5 /5 Joel Pagett: I recently had an amazing evening at Rockwell Bistro & Wine Bar in The Trafalgar St James with a group of friends.
The space itself is stunning, offering an opulent feel the moment you walk through the entrance. The restaurant focuses on a small plates concept, which we absolutely loved, allowing us to try a wide variety of dishes. Between the four of us, we ordered a range of 3 plates each, and they were all fantastic and very flavoursome. They also offer an extensive cocktail and wine list to complement the food perfectly.
The only small comment on the food is that while everything was delicious, it was also very rich. It would be nice to see some simpler salads and sides added to the menu to go alongside the dishes and cut through some of that richness - but this is only very minor!
The service was very friendly, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. When we visited on a Saturday night, they had a live DJ which created a great vibe without being overly loud, so we could still enjoy conversation.
It was a truly wonderful dining experience and I would certainly recommend it if youre looking for dinner and drinks in London.
