    Food was ok. Starters…soups ok. Beetroot..felt like it was straight out of a jar..not pleasant. Mains…Sea Bream and cod were beautifully cooked. The steak and lamb were overcooked. Desserts…all very good. We ordered glasses of port to finish with our server…whilst waiting…another senior manager said our time was up and we needed to vacate our table. We said we had ordered ports…she didn’t look best pleased. I know a busy time of year, I knew there was a time limit..we were 15 minutes inside this limit however. There is absolutely no excuse to bang down the glasses on the table. Totally unforgivable imo. We shouldn’t have paid the service charge in all honesty. It did tarnish the night…which was a family celebration. We won’t be returning.

    TOURIST TRAP!! Extremely disappointing. Poor service, steak frites was all grizzle and not a proper entrecôte. Overpriced. Go to The Ivy instead and skip this place.

    Great experience taking my work team for dinner. Food was amazing, service was great. Everyone raved about the food they ordered, great location in the heart of Covent Garden. Will definitely book again.

    We looked forward to our reservation at Balthazar since we have dined at the NYC location and it was delicious, but that was not the case for the London location. The service was just OK, the food was not good, especially for the prices. When we told the manager when leaving the restaurant that we were disappointed with our meals, he said to leave a review and sometime the kitchen is on and sometime they are off. Save your money and time!

    We were four and came for brunch Sunday. Sadly, the food was disappointing, and overpriced. The poached eggs were overcooked, muffins not fresh/ toasted, all quite tasteless. The lobster tail Mac and cheese was very disappointing. The one exceptionally good dish was a dessert, Paris Brest. Fortunately, our waiter was very charming and efficient.
