    We had pizza which was fantastic and fish & chips which was ok. Service wasn't that great, possibility because it was busy when we went.

    WOW, this place is delicious!…read more Our family stopped in London for the last part of our cruise. After touring St. Paul's Cathedral, we were pretty hungry. We found The Fat Bear via Yelp!, and decided to give it a try. There were so many things on the menu that looked really good, but I had been craving chicken and waffles. The waffles were crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside -- the chicken, cooked perfectly, too. The syrup they serve it with is incredible. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in London! Carson C. Visalia, California

    I felt a bit like a genius because I was choosing a place for several friends to meet up and we all…read morewanted different things. I wanted something with at least one good veggie option, they wanted something with meat, and it had to be somewhere in-between Camden and Canary Wharf, not too pricey, and ideally close to the city because otherwise our Italian friend probably wouldn't make it. And lo and behold.... THE FAT BEAR!!! It was all we wanted and more! This place is sort of tucked away and up some stairs above a pub. It's really just a room and a half, which makes it super cozy and they have a pretty awesome looking bar. It's got warm lighting which makes the atmosphere really nice. Their cocktails were delightful and the service was excellent. I will make a very strange observation that someone working there had a very drunk friend who just sort of made herself at home. Then more joined and it turned into me watching this table of really really drunk people trying to order food. Two of them ended up just falling asleep. It was super strange. Anyway, me being distracted aside, I really loved the cocktail I ordered- Sloe Boat To China, and everyone else seemed happy with theirs. I was dying to try the pimiento cheese starter and the fried pickles. The cheese was particularly sharp and delicious. The pickles were good, but quite skinny (I mean come on, you're in an American restaurant I was expecting some serious pickles). The vegan gumbo was super spicy and delicious. I was impressed and enjoyed it. My husband dropped the ball and ordered the regular jambalaya (with sausage) rather than the seafood one which broke my heart a little bit, because I really wanted to try it. You know, I guess that means we'll just have to come back. Oh also another bonus, this place has brisket which is really hard to find. I can't say how it tastes but my friend said he defo approves (am I becoming more British with these words, or just more annoying?) Anyway, to finish it off I had the oreo cheesecake which the bomb. I love oreos. And it tasted like oreo. So all was right with the world. A wonderful place to come if you have people who want to try American food, or if you have out of town Americans who are too scared to try other food, or if you have hungry friends that want to try cajun food, or if you just want to try some really yummy food.

    The Alchemist was literally at the bottom of our Airbnb, making it incredibly convenient--and I'm…read moreso glad we stopped in. The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

    This place was a quick walk from our hotel and we went on the strength of all these Yelp reviews…read morebut, frankly, we were disappointed. My husband thought this place was like a TGIFriday's (remember them?) trying very hard to be cool... His Smoky Old Fashioned was VERY sweet while my French Kiss drink was just the right amount of sweet but the silicone tongue that came with it WAS too much. (And I think most everything a restaurant serves should be edible.) There were two tables nearby that got drinks that came on fancy lit up pedestal things, which we were hoping for, too. But, no... And then the food: Also reminiscent of TGIFriday's. Meh. The interior is cool and the framed prints on the walls were great. Service, from one of the managers no less, was very attentive.

    Bottom-line: while maybe average to its American traditional bbq counterpart , Boudean's is…read moreprobably as good as it gets for London. Ordered the half baby back ribs, fries and slaw. Baby back ribs: not necessarily fall of the bone type of ribs, but if you give it a good tug , some of the meats will slide off its axis. I enjoyed it for what it's worth. Obviously, the smoker is limited in scope , so I'm not expecting Texas style quality. Was a little chewy in some places, but also tender in others. Had a preference for the chiptole bbq sauce rather than the hickory. Fries were mostly good (minus the tiny bits). So close to the meats, the fries absorbed some of the smokiness flavor. Slaw: low-point of the bbq. They used way, way, too much dressing. Like it was flooded. Also the cabbage wasn't cut finely, but presented as whole chunk slices. Would definitely not recommend this one. Overall minus the slaw, I enjoyed Bodean's

Sticky fingers were not my favorite so may avoid that appetizer choice. Dined with a group of 35 and they were able to accommodate us in their basement dining area with a call ahead. Wait staff was pleasant although took a minute to get that much food out and had to ask for drink refills, but overall would surely return.

    My wife and I were in town celebrating our 45th Anniversary. We heard about the Flat Iron Steak in…read moreSoHo and had to check it out. This place was amazing as they said it would be! We were greeted by Maris and told that the queue would be about 20 minutes. We were then seated shortly and served with a tin cup of popcorn (complimentary) as a treat to whet your appetite...Then our server-Ida proceeded to the explain the specials on the menu for us. We ordered the ribeye special for 2 cooked MR. The steak was seared perfectly and the meat was tender and flavorful . Accompanying this meal was the rich mushroom sauce and the Creamed spinach and the Garlicky mashed potatoes made the meal even more delicious. At the end of the meal we were treated with a soft serve ice cream. What a great treat to finish off an excellent meal! From the hospitality and the service and the great food......This place is Top Shelf!!!

    We were able to walk in and wait about 30 minutes for a table for 3 on a friday night…read more They give you a mug of popcorn to start. Menu is VERY simple. Flat iron steak or burger plus handful of sides. Then on your way out, you get a scoop of ice cream on a cone or in a cup- vanilla soft serve with choco powder. Tasty and different! The flatiron steak cooked medium rare was SO GOOD. and you get a cute butcher's knife to cut it with instead of a normal steak knife. Truffle mac and cheese- SO GOOD. the breadcrumbs with the truff sauce... YUM. Eggplant veggie side- red sauce with lots of flavor, also tasty Garlic mashed potatoes- very garlicy, great with breadcrumbs. Yum Overall we loved the food, it was amazing And not badly priced! 15 british pounds for each steak plus about 5 pounds for each side
