    Food was excellent, service was subpar. Imagine being served your dinner over your shoulder 😳. I enjoy good service and despite the good food, I think the poor service was enough to encourage me NOT to recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent food and very attentive service. Just a little on the expensive side but it is London so to be expected.

    Great service and atmosphere. Oysters were fresh and so good. Very disappointed with the steak sandwich, bread wasn’t fresh and it was super cold…don’t understand that, serving a hot sandwich filling in cold almost stale bread! And the steak was chewy, had to eat it with a knife and fork, no picking up and biting that sandwich! Was really disappointed as was so looking forward to a good steak sarnie!

    First time at this restaurant for a few years. I took a client here for lunch. Really liked the menu. For starters I had the goats cheese and figs which was very good and the walnuts were amazing, sweet and chewy with a crunch. For mains we both had the steak sandwich. The steak was very chewy and not very good quality. We did bring it to the attention of the waiter but nothing else happened which was disappointing.

    Hi James, Thank you for sharing your feedback—we appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the goat's cheese and figs starter, we’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to the kitchen team! That said, we’re very sorry to hear about your disappointment with the steak sandwich. We always aim to serve dishes of the highest quality. Sorry that the issue wasn’t addressed properly when you brought it to the waiter’s attention. This isn’t the level of service we strive for, and we’ll be reviewing this with the team to ensure better communication and responsiveness moving forward. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future, as we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience. kind regards Paternoster

    Good food, lovely location but 3 steaks and a fish n chips took 85 min from ordering. Constantly out of water. It was only about 70% full.

    I enjoyed an excellent lunch here. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff remained attentive and provided fantastic service. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with flavourful sides that, while a bit small, complemented the meal well. Overall, a wonderful experience—I look forward to returning soon!
