They have a daily menu including a hot main, a soup as well as a tart served with or without salad. You have to be quick for the salads (currently a selection of two, here's hoping they'll add more soon). There's also a good choice of sandwiches, all reasonably priced. There's plenty of seating and free wifi (not the best connection, mind).

After spending £200 on our bill we all stood up to take a family photo at another part of the restaurant before leaving but the owner ran into the photo telling us we were disturbing the other diners (the ones closest to us insisted we were not) and made a bit of an embarrassing scene where one didn't exist. Whilst this was fine and what he said may have had merit, his attitude was pretty poor and egotistical and we left disappointed overall from what would have been a pleasant experience otherwise. In summary, come for the food, stay for the glitzy atmosphere, but avoid the management at all costs.

Every now and again, one comes across a restaurant that's worth not eating much in the daytime for…read more Ah, here's one. I found this place because I was invited to attend a Qype event here and try out the menu. Looking at the prices I would say that the value / tasty ratio is favourable and this place is going straight into my Good Value Grub guide once I've penned this missive to you, gentle foodie reader. I say, old bean, walking into the Commonwealth Kitchen felt like I was being allowed into a rather swanky, yet (thank goodness) relaxed old members' club. Don't worry, one don't have to dress up too much, all the same I was glad I didn't have one's Three Keyboard Cat Moon t-shirt on. One could even rock a cocktail dress here. The contemporary-designed dining area is part of the Commonwealth Club situated just next door to the Sherlock Holmes pub, and a couple of minute's walk from Nelson's Column. Right. You will need a couple of hours to get the best out of this place, it's a destination dinner as opposed to a transient one you'd gobble down on the way to the cinema. You will also need to make sure to wear loose clothing. Initial thoughts were on how friendly the staff were, and their willingness to change what I had to accommodate the fact that I don't eat seafood was greatly appreciated. I called it a very unshellfish act. Puns aside, my broccoli veloute was a smooth and shiny soup which had a pleasing texture and fresh flavour. I then had the monkfish with baby gem foam and savoy cabbage, but the standout for me was the butternut squash risotto, which probably counts among the top 5 risottos I've had in my life. The other winner was the palate cleanser after the main course, a blood orange and candied ginger sorbet. This was delicious, despite the fact I don't really like blood orange or candied ginger. Of course I had room for dessert, which was duly stuffed in along with the rest of the banquet. So, here's a place where you can dress how you like, like eating stuff you might not like - and - like the food, like the decor and if you have good company (like I did), you'll like the entire evening. What's not to like?

It's very easy to walk past this restaurant, as from the outside you'd have no idea that it housed…read morea bar and place to eat. I imagine this is because a lot of members clubs deliberately want to hide themselves, so only the select few know where they are. Luckily for us The Commonwealth Club's kitchen is now open to the public and it's a great place to enjoy some extremely well presented and tasty food in a light and airy non crowded environment. You feel as though you're in one of the more accessible private member's clubs, with very attentive service and attention to detail, but without having to pay for the privilege of joining. Monkfish with orzo pasta was wonderful (although I probably could have done with a larger portion), but that wouldn't have left room for the very well cooked venison & pretty tasty apple cake with blackberry variations which followed. One of the better combinations of Apple & Blackberry (although a tech partnership of mobile handsets did come to mind). The dessert came with a standout glass of sweet cider which was a real eye opener (or should that be tongue opener) for me, as I'm not a fan of cider. I was kindly treated to a meal here as part of a Qype Guru event, but having looked at the prices on the menu, I'd definitely return, as it's very affordable for the standard of food & general ambience.

I used to get poutine from here but the stall has been gone for some time now. This visit I just got one thing - bao from Le Bao (very tasty, but at £4 for a single bun, never going to be more than an occasional snack). There's also a variety of stalls at the entrance selling things like jewellery and kids clothes. A sweet little market overall, but it does get busy. Definitely don't skip popping in on your visit to Broadway Market!

