    I love Balthazar for its excellent consistency all year round but its Christmas Prix Fixe (plus carafe of wine) is such good value and a really lovely Christmas buzz!

    Really enjoyed the pre 7 meal deal , excellent value and nice food , would have been 5 but I think an extra potato and one additional slice of turkey would be perfect

    The venue and staff are fabulous and the food is amazing. It always feels like an occasion there and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes it can feel a bit rushed, & the reason for your visit can be missed from your booking request - so just tell then when you arrive. I will always go back as it’s one of my favourite restaurants!

    Beautiful venue, intimate and warm setting. Server forgot our bread (which we paid for) until after the appetizers came out which was a bit pointless. Steaks are good quality. The tables are very close together.
