Everytime we asked a question, he didn't have an answer. He didn't inform us of items that were out of stock until after we ordered them. He knew nothing about the wine list. And worst of all, we found out our show had been cancelled last-minute and we were trying to scramble for alternate plans, yet it seemed like he was rushing us out of the place despite the place being half empty. The building is beautiful, the wine list is solid, and the food we did have was alright -- definitely not among the best in London, but solid for the theatre district, which is full of tourist traps. But the service was truly *awful*, so I would not recommend it.

We happened upon Le Garrick and they were able to seat us fairly quickly in a quiet corner downstairs. We were happy to discover one of the best meals we had on our trip to London! We started with the goat cheese salad, which really hit the spot. It was a hot, humid day, and the salad was fresh and bright. Hubby had the salmon with ratatouille, which he loved. I had a perfectly medium rare ribeye with bearnaise, crispy frites and haricots verts. We enjoyed slow dining in our quiet little corner with our hearty, flavorful, perfectly prepared meals. We will definitely return to Le Garrick on our next trip to London. We loved the rustic, cozy feel of the dining room and the outstanding customer service. I have to add I was surprised that the restaurant was not nearly as pricey as I thought it was going to be.

My absolute fav was the leek. It was so simple yet the flavor combo rly elevated it to a whole another level.

They went out of their way to make forthright suggestions about items and the wines by the glass. The winner was the pea and mint soup.

It's the sort of place where you could sit and let the hours pass as you look at the cafe windows and the passersby.

We came here for afternoon tea and it was one of my favorite things to do in London! The food and…read moreservice were both excellent, and honestly you can't beat the price point. We made reservations at 3pm but it seemed like they had several other tables available for walk-in. The server asked if this was our first time for high tea (not sure if this is protocol or if we were dripping with American vibes). Either way, they were great at walking us through everything to make sure we didn't have any questions. The table settings and overall vibe made me feel like we were super fancy! I ordered the Egyptian Chamomile tea and my husband ordered the Earl Gray. The menu had descriptions of the types of teas which can help you pick out what you'd like. I think we both liked my Chamomile better with a tad of sugar which was on the table. We happened to visit during the Chelsea Flower Show time, so they had 2 different types of specialty desserts- we ordered one of each. The sandwiches were all delicious- I loved the salmon and my husband wanted to ask for the Coronation Chicken Salad recipe. The scones were out of this world, and I have a new favorite food called clotted cream. The desserts were so, so good and had a little bit of everything- chocolate, tarts, fruity...you'll find something you like! To be quite frank, we did our due diligence with finding a place to have high tea. There were some that were almost twice as expensive as this place, and I have a hard time believing they would have been twice as good. If you're looking for a simple afternoon tea experience, make sure to add this to your short list. Brasserie Max is elegant, simple, and delicious- highly recommended!

Nice spot, quality food!…read more Reservations made online a couple weeks in advance for 3 of us on a Saturday at 5pm. Plenty of tables open. Server was pretty on it but took us a while to get our check at the end, though that might be a cultural thing in the UK? He came once we flagged him. Easy to get there by tube. Very busy, very loud. I started with the Springtime Garden cocktail (£13.5), it was refreshing, and light but almost too light (and I'm a lightweight) I got the Duo of Lamb (£27) and it was great, got it pink (not well done) and it came out perfectly, 4.5 stars. I mentioned a squid allergy, and they took it very very seriously, giving me a digital menu that was filtered but what has crustaceans or is exposed to crustaceans, and my food had a little green flag with a toothpick marking it as allergen free to me. It was unnecessary, I told them I can pick it out of a dish and still eat it, but the gesture was appreciated. My group enjoyed their Butterflied Sea Bass (£28) and Risotto Verde (£19). My portion of the meal came to £45.28 total.

I wanted to try this because if it's proximity to the West End theater locations. Initially arriving at 5:45 PM without a reservation, the only tables available with the outside café tables. Thinking quickly, I while at the outside table perusing the menu. I brought up the restaurant website and noticed there was a reservation available within 15 minutes of the time we arrived so I went ahead and tried booking it. After mentioning it to our server and checking with the manager, they graciously reseated us inside at our new comfortable table. I think some of the selections have been simplified in order to moderate cost of each item. For example, the escargot is served sans shells. The duck over moose is tasty, but not as rich as a true pate. The braised calves liver was excellent as was the duck breast salad, dauphinois potatoes and haricot vert green beans with almonds. A classic tarte tatin, and a raspberry crème brûlée capped off a wonderful impromptu meal. I'm glad for the service accommodation, so do note. It's best to make reservations before planning to come here to ensure availability as it is a quite popular place because of its pricing. The prix fixe menu has about 75% of the full à la carte menu. But they always give you the option of adding anything you would like as an à la carte item so never feel like you are limited to one or the other menus.

Chicken Ballontine- 3.2/5- chicken was pretty good, came with some kind of pasta and vegetable mix that was very oily. Pretty small dish. Pomme Purree- 4.2/5- very good, no complaints at all, reasonable price. On the google menu they had chicken paillard, which was not on the menu for dinner.