As it's in a prime location, on a boat(!), in the river(!), I thought it would be super touristy, surviving off online offers, etc. My first visit was for a girls lunch. We had afternoon tea with bubbles! The finger sandwiches were nice - there was beef, cucumber and egg may and ham and mustard, a lot of nice cakes and freshly made scones. They had their bottoms cut off and when we asked about them (as we were curious), the staff apologised and said it was because they were slightly burnt and we were offered a bottle of prosecco! There was definitely enough food! My second visit was just a few weeks ago. We went for the lunch menu. We had Gratin of Baby Leeks, Quail Egg, Parmesan Crisp, Watercress and Mustard Dressing, Langoustine with Chili and Lemon Butter, Toasted Sourdough, and Smoked Haddock Fish Cake, Parsley Sauce to start and then for mains we ordered the Fish and Chips and Slow Roasted Pork Belly Garlic & Fennel, Slaw. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted REAL good but not as memorable as the fish and chips. The fish and chips was REALLY good. It was so fresh and the fish was really well seasoned. It was huge but not too much batter and the batter wasn't overly greasy either. I could SO eat that again! The service was brilliant both times. The staff are smiley and friendly. The setting in the restaurant is beautiful although the toilets need a little updating. Beware that the river can be a bit choppy on windy days. Worth visiting if you want a slightly special lunch!

The service is good, but not warm - like the dining room itself it was cold, yet competent. They promise two courses in 30 minutes for 16 quid and if it takes longer, it's free. The menu looks great, but only if you eat meat or fish - there was only one vegetarian option, and I managed to pick this restaurant for my vegetarian friend! Luckily she liked it, but they were unwilling to consider making any other options. It was ok, but I won't be going back there again, apart from anything else, it was so bloody cold that I still haven't warmed up!

I had the fish and chips, which was absolutely delicious. Also at my table was scallops, lamb, and more. The quality of the food was very high. Service was good, and they accommodated my party of 7 easily, with plenty of room for us all (not to mention at last-minute notice)l. Chairs are very comfy. They said they are adding outdoor seating some time in the future, which would be good. I thought my dish was amazing: fresh and filling, but not greasy at all. Highly recommend it for the work lunch crowd. My group was very impressed. The very reasonable prices, especially for this area, pushes this to 5 stars for me.

A friend suggested The Laundry for a catch-up Sunday roast...and as I'm always willing to try new…read moreplaces, I thought it seemed like a decent place(despite my apprehension about only 2 menu items...lamb or veggie). We arrived, and immediately our drink orders were taken...although it did take quite awhile to get the drinks. However, my £9 Bloody Mary was pretty tasty...spicy and strong. As there were only 2 options for food...ordering decisions were made pretty quickly. One thing I found a bit odd though, was if you decide when you order your meal that you want dessert too...it's a £1 cheaper. I'm not really a fan of having to decide if I want dessert before I've even touched my meal. When the food came out, it was very pretty...however it seemed like a pretty small portion for £16. Luckily, I'm a meat eater, so I got a nice hunk of very tender lamb, but my friend who is a veggie, had to make do with a couple mushrooms(although she said they were very good). I also had one, lone brussel sprout on my plate...although that was better than a friend who had 1/2 a brussel sprout. It almost seemed like the food was there to look pretty, rather than to eat....either that or a tasting menu. Regardless, all of the food was really nice...delicious flavors...and to be fair, I wasn't hungry when I finished. A few people in my party got dessert. What looked like a slop of chocolate mess, with green ice cream...ended up being really nice. A chocolate mousse of sorts, with green tea ice cream and bits of pineapple. It looked a bit odd...but tasted good. All-in-all, I would recommend The Laundry. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was good, and the food tasty. Just be prepared to spend a bit more than you might want...and if you are a vegetarian, maybe eat a snack before you go. Or if you are super picky about food, call beforehand to see what's on the menu, since there are only 2 options. I certainly won't eat here on a regular basis, but a great place for a special occasion.

Went here for their New Years Eve party…read more The ticket price was pretty high for what the venue provided. DJ was okay altho musics were a bit of a snore 90's leftovers - and even then, some of the most generic 90's musics around. I expected more from London. The droves of kids on drugs were just fine with the playlists. They need 2-3 more bars for the venue size. They couldn't really well serve the 1000+ patrons. They also need for bathrooms to support an event of this size. All in all I was happy to be out of London City Centre for New Years - and hey it could have been worse! My main letdown was the music. Free foto booth was a +. At some point people had vomited in the ball pit and they didn't shut it down :/ Seems someone popped the bounce house halfway thru the night. I realize the venue and the promoter using the space for the new years party are separate - this is my experience for NYE only.
