My Review

8 out of 10 stars
We also ate here recently after an evening performance at the Magic Circle. We went with some misgivings having read the earlier reviews commenting about rushed and unfriendly service. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was certainly efficient, which suited us fine as we had to catch a tube back to the suburbs. The food was also fine. We had a perfectly nice two-course meal for two with a decent bottle of wine for 50 quid including a tip, which seems like good value to me.

Soon after we got our main course all of the Magic Circle performers plus various associates walked in. We joked with the waitress that she'd better watch out as they were magicians and would make all the cutlery disappear or bend, and she laughed and said "yeah, we know them, they come in every week" so that seemed like a good recommendation.

So by my reading the earlier reviewers were unfortunate, this seems like a good place to eat regardless of whether you're in a hurry or not.
