishes flew out at a breakneck pace, with servers pushing aside previous courses for new ones. It was a culinary relay race. At one point, we had two wines on the table, as servers forgot we hadn't finished our previous pairing. The dessert wine pairing was a head-scratcher – the sweet dessert and wine just didn't match, and the wine arrived ten minutes after the dessert. The restaurant has potential, but the service needs work. Compared to others in its class, it falls short in overall experience. We left feeling like we'd been on a rollercoaster – highs from the delicious food, but lows from the inconsistent service. If they can improve their service, they could be a contender. For now, it's great food, really disappointing service.

Lovely setup and impeccable service. Most of food was amazing (we really enjoyed every dish of the tasting menu), however we found the desserts to unbalance the tasting experience. After the pre-dessert (an amazing pine sorbet), we received a huge portion of chocolate dessert which was followed by more chocolate pralines making the end of the dinner too chocolate heavy an making us almost forget the previous experienced flavours. Having said that, we had a lovely evening and will surely return to try more from the chef 's unique cuisine.

They say some of the best places are things you just walk in to! We were staying at a nearby hotel and just wanted something local when we saw this location. We had a welcoming reception from staff and were really impressed with the building, which we were told was an old fire station. The pizza is brilliant, cooked how a pizza should be cooked and the half yard and yard orders is a great idea...and filling. We had a great evening in here and desert didn't disappoint either. Certainly a place to go if your in the area and if staying at a nearby hotel then well worth the visit for food. If I was in this part of London again I would certainly re visit.

We visited on Saturday night, the restaurant was two thirds full but with the general speed of service you might have thought it was packed the rafters. Every interaction with the staff took longer than necessary. A long wait at the door, a delay on the drinks, an age for the food and getting the bill was just impossible. The food was ok - and perhaps if you visited over a quiet lunch they'd put on a better show, however we won't be returning. Unfortunately, it being located on a busy junction, this place will probably continue to make money from tourists and unsuspecting passers by for a long time yet.

We went to Yard on Saturday night and had an extremely disappointing meal. Firstly, we had booked but were told at the door rudely that they hadn’t seen the booking. We were shown to a table and it took a long time to order. It took almost an hour for the main to come after we had finished our starter. We had to ask twice where our food was and their only excuse was that they were busier than they expected – not a good excuse in a large restaurant on a Saturday night in a busy area. One staff member was nice but one was extremely rude and when bringing plates back to the kitchen from outside was even swearing. They were obviously understaffed and it took them around 30 minutes after we had finished eating to pick up the plates and this was only after we had asked for the bill twice. The food was okay but not great and I could have made a better dish at home. Further, we had “Italian bread” – which was basically white toast which was cold – truly disappointing. Overall a very disappointing meal and a waste of time. I would not go here again.

As we wanted to split the meal in two they said we couldn't split it in half because it would go over the amount and that would be illegal (even if we did it to the penny). This wasn't an issue, we paid the full amount one one card but we were confused as this has never been an issue elsewhere!

When the food did come two of the pizzas were wrong and the other pizzas were very average!The manager replaced the pizzas with what was originally ordered and took them off the bill but the rest of us had all finished by then!When we left a restaurant the manager and other staff let out an almighty woop!

I visited this venue with colleague for a working lunch. The staff are lethargic and overwhelmed by the job. During the busy lunch period, staff simply could not handle the footfall in the restaurant, orders were confused and the time from entering the restuarant until being approached to take the order was over 1 hour.The food also took a long time to arrive, as clearly the kitchen staff could not cope with the amount of orders either. However..... The Pizza's were great, and the Linguine with Seafood was amazing!I think this would be a good place ot visit if the venue is not so busy. I would go again in these circumstances, but certainly not at lunch time.

I had high hopes for this place - always good to find a decent pizza resteraunt in London (there are a lot...). I ordered my pizza, then I ordered it again, again and again. They seemed to have forgotten about me completely and favoured the younger, louder Londonites to my left. One of which had a delay on a salad and was offered free salad while she waited - me however, I was just asked for the fourth time, what was my order again??So once the pizza arrived, the 4 cheese with mushrooms - I noticed that there was only one kind of cheese on it - a lot of it, granted, but alas....only one. So I ordered some gorgonzola on the side - and was presented with close to half a block on a plate. I didnt get around to checking the bill to see if I was charged for it.Service was scattered - either 3 people at once, or no one. Bill came before I was finished and I was generally, made to feel like I should have chosen Franca Manco (which is amazing BTW - Ill review them at some point).All in all, Yard is over rated, fairly average, NOT ITALIAN, blah service and rides mainly on thier location in Shoreditch. I would suggest another place - there are plenty around.

Found this restaurant after wandering around for awhile near our hotel, Holiday Express Inn City. We hadn't booked and doubted if we could get a table at 7.00pm on a Saturday night, but they squeezed us in.Reasonable menu and food came very quickly, didn't score to full extend as we thought that the montepulciano d'abruzzo tasted of vinegar. would have liked to have had a meat feast on the menu, had to order the spicy one and have the chillies taken off.Worth a visit.

