    I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

    Pre theatre dinner - seated in the ‘front’ room which had a lovely relaxed ambience. It’s really fun to watch all the denizens of Soho walking past! Theatre menu was ridiculously good value at £25 per person with the quality (and quantity!) of food being excellent. Slight confusion with the wine that was handled very well by the manager. Highly recommended.

    We chose to eat at NoMad prior to taking in a show in the west end. The meal was fantastic, staff attentive and if we had to criticise, we would say the alcohol was slightly overpriced. Would we return, absolutely

    It's been a great experience and I can only recommend it. I didn't give 5 stars in all categories because there are so many brilliant restaurants in London and I'm very critical. So, I'm 100% confident that people do appreciate experiencing their visit to this great place.
