    Reduced menu as they were focussing on Thanksgiving but OMG my rice and salad bowl was good! Lovely service. A moderate amount of noise but all reasonable. Will definitely return.

    This was, without a doubt, the best dining experience we have had this week in London. My family of 12 was welcomed as if we were part of their family, the food was superb, and we will return. The friendly staff/proprietors brought personality to the experience. We love “pots and pans” and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dining experience.

    I took a colleague to lunch to celebrate her birthday and so glad I chose the Fitz's Brasserie. The whole experience from being greeted, to having our coats taken, to being seated, to ordering, to eating and finally to paying (!) was very enjoyable and my friend was delighted and surprised by the birthday 'plate' which was a lovely touch. A big thank you and mention to our server (sorry I didn't take his name) who was friendly, professional, attentive and a total credit to the restaurant. I forgot to mention that the food was delicious as well...

    Very well-cooked and pleasantly presented food in a quiet atmosphere. However the prices spoke of more than this; there wasn’t the “wow” I expected. So a perfectly acceptable if not very memorable experience for perhaps a tad too much money.

    A pleasant late lunch with friends, we chose this restaurant as it seemed to be a relaxing quiet environment in lovely surroundings which it certainly lived up to We were hoping to book the fixed price lunch menu but this seemed very difficult through the one table app so ended up with the a la carte which was fine, generally enjoyed by all
