The Original Ivy, West End - (Near Westminster, london)

David Stephens These are my views based on my experience The moment we arrived we could see this is a well run restaurant. Our drinks and meals were excellent, good portions and well priced. All the team were polite and helpful. The only let down were the toilets, they need to be checked more often, I used them once and it was a mess, tissues allover the floor and wash bowls. My wife said the same about the ladies toilets too. I did notice the downstairs dinning area, so bigger gatherings are well catered for. Thank you all at Cote, we will be back.

Iris Peng i had such a delightful experience here! - friendly and fast service. since everything is already prepared, you just get a box, order, and youre good to go. the woman managing the store was so nice - the food is also so good. very wholesome, tasty dishes with unique combinations of ingredients.

Tuxedo Mask One of the best experiences Ive had in London dinning. We were seated quickly despite the crowd and the busy environment. Free popcorn of course and the food arrived within minutes of ordering which was perfect, no long waits. The steak was beautiful and so flavourful. We ordered sides as well and it complimented the steak really well. I would highly recommend ordering the mashed potatoes, honestly one of the best Ive had in a restaurant. The drinks were amazing and overall I was really happy and impressed. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were very attentive to us. And of course, free ice cream at the end. 100% recommend Flat Iron

Jacy Garland Highly recommended! We had the most incredible night at House of Louie. We started in the Japanese restaurant on the lower floor, then moved upstairs to the French restaurant, and finished in the Alligator Lounge… and ended up staying all night. The food in both restaurants was outstanding, and the cocktails were some of the best we’ve had in London — beautifully made and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Every space has its own amazing ambience that flows perfectly together, so the whole evening feels like an experience rather than just dinner. The live music was simply beautiful , a pianist sang and played creating at atmosphere like no other. Very unique and special. Such a special place. Can’t wait to come back!

Natasha We walked in without a booking but this didn’t matter as we were immediately welcomed by our wonderful server Anuja. I had the chicken Pad Thai and duck spring rolls as a side, both tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Vinicius Santos A Well-Executed Pre-Theatre Experience at Cora Pearl The décor is relaxed and intimate, complemented by soft background music that creates a warm, understated atmosphere. Expectations were high, especially as Cora Pearl has been ranked by the Michelin Guide as the best pre-theatre dining spot in London. We visited as a family of four and arrived about ten minutes before our pre-theatre reservation; our table was already ready, which was a great start. My parents both chose the three-course pre-theatre menu: potatoes with cod roe to start, pork steak for the main, and the After Eight crémeux for dessert. I had the butternut squash with coconut cream as a starter—the cream was thicker than I expected, but still very rich and delicious—followed by the wild sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke velouté, salsify, and bergamot. Overall, the food was excellent: well executed, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. We shared a bottle of Riesling and I ordered the Cheeky Peach cocktail, as the restaurant is known for its cocktails. Both were enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. The Parmesan fries, however, were outstanding and easily a highlight of the meal. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, although service did slow down a little during busier moments. That said, it didn’t detract significantly from an otherwise very enjoyable pre-theatre experience.
