    Our first visit and we will return. The menu is relatively limited, which I prefer and there was also a special (venison pie for two). All our courses were excellent, although the fish stew portion was a little small and could have done with a few extra pieces of fish in it. The layout of the restaurant groups diners into three separate areas so it feels quite intimate.

    No point in saying how lovely this place is, because it's closing

    This restaurant is fit for those who enjoy well cooked food invariably cooked with meat that is not everybody's taste: rabbit, squid, sweetbreads etc. but cooked beautifully. It's intimate burgundy coloured walls and wooden floors provide undistracting focus on the food. We enjoyed the all of our courses and our wine. The service was knowledgeable, slick and sympathetic. Because of the intimate nature of the place diners were respectful and quiet, certainly not a restaurant that would benefit from noisy families or large groups. Unfortunately, I learned that this favourite of mine is to be sold, a sad day for London.

    We have made the Magdalen our yearly get together lunch with our friends from Chicago when they visit. It's the 4th year we have done this, and the food, service and surroundings are perfect. It is a shame that this was the last time, because we learnt that the restaurant is closing. We'll just have to find out where the staff set up elsewhere, hopefully!

    Absolutely brilliant restaurant, cannot fault the service, food or wine. Menu is small but that means that the food has had careful attention.

    Service was excellent, loved my main course of venison. Kitchen most helpful in producing beautifully presented and am told tasty vegan meal without fuss. Most enjoyable evening.
