   Terrible from start to finish. Service very very slow, we waited 30 mins for drinks and then the waiter had to be shown everything on the menu to take the order. The restaurant was very noisy, voices echo and the air con was so cold you froze in your seat. Most disappointing was the food. Expensive and steaks not cooked to standard ordered and served on cold plates. Filet steak £39 - not cooked on one side at all! Served raw! Chewy ribeye and in no way worth the ridiculous prices. No trimmings all extra side orders, even chips at £5 extra were half empty. Will never return, paid half the bill and went elsewhere for dessert!!

   Good food, bad service. Only had 4 tables occupied including ours but still managed to ignore us and forget about the wine we ordered until after we’d already finished our starters.

   The service was polite, the food excellent, albeit expensive, and the atmosphere was great. Had clients over from the Caribbean, who felt the cold outside. The waitress moved us inside without any issue. The only problem was the wait time. For two courses, we were there for two hours.

   Booked a table for 2pm with 2 clients and was then told we only had the table for an hour which was quite shocking really. Ruined the whole experience as we had to rush ordering, eating, talking whilst the staff moved tables all around us. Won't be going again

    Food was outstanding. Front of house was run like a mad house. Staff seemed super stressed, which was felt by the table hugely. Some drinks never turned up. Had to ask for steak knives with our steaks, when the knives came there weren’t enough for each person and we thought it was too chaotic to ask for more. Super over priced for that level of service.

    The quality of the food is excellent, if a little expensive, considering the 2 & 3 course pricing options are anything but fixed price. To get anywhere near a complete 2 or 3 course meal requires significant additions. So that was a let down. The should also make it more obvious on the website & and other media. that they have moved out of Paternoster Square.

    Very harsh environment. There was a particularly noisy group there and the noise level was too high we had to move table. Staff were helpful but the design of the place was the problem. Was expensive but good was good

    Whilst the food was good, it was cold and the side dishes came some time after our meal was served. The restaurant was also on the chilli side so we did not have a comfortable night.

    Unfortunately we were rushed and couldn’t fully enjoy the experience. We will definitely go again so that we can savour the experience a bit more. Would be unfair to review, however, the Wagyu beef burger topped with truffle was really good! One comment, as a wine aficionado, the prices of the wine do not represent good value at all.

    Had a really nice Father's Day lunch - Dany V was our server. She was fantastic - very helpful with the menu, giving us great recommendations. She was attentive and made our lunch special. The food was amazing - had the porterhouse steak which was perfectly cooked and the pork loin roast which was juicy and tender.

    Food was great and the cocktails were very nice. The service was quite slow and we waited about 45 minutes for our first drink to arrive. We weren't very close to a heater but they did provide blankets which was great.

    I was delighted to be coming out to eat after lockdown and was, before lockdown, a long standing regular of D&D restaurants including PCH. I was also excited to be seeing PCH’s new location. Unfortunately the experience was somewhat disappointing. For whatever reason we were initially seated under the only heater that did not work. When we were moved there was also a lack of outside heating at the second table (and the outdoor gas heater was not running at full power). There were warmer tables (including ones that became empty while we were there) but for whatever reason we were told we could not be moved to them (despite spending, between four of us, almost £700 on dinner). Maybe those other (mostly younger patrons than us) were friends. Who knows. Finally, the food. Whilst tasty enough, 100g of fish for a main course (£32 turbot), most of which was bone (I cook turbot at home, I’m astonished they found a piece of the fish that was so full of bones), is really unacceptable.

    Not sure I like the new location and room, quite industrial and smaller. The terrace is bigger which helps during the current situation! However the food and service were excelent and the covid precautions making it a pleasant experience

    Food and service was amazing - Covid regs were really good. Cant fault this place - went with my extended bubble as a single person living alone- most table were in two's, and very very well spaced out. It was my 50th and they made a very odd time extra special. thanks so so much ..

    My Sister is a big fan of the tv programme ‘First Dates’ so we chose the restaurant to celebrate her birthday as this is where it is filmed. Food is very good, fantastic service and they made a real fuss of my Sister.

    The restaurant is closing and it really showed! Food was reasonable but unfortunately everything else was a real disappointment. Certainly not like the First Dates restaurant! It was my wife’s 50th birthday and unfortunately it fell well short of expectations! Didn’t help that we had eaten at the Asia Ivy earlier in the week which was brilliant!
