Harden's survey result
Summary
“Great atmosphere in the heart of Soho” is the big draw at this all-day brasserie from the Soho House group, which provides “simple food cooked well and friendly, attentive staff” – a winning package that’s particularly “perfect for breakfast” or “great for pre-theatre”.
Summary
This all-day brasserie from the Soho House group – on home territory in the heart of Soho – is “a great ‘go-to’ place” and serves “the best breakfast in the area” (fittingly, since it is attached to a hotel). “The atmosphere is brilliant” and overall it’s “a really fun place to spend a few hours, although the food isn’t as good as it likes to think”.
Summary
“Wonderful when it’s cold outside – with warm fires burning to make it very welcoming” – and blessed with a nice terrace for summer: this all-day Soho House brasserie (part of their hotel, in the heart of Soho) exudes just the right design pheromones to keep it permanently packed. “Just the job for a power breakfast – it serves decent kippers, cracking kedgeree and a full English that deserves the name”. At other times its English comfort food (when did you last see mince and potatoes on a menu?) neither greatly adds nor detracts from the experience.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Dean Street Townhouse Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Really relaxed yet chic vibe, food is good value."

"A mid-week lunch outing. Very friendly greeting, promptly shown to the table and water offered immediately.... needed... as it was one of those very hot days. The ambient noise level is high, customers just seemed to talk loudly. It wasn't as ii they were that far apart, just load !!. It took a while to get used to the low light level, but once acclimatized we were fine. The menu is not extensive but we were happy with our choices. Scallops to start (excellent black pudding sauce), followed by one fish curry and a pork chop. Both well presented and promptly served. Puddings: Eaton Mess and a sticky toffee pudding. The food portions are not large, but that suited us. it was washed down with a French Macon... served at just the right temperature. Lovely. Couldn't fault the service. "

"Always good. Simple food cooked well. Friendly service."
