“Simply dreadful”, “you must warn people away!”; this “extraordinarily overpriced” Hoxton basement (in part staffed by disadvantaged trainees) offers up “diabolical” Italian food and notably “careless” service – if it couldn’t “live off Jamie Oliver’s name”, it wouldn’t last a week!
Keep your own review of Fifteen Dining Room using our diary service.
The critic visits Jamie’s “aspirational” and “charitable” Shoreditch venue. He has an OK meal, but can’t help noting that “the price is about twice what it should be, if you’re hard-headed”. But this is not a restaurant, it’s an experience. “Everybody takes lots of pictures and you’re meant to respond to all [Jamie’s] incredibles and the fantastics [on the menu] with superlatives of your own”.
