   Service very slow and inattentive initially. Each course took ages to come to table. Not bad, but not great.

   I’ve been going to Rowley’s for many years but it feels like it’s changed and not in a good way. Another reviewer said that it has lost its USP under new management. Let’s hope it recovers again soon. My experience today was good/ average but not exceptional as I believe it used to be.

   As per usual, another great meal. A sophisticated and better quality L’Entrecôte….I highly recommend.

   Rowley's situated in Jermyn street is a fine restaurant and worth a visit. The menu is not extensive but sufficient, shame there is not a set menu at the lunch sitting. The sirloin was on the tough side so would suggest the Fillet which was excellent as was the Sea Bass. Four Gin and tonics, two bottles of wine + four starters, four main courses and three puddings with service -£426.80, so not cheap but to be fair, service and ambience, very good (coffees were poor quality). As one of our group was celebrating a birthday, a birthday treat was promised but not forthcoming. Would I go again?…Yes, I would.

   Unfortunately, we had to leave as they only serve fish and chips for lunch, which is not stated on the menu on OpenTable. As we are not able to have meat on a Friday, this left us with very limited options. We have been before and love the restaurant so will definitely go back, just not on a Friday!

    Having had very good experience and meals at Rowley’s many times, unfortunately on this occasion (06-12-24), my order of a “rare” although “fatty”entrecôte steak arrived perfectly cooked only then to be burnt by the slow table burner as I ate my meal ! Due to having half eaten the steak I chose not to complain at the time; not until I was paying and leaving the restaurant. In “hindsight” clearly this was a mistake as on reflection both the experience and the meal was “spoilt” ; the meal was paid in full, as this was not about the invoice. For the price paid I feel that this was not good value and feel very disappointed.
