Originally opened in 1991 in the heart of Covent Garden, Christopher’s has established itself as one of London’s best American restaurants, featured in Condé Nast, GQ, Tatler & Harper's Bazaar to name but a few. Comprising of three spaces that recall the heady-glamour of the Modern American era, Christopher’s brings you a Martini Bar on the ground floor, a glamorous Restaurant on the first floor and an intimate Club Room on the lower ground floor for private events. Housed in a Grade II listed building with an interesting past of its own, including opening in 1870 as London’s first licensed casino, Christopher's offers an extensive all day dining menu of Modern American cuisine. Weekend Brunch is also a specialty where healthy options are on offer alongside indulgent brunch favourites, including our signature french toast.

Unclear why this place is open — mouse ran through the bar, French fry was still ice cold in the center, and cocktails were abhorrent (two different basic martinis both awful)

Overall our experience was good, food as always was great. However, the service this time was lacking. Repeatedly having to chase things we had ordered and in one instance not getting an item at all. When the bill arrived at the end there were items on there we hadn’t received or ordered so we had to get this amended. It felt as though being we were just a small table of 3, we were forgotten about amongst the larger table groups around us.

A very disappointing dinner last night. The service was very poor… I had to go and find a waiter to take our drinks and food order. The water didn’t come. The food came wrong. No attention to detail at all! The restaurant wasn’t particularly friendly or interested in having us there. The guy on the door was great though and took some lovely Christmas photos of us as we left. The only good part!

Food was good as usual but the service has deteriorated a lot. No one came to take our orders 10 min after we got our menus. Our water glasses were never refilled. When it came to ordering dessert again we had to wait ages to get the attention of a staff member . Dessert prep time was really long and lastly we ordered 2 course kids meal but never received the dessert for the kids meal. The 13.5% service charge is exorbitant and does meet the standards you would expect from Christopher’s. Very disappointed this time

Booked as a family treat. What a waste! We’d have had more fun in Mc donalds. We were parked on a tiny dark table by the waiters. My mint tea had two mint leaves. French toast was a soggy mess, my daughter refused to finish he “greasy” pancakes and my husband’s eggs benedict was chewy. I can think of better ways to spend £90!

We had the pre theatre menu which was delicious. Good portion size. Service was patchy and we had to keep trying to get the staffs attention but it was a very busy Saturday night in December. We all enjoyed the meal and would go back again.
