Trish FrizzellFebruary 19, 2015The calamari is lovely, fresh and light. The penne carbonara (which I chose to have with spaghetti instead) has a lovely tang to it and the crispy bacon gives it a nice crunch.
Sarah HDecember 8, 2014Really surprised by all the bad reviews for the place, I've been a few times & always had a great meal with great service! Recently got free birthday prosecco & cake too, nice touch!
Tammy GordonJune 3, 2012Had a great server - enjoyed the house wine, tuna stuffed sweet peppers and the rabbit taglioni. I like that you can get half portions of the pasta. Was perfect to match with some greens.
Paweł CzerwonkaMay 6, 2013Be sure to get wood planks of apetizers either meat or vege, there are some amazing flavours. After dinner their Bellini coctail is of the hook, best one I've ever had!
Dinos GVAugust 13, 2015Lovely place, nice atmosphere, good service, the planks are very good, generally food is ok and the prices are not too bad.
Giles PerksNovember 11, 2011I dont know what everyone is on about, been 3 times in 2 weeks and had truly excellent service every time + everything I've eaten has been very good. Way above average for its price point
Hannah ParvazAugust 30, 20176/10 experience. They have vegan ice creams and sorbets, but limited vegan mains. Tomato soup is good and thickened with bread.
Bryce LowrySeptember 25, 2011Great food, except the fish stew which didn't show up for work tonight. The stand in steak replacement came lightning fast tho. Jamies next book - 3 minute sorry meals
Caroline HennoApril 23, 2014Great food... very Jamie. ;-) I love it!!! It could have been could if the waitress was a bit more frindly.
Florie RoudetSeptember 4, 2011Simple food with great ingredients - try the baked mushrooms as a starter. Very food service. My only criticism is that the place gets noisy very quickly...
Zsofia PappMay 2, 2015Italian steak and the red wine from Montepulciano😋 and it's quick and the waiters are always friendly
Bert BorremansOctober 14, 2016Good basic Italian food. Noisy, but good wines. Try the sauvignon blanc!
Sam DuffyMay 24, 2013I was nervous about eating here after reviews on service, but on a busy Friday night service was friendly & attentive. Maybe they read their reviews and did something about it. Or maybe we got lucky!
Checker GeorgeMarch 6, 2018Don‘t understand the Bad rating, we had a great evening with amazing delicous food. Jamie was on the same day here 😛.
Good place if you've got kids in prams, loads of room to park them up next to your table.
Great place to come after an evening in Sadlers wells. Good set menu for dinner
Amer TurkistaniMarch 24, 2014The service is actually pretty good, the prices are not higher than expected and the food has a fantastic presentation and taste
Frederik SamuelSeptember 1, 2011Simply delicious food. I actually wan to try everything on the menu. Great new addition to the area.
Sia LeApril 16, 2015Consistent quality with other Jamie's. Lacks atmosphere a little despite new decor but the food is good.
Jon FosterMarch 18, 2012Posh chips and ice cream. 2 of the best foodstuffs available in London. Don't have to be consumed together.
Jennifer Sarah Yg.January 3, 2014Good atmosphere, good food, staff/ service could really be better... They were not exactly attentive. Some of them were also rude (one of the hostess)
Steve WallApril 25, 2012Order a meat plate. Comes on a block of wood between two tin cans. Rustic and authentic as fuck. Taste.
Tom MorrisJanuary 3, 2013Oh my, the pumpkin and mozzarella nachos are superb! Roll on the main course...
Miguel UseraApril 23, 2014The food is good but the service not so good - we've asked several times for them to close the door that was on the side of our table, and they didn't. Unbelievable for such a high standard restaurant
Chris BrowneNovember 8, 2012Every since 4sq updated their rating algorithm, the rating for this place has gone up from it's shit 4/10 to it's good 8/10. Me thinks a mistake has been made as this chain restaurant is proper shit.
Jessica GillApril 25, 2015Slow service. Ordered more drinks when food came but when we were done, they still hadn't come. Carbonara pasta was overcooked. LARGE drink menu but couldn't order other mixed drink. Might not return.
Peter WooNovember 27, 2011Great food, however HORRIBLE SERVICE. The person who stated this Jamie has good service is clearly mistaken..
Francisco Huguenin UhlfelderDecember 4, 2011jamie forever. nice crew. atmosphere perfect. make yours... then tell...
Sarah YapApril 21, 2012Service at the restaurant was pretty decent. Bar service doesn't exist, order at the bar and take it to the table yourself. Cheesecake yum. Everything else pretty average.
Natalia ZJuly 27, 2013Zero hurries. Food takes time, seems cooked fresh. Service was only daydreaming: 10 waiters, all chatting between them, leaving customers unattended. The BREAD wasn't fresh, came COLD from the fridge.
Last time I will ever eat here. Service slower than a ageing sloth, food colder than before it was cooked, when it finally arrived, wine ordered but never arrived, bill incorrect & no apology. POOR.- I think the place is going down hill. Food is becoming more than average. Service is non attentive. Go elsewhere would be my advice.
- Benjamin BennettJanuary 15, 2012Bar service incredibly slow (was same in the one in Westfield) table service also very slow, Waitress was friendly. starters came out before our wine. Bread never came.

"I always go mid-week and it's a pretty pleasant experience. The seats are comfy and the screen and sound quality is excellent. A little overpriced but then so is everywhere in London."
Bobby - 6.3
