    Not a great vibe from the start ; hassled host/hostess- food was below average and was cold when it got to us (it was so busy I didn’t complain) the waiter was rushed off his feet. Steak was tough and overpriced .. there was a box to fill in about a special occasion, but zero was done (why have the box then) .. the bunk where we sat had no spring in it .. you kind of fell into the seat (the people next to us, the same thing happened. Wholly overrated place .. lousy service and below average food … thanks but no thanks

    This was our second visit and we love the vibe of the place. Food is lovely and never disappoints. It is a loud restaurant with good music and a buzz. We'll be back on our next trip to London.

    Excellent food and good value for money. Atmosphere was great. Maybe a little too loud but that’s personal presence, could just be I was tired after a long day! Would highly recommend.

    When. I arrived I had a rather cold reception from the maitre dhotel. Not an impressive start. Same has to be said for the man who served water. Luckily the young chap who served us the meal and drinks was very good and professional. Food very tasty and drinks yum. Very buoyant ambience.

    What Old Compton Brasserie does, it does brilliantly: familiar but innovative food with some clever flairs of presentation, at very affordable prices, served efficiently by friendly staff. The Mon-Fri lunch offer of a choice of six easy dishes with a drink (alcoholic or non) for £15 is exceptional value - my Club Sandwich was world class!

    Terribly slow service. Didn’t bring us water. Took other tables’ orders before ours. Loud ambience too, with glasses breaking every 10 minutes down on the first floor.
