The food was fine, service really poor. We had to ask just get some menus, then again to place our orders, then yet again just to get a wine list. Staff seemed greatly overworked, and some of them were quite rude. Our party of 7 certainly wasn't made to feel welcome or valued. When we eventually got to place our order (about an hour after arriving) the food came surprisingly quickly and was fair enough, but not exceptional. The restaurant was very crowded, with tables packed in and unpleasantly noisy - due to the close proximity of so many other diners. Overall, it was quite expensive for what it was, but I suppose you should expect that for the location - about £80 per head, including drinks and 12% service charge. It was ok, nothing I would complain about, but I wouldn't go again.

Dined at Oslo Court as a special Christmas treat to enjoy some French cuisine in London and some sparkling silver service on pink tablecloths by the wonderful staff at the restaurant. Booked nearly 2 months in advance such is the demand to get a table on a Saturday night and it was definitely worth the wait. Everything was exquisite from start to finish. You are greeted as an old friend on arrival and your coat is taken and shown to your table , the candle is lit and the server places a napkin on your lap and old school Melba toasts and some crudités are placed on the table while you peruse the menu. The choices are amazing, something for everyone. My yellowfin tuna tartare was delicious, fresh tasting and looked very pretty with the cucumber finishes. The crab à la Rochelle was indeed puff pastry shaped like a crab and served with brandy sauce, it was outstanding. Main course of côte de veau was divine, the meat cooked perfectly and it was a good sized portion served with as much veggies as you wanted - carrots, fried zucchini, green beans , carrots, cauliflower cheese , potatoes or frites - the list goes on. The fillet mignon was served with a simple yet tasty mushroom, shallot and red wine sauce - French foodie heaven. Dessert choices numbered at least 15 ! from French crêpes Suzette to a bowl of ice cream , tarte tatin or some profiteroles , remember to save some room as my tart tatin with ice cream was heavenly. Tea and coffee is also included as well as some petit fours so you will not leave hungry, you certainly get value for your £55. Wine list was well priced and something to suit all pockets - total came to £164.64 including 12% service and a bottle of red for £37 . Some of the items have a supplement but most do not. It was a lovely evening and fellow diners were all having a great time too enjoying the old-fashioned French cuisine which is perfectly executed and served up flawlessly by the super staff . It's an evening well spent if you get the change and not to be missed.

6 of us went last night for my husband's special birthday. All I can say is wow - it never disappoints. The service is second to none, the ambience and decor is beautiful - even the toilets are luxurious. The main event though is the food. The menu is large and varied, and seems to contain all my favourites - everyone's meals were piping hot, delicious, and huge portions - I think we rolled out at the end of the night and I was still full the next day. One of the highlights is Neil the dessert waiter. He no longer has his famous trolley but it doesn't stop him tempting you with delicious dessert. On top of that he was made a large, delicious cake - which we were too full to even taste - so it was packed up for us to take home. We tasted it this afternoon - gorgeous. I nearly forgot that the meal includes a hot drink. In my case a decaf latte which was delicious and came with a heart on top. Totally faultless, and it's easy to see why they are booked up all the time. Can't wait to go back.

Here I am again, please see my last review 2018. Nothing has changed except the waiters & waitresses. Superlative choice of food from the very large menu, delicious, well presented and served by friendly, helpful attentive personnel. A problem was quickly solved by the waiter and maitre'd' You can't improve on perfection Cannesdid ...surfingsyd

It was comfortable with good service, a massive choice of menu options, even apart from the range of daily specials. And the food is very good - traditional but well executed

I have been wanting to visit this establishment for a while. The food portions are large and most satisfactory. The restaurant was packed mostly with large groups celebrating birthdays creating a very festive atmosphere. Staff were pushed but they handled the pressure well. Go if you want a good old fashioned evening.
Old school and excellent! The bacon-wrapped scallops were lovely, the crispy roast duck was excellent and the apple strudel was the perfect finish.

I have been attending here for over 40yrs, twice a year, we went last night and introduced 6 friends to our favorite restaurant. I and my friends were sat down in a cramped table with 2 jammed up against a internal concrete pillar, they gave us 1 crudités for 8 people when it should have been at least 3, then they asked for our drinks order but 2 guests were in the toilet,we said give us 5 mins they gave us 30 seconds when they did serve drinks they were passed across the table over our heads.Then they served starters and took back the bread roll of one guest who was eating it with his soap,The mains were served and they dropped chips over another guest with no sorry or nothing,i have never seen chips served here ever and then my well done steak was mooing with blood, i complained and when we got our bill i was still charged for the steak,the vegtables were thrown on our plates like we was in a school, saving grace Neil, but i was totally shocked and very disappointed with the service
