Booked 100 Wardour Street for a birthday dinner with friends. Amazing staff, amazing service and lovely food. It was so lovely to not be rushed off our table like so many restaurants do in December, and the set menu was delicious. They brought everything to our table with a good time in between without feeling like they were in a hurry to get rid of us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back! Great love entertainment too!

Quality Wines by name and by nature - interesting off-beat wines, not cheap, but well worth exploring, and very knowledgeable staff to help you select. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the list! Food is tapas-style, great for sharing, narrow but interesting and entirely adequate selection, and absolutely superbly prepared and presented. Given how busy it was, those chefs did an amazing job. Well done! Staff are all young, energetic, knowledgeable and eager to help. Full marks. Well done!

Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from
