Booked 100 Wardour Street for a birthday dinner with friends. Amazing staff, amazing service and lovely food. It was so lovely to not be rushed off our table like so many restaurants do in December, and the set menu was delicious. They brought everything to our table with a good time in between without feeling like they were in a hurry to get rid of us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back! Great love entertainment too!

Nice little surprise. Booked last minute as everything was full, run up to Xmas. This place was quiet and spacious. You could have a decent conversation. Tables well spaced out. Food wasn't high end but good value for money. A great little find. Would come again.

Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from
