    Generally it was a disappointing experience. Even though we made the reservation for three, the table we've been offered was far too small and there were plates and utensils for two. When we pointed it out, we've been shown to a table with three plates, which was exactly the same size as the previous one. No thanks to the first waiter, but our insistence that he won't be able to fit main courses, wine glasses, wine bottle all the other stuff on the table, we requested to talk with a superior, Stefan, who was kind enough to assist us to a bigger table, then we started to enjoy our night. The streak frites was a huge disappointment, the meat was really poor even though Stefan made everything in his power to cover it up, but the meat's taste was far from the softness and juiciness we've been expected from a place like Balthazar. Far from the experience we were hoping to get, to be frank, but we're grateful that at least one of the waiters were kind enough to cover all the negatives of the night.

    My daughter and I came for lunch. We ended up being early for our reservations and the ladies were so kind and accommodating to seat us early! The fresh bread was soft and delicious, I loved the oysters & steak tartar while my daughter’s steak frites was cooked perfectly to her rare liking! The onion soup was so flavorful and perfect for a cold rainy London day. We were so happy and full when we left. We will be back again and again!

    Arrived to see disappointed people being turned away. Glad I booked! Welcomed warmly, with an almost apologetic reminder that the table was due back after 90 mins - which was fine as we had tickets the matinee at the Opera house a few mins away. Nice Sunday brunch available but went for the regular items for something to get through a fabulous 4 hour Opera. French onion soup hit the spot (although it was too good and I slightly burnt my mouth on the delicious melty cheese!!) Roast chicken chasseur was a comfort classic to add to the soup. Only time for a coffee before dashing to the performance. There is a buzz to the place that was surprising for a Sunday (well for me at least as I don't hit the west end at this time on a Sunday normally!) and the staff were warm and professional that was the cherry on top of this great meal out!

    Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere but I didn’t like the way in which we were hurried over dinner. Bringing the bill without even asking for it because the table was needed wasn’t great.
