    Arrived at 5.45pm for a pre-theatre dinner. We had asked to be in a warm spot, which had been noted and was achieved. We went for the 2 course pre-theatre menu to ensure there was no rush. The food was delicious, nice choice of wines, servers were charming and efficient, and ambience very pleasant. (Minor gripe that the music was a little too loud for our taste.) We would have had time for dessert, but were trying to be good!
    The Restaurant at St Martins Lane LondonResponded on December 13, 2024
    Dear Anna, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your pre-theatre dinner with us, from the delicious food and wine selection to our charming service team and cozy ambience. It’s wonderful to know that your request for a warm spot was accommodated to your satisfaction. We appreciate your feedback about the music volume, and we’ll keep this in mind as we strive to create the perfect atmosphere for all our guests. We’re so pleased you had a great evening and hope to welcome you back soon—perhaps next time you can indulge in dessert guilt-free! Warm regards, The Restaurant team

    Ordered food at 7pm with clear instructions that we needed to leave at 7.40pm. No food had arrived by 7.47pm so we had to leave for the theatre with nothing to eat.

    Beautiful ambience, food is fine but portions are really small though. Time management and service overall was bad (food arrived 10 min before we had to leave for our performance, though we’ve advised how much time we had before ordering, a few dishes for our company of 7 have been forgotten all together.
    The Restaurant at St Martins Lane LondonResponded on December 13, 2024
    Dear Tatiana, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While we’re glad you enjoyed our ambience and found the food satisfactory, we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with portion sizes, time management, and service. This is not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience this caused during your visit. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will review our processes with the team to ensure such lapses do not happen in the future. If you’re open to it, we’d love the opportunity to make it right. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again so we can provide the seamless experience you deserve. Warm regards, The Restaurant team
