Lovely pre-concert dinner. We ate at the counter (due to a late booking) and did have table envy!!The menu is lovely and our food was delicious. A mix up with desserts was sorted out quickly and efficiently. Will return!

Welcoming and brilliant hospitality, food and, particularly, wine service and delivery. Excellent and sensible range of good value - for the impeccable quality - wines.

Saturday pre-existing theatre supper. A warm & friendly welcome, attentive service, good atmosphere. Interesting menu, superb food (I had the Cornish crab salad then cod, my wife had salmon with avocado creme fraiche then steak) all perfectly cooked & beautifully presented. The selection of cheeses was excellent, as was the prune & armagnac meringue. A fair price, taking everything into account, and we'll happily go back

Such a disappointing evening - and we weren't the only ones. Food took forever to come out, and when it did the food was cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen. Pork chop was overcooked / chewy and the mash was stone cold, Beef casserole was so salty it was inedible, burger was raw (not under, RAW), creme brulee was undercooked and had a burnt top. A couple of the younger staff were rude, and grunted at when we asked if we could have our wine topped up. We ended up asking for the bottles to just be left on the table. One server was having an argument with another member of staff by the bar in the middle of service. Manager was no where to be seen. Staff were clearly untrained, under resourced and under supported. Its one thing for our table to have a bad experience, but we heard 3 other tables ask for the service charge to be removed from the bill. We also asked for this, especially when we found out the servers don't event get the service charge! at £100 pp (that's without the service charge and the desserts were comped) there are FAR better places to go near here. Don't waste your money.

One of Jason Atherton's London restaurants, little social is as the name suggests, a little smaller than its brothers and sisters - but no less wonderful. Fantastic food, service and a drinks and wine selection to match. I had the crab salad and ox cheek, sharing the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All were fantastic. Great service to match. We were a party of 6, so managed to get the little private booth at the rear of the restaurant - cosy and intimate, but still with a view and ambience from the wider restaurant. Would recommend.

Great spot for lunch - simple menu but beautifully cooked. Service was pitched just right I think. Very affordable way of enjoying good quality food.

Food was good, but a little salty over all.Service can be massively improved, asked for bill, which only took 30 mins to arrive, and no one came to collect payment after waiting for another 20 minutes. We ended up walking up to the waitor to pay, since no one cared. The person who took the payment was rude, and cold. Probably won't return due to inadequate service received. The person who took the order was polite...

Cannot wait to return to London and go back to this special restaurant. Wonderful service from start to finish, delicious food, and a great wine recommendation. Perfect intimate dinner out in London, and on a secluded quiet street in a busy neighborhood east to get to using public transportation.

Beware sharp practice over wine !This is a shame because the food was lovely, but we had a bad experience over the wine - we were trying to decide whether to have 1 carafe or 2, & the waiter said that we would be better off getting a bottle of wine, so we did. Part way through the meal he said that he hoped that we were enjoying our £1000 bottle of wine, which I took as a joke, but did slightly concern me; but when I got the bill I found we had been charged £64 for a bottle whereas 2 carafes would have been £30 ! (we never saw a wine list, & of course I should have asked, but we thought we were OK following the waiter's advice, so just be careful ! & enjoy the food which was lovely)
Its first and lasting impression is that it is cafe environment with minimal fixtures .The food was uninspiring to say the least and embarrassingly my guest ordered pasta with mushrooms and could only find one mushroom in the sauce. Needless to say it was tasteless . He should have sent it back . My sea bass was small and balanced on a pile of potatoes and other veg and thus unremarkable .We shared a sticky toffee pudding which was below average in both size and flavour Sadly despite the reputation we shall never be going back .

We went for a pre concert meal so arrived early at 6.15pm and the place was quiet but the staff were welcoming and attentive. The pre-theatre menu was perfect and the choice of gluten free items was good (I have coeliac disease). The waiter was reassuring checking what I had chosen was gluten free. Everything was delicious and we both enjoyed our meal.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. In the centre of the West end, yet hidden away from the bustle of the crowds. It's one of those places that you don't want other people to find out about because you always want to be able to book a table, BUT you must share the love in order for the restaurant to thrive The food is sensational, best Steak Tartare i've ever had, and the sweetcorn risotto was a delight.. I would normally order the steak but I thought I would try something i wouldn't ordinarily order. Alas, I was too full for a desert.The service and the ambience is perfect too. As an often a lone diner, I always appreciate when I encounter no problems in booking a table for one, so thank you. Their prixe fixe menu is superb value, and as someone who finishes at 16:00 it is always advantageous to order from it. I only had sparkling water with mint and lemon to drink in a wine glass and I'm grateful they accommodated my request for it with no fuss, but I hope when I have less busy weeks to enjoy their alcohol too.Really happy to have find this lovely venue⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
