   Nice atmosphere for after theater dinner and food was pretty good. Service went downhill after we were served dinner - our waitress was busy chatting with coworkers and just disappeared for about twenty minutes.

   Joe Allen is totally unique. It has a wonderful ambience with a lovely showbiz feeling. You always get a warm welcome. The food is varied and delicious and you never feel rushed. I have been going to Joe Allen for 40 years. I am sorry to see it moving it's location but I am sure it will be as brilliant as ever in its new home.

   I dined here with my partner. We wanted to visit here before it closes and moves on 23rd July. This restaurant has been here for years and is our goto restaurant when staying nearby. The atmosphere was buzzy as usual and there was a resident pianist playing in the bar area. We were seated quickly without fuss, we might of had a drink at the bar first however there was a very large table occupying that area and we decided to go straight to our table. The menu is varied and offer a taste and budget for everyone. There is the regular a la carte, a table´d´hote menu, pre and post theatre menu and a green menu for us vegetarians. I opted for a smoked cheese burrata on roasted aubergine which is a really nice starter and would be better if the cheese was more smoky as the smokiness was barely there. Being a non meat eater I chose the vegetarian chilli which more than satisfied me, it was thick & chunky and the flavour was spot on. This was served with corn chips. My partner was also satisfied with his choices. The waitress was very patient with me in helping to find the right red wine for my taste and offered four tastes before I found the right one. We love this place it is comfortable, has a warm & friendly atmosphere and is not pretentious for these reasons I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. As previously mentioned this establishment moves on 23rd July albeit only a two minute walk around the corner. I cant wait to visit the new restaurant and hope it continues with the same dedication of service to its customers.

   We went for early dinner on Saturday 24June. Initially just really poor; began with warm white wine, then main courses arrived before the starters. A polite complaint led to a real improvement and a proper gesture to put things right from the manager. But seeing how busy she was I suspect this inconsistency happens frequently. A great shame as I love the place.

   Joe Allan's has been around a long time and the standards have never varied. It's great for post theatre dining which is why I've always come here and will continue to do so even when it moves to its new location in a few weeks time.

    We had a lovely family meal here on Sunday for Father's Day with our young adults and teenage kids. The ambience and food was perfect for this occasion. Joe Allen's is a favourite of ours and we're looking forward to their relocating very soon.
