Fabien LaineNovember 15, 2015Great place for meat lovers - went there with a few friends - based on 4 floors place - basement is a bar, 1st floor is a craft beer pub, 2nd floor is a meat restaurant and 3rd floor is a fine dining
George KyriakosNovember 18, 2018Excellent brunch spot right next to the meat market. Recently added live music as early as 10.30am. If seated on ground floor, you can feel the tube (and Crossrail works next door). Great top view.Upvoted 1 week ago
Jamie DumbillOctober 21, 2014I really enjoyed my burger. The sweet platter was amazing. Definitely recommend. The service was a bit cold, the waitress was hovering at 1hr 50 in to our 2hr slot which spoilt it a bit.
Helen HudsonJuly 9, 2017For lunch and early supper, there is a super special menu of 2 courses for £15, included the trademark burger and also a vegetarian option. Importantly, the 2 course menu includes the Pavlova!
John BarnhamFebruary 21, 2016A great place for breakfast. Do eat the bacon butties and porridge. Do avoid the brisket hash. It's just some mash with pecks of beef and an egg.
Fantastic steak sandwiches; with the proximity to the infamous market you can't go wrong with the meat here. Busy & buzzing on weeknights, very chilled on weekends.
First floor bar is a must for drinks and unique cocktails. Better than first floor for a date and catch up with something different to drink & table service. Bar food amaze too
Good quality food from an ever changing menu. The steaks are consistently good. Clientele is a bit suity, but there's enough space in the warehouse conversion to avoid them- Work your way up a floor each time you visit. Ground- brunch/bar, 2-Wine Rooms, 3-Dining Room, 4-Top Floor Roof Top Dining Room. The perfect place for anytime of day/occasion.
Order the scallops!! #1 For a steakhouse, they do an awesome job on their poultry and fish. Delicious menu, and awesome chefs!
London Symphony OrchestraSeptember 16, 2011A little walk to the Barbican Centre from here, but well worth it. Try the burgers: the meat is all from the market opposite. Level 2 Dining Room is a good choice, Level 3 for something a bit special!
Werner ButtiensDecember 4, 2013Took the mixed steak platter with the different cuts. The ribeye had more fat than meat... not nice, to put it nice. At least the wine and company were excellent! Pruno 2010, Ribera Del Duero.
Priya TungrusDecember 1, 2016Lovely atmosphere in the throw floor dining room. Great food and wine. £130 for two people two courses and a bottle of wine.
James SouthornJanuary 18, 2015This place has it all - breakfasts are delicious, the bar is buzzing at night and the roof terrace is perfect on a warmish day- Paolo BaroneOctober 21, 2012Try the Waffle And Maple Syrup - Lately I am enjoying a lot to try waffles! And this is indeed a good one, freshly made! Great flavor, great smell!
- John BarnhamSeptember 21, 2016Great breakfast stop, still tastes great. It is however feeling a little tired and needs a revamp.
Ground floor - posh builders' caff by day, trendy bar by night. Never been to the first floor. Second floor - steak and grill. Third floor - special posh food.
JacquesMay 13, 2015fantastastic all day breakfast! For fine dining head upstairs; great views out on the terrace
Joan Vidal BoschOctober 9, 2016The top floor is an amazing place to eat. The meat is just one of the best in London.
The French toast served on the ground floor might be the best I've had in London (home of disappointing French toast).
AleksasFebruary 2, 2015Cosy, smooth atmosphere, ok service, good food, nice for quality conversations during the day. Recommend!
- DavidMay 25, 2015There are much better options for meat lovers around London, but they have a big space and a pretty good atmosphere so it's good for groups.
Owen BaileyMay 28, 2013Food is great in here and the staff are always friendly. Try out the pies, best you'll find!
Very industrial looking downstairs bar. Smelt of pancakes coming from the open plan kitchen. Would like to see it when it's busy.
Bahadir VAROLMay 3, 2016Go at least with 3pll and order the big ones on the board to share. Delicious.- Paolo BaroneOctober 21, 2012Try the Pulled Pork Sandwich - An English take on an American classic! Very tasty indeed
Patrick AAugust 9, 2023The breakfast is decent. Went on a Wednesday morning and the staff were completely useless and grumpy. 40 mins to get a coffee even the place wasn’t busy. Probably wouldn’t go back on that basis ;(
If you like meet go to the 1st floor (wine room) and have the double rib!! It yaks a while to cook but worth it nom nom nom
PDT BlogAugust 13, 2017A very poor attempt at brunch. All four plates lacked seasoning making the food incredibly bland. Baked beans from a tin. Measly portion of bacon. Undercooked crunchy hash brown. Won't be returning 😡
Claire BristonMarch 15, 2010Coffee? Eggs?! NO! You go to Smiths for MEAT! Amazing meat direct for the Smithfield Market! The sirloin steak and pork belly are my fave dishes here.

Ivan DaviesNovember 9, 2010Try the Gammon eggs and chips wow! Great vibe here especially on a Thursday night. Its owned by John Torode of Masterchef fame.- StéphaneMay 11, 2014Overrated. Sorry for the blurry pic, waiter took my plate when I tried to frame the gloomy pancake. Service : expect the same welcoming staff than in a large corp cafeteria. Food: dry, poor tasting
Oliver ShreeveAugust 7, 2014Steakhouse split over 4 floors. Be brave and push through the crowd to get to the restaurant
Lady Gel @gastronomicas_May 3, 2014Nicely done place with a great terrace area but the food is nothing to rave about sadly. Beware that their creamed spinach is not creamed but 'bread-crumbed'.
Jon ChooOctober 7, 2012Good food but place has serious hygiene issues. Both our breakfast had a strand of hair in them! Which is a shame as we enjoyed the food.- Poor poor service on a Saturday morning. Smith’s used to be good food with good service. Seems things have changed. Flat white was luke warm, food was alright but the service was a shambles.
Valentina D'OreficeDecember 16, 2010Great ambience, this venue is one of the coolest place to dine and for a brunch in Central London!- JiMay 16, 2018Most meals generously covered with some green pesto tasting like jar food. Pretends to be sophisticated, but not close to it. The lobster mac & cheese - can make better at home. Not worth the price.
- Wine Rooms have tasting and tutorials most months, next one is on 4th July. USA Wines vs English Beef to celebrate US Indpendence
M USeptember 7, 2018Steak was quite good. But the music was too loud, impossible to hear others. Lost my voice in 1 hour, gave up and left 😐
