Oriole - (Near Westminster, london)

5 /5 Karolina Sokolowska: I chose this place to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from our very first interaction with customer service to the end of the evening, it was an amazing experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the main course (the pork chops) was fairly average, everything else was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, as I didn’t expect this place to offer such high-quality food. The drinks menu was diverse and unique, with plenty of options to choose from, including wines and other beverages. The live music was another highlight of the night—it really enhanced the atmosphere and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys live music and great food. The photos online truly don’t do it justice.

3 /5 Nimish Oliapuram: The cocktails here are excellent. Especially, loved those form the Africa section. The food dishes were mostly misses. The charred octopus was a bit too rubbery and the ceviche and pork chops were okayish as well. The trout was excellent! Also, the tres leches is the perfect dessert to share. We were looking forward to the solo pianist jazz performance but it lacked the NYC jazz vibes we were looking for. Much more subdued and more conducive to dates to chat as he performed. Nothing to complain but just not the vibe we were looking forward to.

5 /5 Ruxandra Calin: Came here for the first time to see Gypsy Dynamite (duo) live, and this place served! Grateful for all the kind and attentive staff (our water glasses were constantly filled and it was easy to get hold of our servers when we needed them). We only had drinks and some snacks - cocktails are very special and the live music was great! The downstairs atmosphere is super jazzy and we are so glad we found this place! Since we came for live music, our bill included the fee for that as well.

5 /5 Harley Titchener: Great food, great drinks, friendly, professional and very attentive service with really nice live music as well. I had been to Oriole quite a while back but only for the drinks and the music so wasn’t sure what the food would be like, it hugely exceeded my expectations. The small bite starters were nice (particularly they warmed bread, padron peppers and the truffle hash browns). The larger plates were all excellent! I particularly liked the steak, the venison tartar, the beetroot and the pheasant. The cocktails are very impressive too. All delivered swiftly and with a smile. Great work!

5 /5 Olga Carroll: Popped into Oriole Bar for a long overdue catch up with my friend. We had a tiny hiccup at the start since our pre booked table seemed to be on its own little adventure, but the team swooped in, parked us at the bar with a smile and sorted everything quickly. Once seated, everything just clicked. The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe was spot on and the service was genuinely fantastic. One of those evenings where a rocky start turns into a brilliant night out. Would definitely go back.
