The best restaurants in St James's City of London, Westminster London

A good Pho for winter season! Totally recommended!

We ate this evening, the meat was excellent as well as the Service. I especially thank Eleni for her welcome and her kindness. She is very smiling!

Really not what I expected. Didn’t even bother to read why we went to the restaurant. The food was terrible and overpriced. The French toast was actually nice but not worth the price either.

Very tasty pizza and great location 👍🏼

Hemskt ställe. Sa att vi bokat ute fast det inte gick. Dryck kom när vi ätit klart men behövde inte betala för den. Ät inte där

Candlelight atmosphere. Service was ok. The menu is short but extensive. Every dish was well prepared, flavourful and tasty. Wine glasses should perhaps be updated and the spicy dishes pointed out on the menu.

Very nice restaurant for kids even accommodated us with our dog

Excellent meals, fast service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for any occasion!

I went there to find relief after an unpleasant experience. The female staff is very friendly, and the coffee is delicious. It was nice to stop by here on my last day in London and calm my mind.

Delicious food and very friendly and helpful staff.

After leaving the 8 bar having visited two days in a row, we stopped by stage bar to have one last drink. It was mainly to listen to some entertainment. Two bar tenders working it was about 10.30pm one was visibly miserable from get go, lacking the hospitality-make you feel welcome. We go out in groups and it is not uncommon for a group to ask for a bill to be split in our case the total divided by three. This bar tender started with oh well you know if you split it the service charge will be added individually or something along those lines. That instantly got my back up because we are splitting the bill you have presented us, what is your issue? Then this unnecessary back and forth. It was not about the service charge which by the way is discretionary. It was clear he was irate by being asked to split the bill. It took him quite a while too, every other server brings a PDQ machine, gets a calculator and splits a bill very simple instruction! The customer is not always right and I would put my hands up; not in this case. The kind of attitude from this bar tender on 30 August is not what hospitality needs in this day and age. He really killed the vibe! I don’t go out to argue with people I go out to have a good time. In the UK, service charges in restaurants are optional and customers can choose to pay or not. Restaurants can decide to add a service charge, which is typically between 5–15% of the bill. The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 will come into effect in the UK on October 1, 2024. This act will require employers to ensure that workers receive the full tip from customers. In this case would have never tipped! The issue was never about service charge but just in case this is not clear to some of your staff a tip is usually about good service it has almost become an expectation in some of these establishments irrespective of service good or bad!

Love this place. Always my go to bar when I’m in Soho and it’s overly busy elsewhere.

I have now been twice, once for dinner, once for lunch. The food, as others have noted, is superb and the philosophy behind the place seems to work. Relaxed, cultured but unstuffy, friendly, modern. The venue helps. The staff seemed unstressed. I like their approach to ingredients and reducing wastefulness, it seems to work for everyone and isn't just some gimmick they pay lip service to. Not a pricey as it could have been, I think their fixed standard menus are great value. Wine list is fair with a good selection and isn't the usual gouge pricing. I think I'll be going again if I can find an excuse to be in the area. That it was pretty full on a Tuesday lunchtime in November tells you something.

This was a lunchtime time visit, the restaurant wasn't busy but it wasn't welcoming at all. Not having a booking we were made to feel like we shouldn't be there, could be because just about everyone else was male in a suit! The team rated the whole experience a 2, food not worth the price charged! I'm posting for all os us who don't wear suits and are looking for great food and good vibes!

Went for pre theatre set menu. Excellent presentation, taste of food and quality. Good portion sizes including on the meat. Attentive service and the venue of course is one of the best you will find
