The staff are super friendly and helpful. The setting is very romantic, tables are mostly lit by candlelights. Decor is simple with French chandeliers, and Wall Arts. We tried the late and goat cheese salad for starters, both were excellent and perfect for three people to share. Highly recommend the pate... we had the cheese fondue for the table for dinner and it was the best fondue I have ever had. They use three cheeses in their fondue and white wine. It was a perfect mixture. For dessert we spilt the profiteroles and you can't go wrong. An evening of wine, cheese and chocolate is heaven on earth.

We stumbled on this place when on our way to the Marleybone area. It looked so quaint and peaceful…read morethat we decided to stop for lunch. What a wonderful find! They sell wines and the restaurant is located underground. We were seated in a nice airy and light area in the resturant and were greeted by a young "intern trainee" waitperson. She was great at announcing the specials however her execution fell short. We ordered a bottle of wine and my husband actually pointed to our choice. She brought the wine and opened it and it was not what we had ordered - it about $30 US more than the one that we ordered. They corrected the mistake but the other waitress said "now we have an opened bottle of wine that we have to do something with". They should not have a trainee or someone very green to take the wine order. About the food - it was amazingly delicious! We ordered the fois gras and the Lyonnaise salad which were both magnificent. The 4 stars are for the food and ambiance. When I ordered, I asked our server about the salad - what was the lettuce that comes with the dish. She replied "iceberg". I said I cannot eat iceberg is there another lettuce? She pointed to the lettuce at another table and it was NOT iceberg - it was butter lettuce. They do not train their staff well - the food nonetheless is very good. She obviously did not know about food. I highly recommend this restaurant bu be careful if you get a non trained server.

If you are coming in for the grilled cheese, I think that's the way to go. We did a mix of entrees…read morefor lunch yesterday, including mozzarella sticks, a burger, and a charcuterie board, and all of those items were fine, not destination quality. But everyone, including the person who actually ordered the grilled cheese, wished they had gotten that instead of their order. The toast job on that bread was perfect, just the right amount of cheese--i.e., too much--and the honey for dipping were all great. That would be the call for our next visit--a table-full of grilled cheese sammies! A note about the space--the space has a few tables outside, plus seating at the bar and a large, high-boy-style farm table for guests. I don't mind seating like that (more communal in nature), but I know a lot of people who would mind. Also, it's all stools inside, so for those of us looking to lean back in a chair, just know that is not an option here. Also, restrooms are around the corner, and while those toilets are paid, the staff at Cheese Bar hooked us up to ensure we didn't have to pay.

You definitely need a reservation to sit a the cheese bar and I highly recommend! The plates rotate around (like a moving sushi bar), you pull of the plates you want to try and are charged at the end by the number of plates and the color of the plate determines the price! The plates are numbered and you are given a menu that describes each plate! Everything was absolutely delicious and all of the cheeses are from the UK! It is such a unique and fun meal, I highly recommend planning lunch or dinner here next time you are in London! I can't wait to go back!

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.

We went to more than a dozen pubs while in London and the surrounding area on vacation recently so…read morewhile reviewing them, I'm trying to focus on what made each a distinct memory/experience for us. My wife actually booked dinner reservations in advance for Ye Old Cheshire Cheese, it was one of a few we did that for rather than just popping in. For some of these, Cheshire included, it isn't a bad idea if you want a full meal to do so as it gives you a table in a dining area that is quieter than the More raucous areas of the pub and guarantees you plenty of elbow room to dine. Every pub has fish and chips, and we had our share of it during our 8+ day trek, but my wife swears by this place as having the absolute best. I'd likely agree with that--we both had the traditional fish, chips, peas platter and every bite was great. We had a few slices of sourdough to hold us over while waiting for those plates. My wife had a bit of wine, and I tried a lager, lower ABV ale, and a pour of scotch opting for their "house" scotch. The spirits/beer menu was the same I saw used at a couple of what I think must be "sister" pubs all using the same distilleries and brewers. We were too full to try dessert. Service was friendly. Not sure if it was the vintage of my scotch or her wine, but price-wise this was by far our priciest pub visit in the area and I can't quite point my fingers at why, but I don't regret our meal and time here. As for historic interest, you can find pictures and placards of many of the pubs famous patrons from history--Dickens, Mark Twain on visits to London, etc. A first edition of a Dickens' book adorned a post by our table.

Three stars because the service is super slow in a dining room filled to 10% capacity, had to remind about water, waitress disappearing and then re-appearing chilling out at the corner of the restaurant.