We went in a really big group but they were very accommodating when a few extra friends arrived. Service was very quick - which is always amazing when there are 20+ people.

I've been only once at lunch time. I ordered gnocchi with spinach, chicken breast and blue cheese sauce. The sauce was based on some cheese but no blue cheese taste at all. Nothing else had much taste either. You can prepare the same dish or better yourself by buying the ingredients from Tesco for a third of the price. The same applies to the garlic bread.

Restaurant pizzéria, pâtes, salades. Pas mauvais mais pas incroyable. Les service est totalement à déplorer, serveur pas capable de retenir plus d'une chose à la fois. On leur demande une césar sans croutons pour cause d'allergie au blé, elle arrive avec des croutons... Gros amateurisme en matière de service. Pas méchants mais totalement incompétents. Sinon le restaurant est plutôt bien situé près de Old Street.

Pizza doesn't taste like a real Italian pizza , but it's good anyway. The place is cosy and the atmosphere is nice. Music is too loud, there is too much noise and tables are closed to others, that is why I wouldn't suggest it for a romantic date. The service is also good. Concerning prices, I would say they are not really expensive but not really cheap. In general , I would recommend it , expecially to spend time with friends on Saturdays. Maybe I would go again.

For my leaving lunch my manager booked this informal restaurant for us to enjoy pizza, pasta or salad. It was literally on our doorstep, right next door to the Fire Station bar.We chose a selection of pizzas and my colleague had a salad. All were very well presented, a fair size and tasted great.It was a relatively busy Friday lunch time so I did have to request the bill after waiting some time for someone to engage with us at the table. That said, the staff were friendly but were just super busy.For a reasonably priced place in a lovely, informal setting try the Yard. It is a great option. You will not be disappointed.

Ordered a spicy pizza, which allegedly should have had Nduja sausage on it. No evidence of said sausage, and my friends who ordered the same thing reported the same issues. So basically a pizza that wasn't spicy in the slightest. Waitress insisted it was present, but I've had it before, and it wasn't!My tip? Avoid!

The girls enjoyed a more sedate quarter ......... Couldn't fault the service and the surrounding s were great as we had a serving firefighter in our gang All credit to the manager and staff . Thank you xxxx

Nettes kleines Restaurant mit sehr leckerer Pizza. Die Portionen sind nicht riesig, aber man wird gut satt. Preislich für Londoner Verhältnisse absolut okay. Die Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Würde jederzeit wieder hier essen.

Took my team here for our Christmas party in January, we had the function room and all 50 staff had a blast! Fantastic pizza, great service so my thanks to the staff with a special mention for John for organising it with me.

Visited recently, late-ish on a Sunday night. Only a couple of other tables in.Service was great, really friendly and helpful. We ordered a 'half yard' of pizza and a couple of sides, plus wine and beers.Far too much food and we ended up taking part of the pizza home to enjoy cold for breakfast.Really enjoyed the pizza and the place had a nice vibe, despite being quiet.Playing some excellent old skool Prince which is never a bad thing.Recommended.

We were here on New Year's Eve for a quick bite. It's a lovely building and a great atmosphere. Service was very good, we ordered a starter and dessert of the set menu and the main courses a la carte, very flexible of them. Starter was nice but nothing spectacular. We both had the seafood linguine as a main, it was good with a spicy sauce (which I like so no problem at all) but not great and I have had better ones in London. They made a small mistake on the bill which was corrected with apologies. Overall the service was very friendly and good but the food was average. We didn't try the pizza and I would come back to try that, they looked really good. 4 stars because of the service.

We had starved ourselves unknowingly until it got to the point of fainting. We then found Yard. Very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff in fact the staff were top notch!I had pizza which was fresh and very tasty one of the boys had spaghetti Bolognese which he enjoyed. All in all a nice experience with nice food. Would return again!

I went to this restaurant on Friday evening… it was very good. I am very impressed with everybody working there and the food. I saw some bad reviews before writing mine but I have to say our experience was good. I am very happy and I would go back there as soon as we can. The caucasian complex lady was very attentive, always asking and serving us and other people around us. It is not much a place for a romantic dinner (a bit noise and busy) but it is a very good place to eat in this area. We are planing to go back soon.

Las pizzas muy buenas,la ensalada muy muy fresca con ingredientes muy naturales.La atencion no es muy buena pues tardan mas de lo normal.La educacion de la manager deja mucho que desear y el respeto hacia los trabajadores me parecio pesimo y con mucha falta de educacion para con ellos.

Have been here a few times for lunch to support a small business instead of Tesco ,went today and the prices have gone up massively and tbh the food quality is just continuously so poor and I’m always overcharged , paid £10 for a dry sandwich ,Diet Coke and pack of crisps , probably will not be going again which is such a shame!

Have been here often for lunch. There is quite a range of food, from focaccia, to pasta, to salads. It can be a bit pricey but you pay for quality I guess!
