Rowley's Restaurant

The steaks we ordered tasted lovely but they were not cooked like we ordered them. I asked for blue and it was medium. The chocolate bomb was not nice to eat, the ‘bomb’ was sitting in a sea of coffee foam and then when the hot sauce went on everything instantly melted into a puddle that didn’t taste great to be honest. Service was very attentive but the food was definitely not worth the money we paid.

FABUUUUULOUS
A steak that was delicious and cooked perfectly for our liking and yummy fries and salad with a great bottle of Spanish red wine. Gorgeous creme brûlée and pear crumble. Pre theatre dinner and the service was friendly, professional and faultless. Thank you, hope to dine here again soon.

Amazing food and good atmosphere, definitely would love to go again!

A lovely evening. We enjoyed the good very much. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Love this restaurant and have come for a lot of years although not regularly. We had a fabulous evening, however, feel that the prices have escalated beyond the eating experience. Not sure that we want to continue spending such a lot of money for a piece of steak that we finish cooking ourselves, no matter how nice it is. Fries were perfect and plentiful.

Excellent steak and the freshest out-the-pan frites. Lovely ambience.

Having been here many times it definitely lived up to expectations. Happy to return again.

Had a lovely meal on our way to the theatre, albeit, expensive, but food was perfect! chateaubriand was to die for!
The waitresses were very informative, prompt and polite!
Certainly wouldn't hesitate to go back! Many thanks.

Great welcome and service from our Italian host waiter. Chateaubriand was average. Wished I hadn’t ordered the sirloin. Wine was nice and chips were plentiful. Enjoyed our meal very much and will always return to Rowley’s. It’s an institution...

Always good at Rowleys

Post theatre meal had no atmosphere and staff couldn't wait to get us out if there. Disappointing for the price

We went there for dinner. The staf was very welcoming and kind.
The steaks where outstanding👍

Went for a pre theatre dinner. Excellent steaks and very good service. MK

Prior to a show.

We came to Rowley’s one year later than last year to celebrate our anniversary. This service one year on was dismal in comparison to the previous. Last year we were welcomed with open arms, given recommendations on how to have our steak, and had the chateubriand explained to us in comfortable detail. This time around, quite the opposite - we were shown to our cramped seat at the back of the building and was offered a very basic service which lacked the charm and charisma they displayed previously. Also - avoid their “Groupon” voucher special. The chateaubriand is £39 off the menu and not the advertised “£79 value” which they claim on groupon. They charge a 12.5% service charge on the original total pre-discount - so it actually works out more expensive to dine with the groupon voucher. Overall, disappointing compared to how we much loved it last year.

Lovely find in central London. A little but on the chilly side but maybe because it was early eve and not warmed up yet. Definitely recommend great food and service.

Went for a lunch with my boyfriend and the service was absolutely fantastic. The two male waiters were very friendly and polite. The food was excellent and great portion size. We will definitely go back!

Great food and great service. Not what you would expect from this very non-assuming restaurant front in an alleyway. It's should definitely be on the top 10 list of British cuisine restaurants to try.

British fare and the entrecôte steak is always excellent, as are the endless fries. It is a gem on Jermyn Street: quiet and just a street away from the bustle of Picadilly. I highly recommend it for lunch or dinner. Thankfully, it's also one of the quieter restaurants in London.

Fantastic restaurant, great food and service, reasonable prices, exceptional ambience, located two blocks from Piccadilly Circus tube station. We had the chateaubriand for two and it was absolutely amazing. HIGHLY recommended.

really good restaurant food xcellant and friendly recommend this place no problem

We were sat in a far corner with no view by a fire extinguisher even though there were several open tables with a view that were never seated during our time there. Food was bland, and customer service minimal. Not worth the money.

Rowleys is always consistently good. Great food and wonderful staff, who make you feel special Love the building and it is so central.

We had a great family lunch before going to the Theatre. Lovely meal the house speciality and great chocolate bomb desert.
Thank you

Great for meat. Sadly they stopped using white table cloth, which makes it look a bit run down since the tables are a bit worn.

Fab steak as usual

Had lunch there before going to the pantomime. Food and service were excellent as usual.

A basic rather boring menu. The carrot soup needed salt and pepper to make it taste of anything. The duck was overcooked and on a huge pile of red cabbage. The fish of the day was also a bit overcooked but at least it was edible. They are generous with the fries at least. Sorry, it was our second visit but this will be our last.

Very nice place.
Staff were polite and efficient.
We had 2-for-1 vouchers which was taken care of well, and we felt that we weren't treated any differently for using them.
Not the cheapest place, even with the vouchers, but food quality was excellent.

We had the chateaubriand with the Groupon voucher. The chateaubriand was of excellent quality perfectly cooked. We had the steak medium rare as recommended. The outside was nicely browned to give flavour. Inside was pink but perfectly sealed with no blood. The meat was 'melt in your mouth' perfection. The groupon voucher makes this excellent value.

Rare dinner out with my wife. V relaxed, lovely food, fun service.

Great setting, excellent service and the food is amazing. Rowley’s never disappoints!!

Two of us attended on a busy lunchtime a few days before Christmas. I was sent an email offering a free bottle of Champagne or wine if ordering 2 courses from the main menu. The first course was Whitebait that we both ordered. We very disappointed with the portion size, it was served in one of these trendy metal " flower pots". The portion was no more than a large handful for £10.30 ! We both ordered Entrecote with unlimited fries and cheese butter. This again was a very small steak and at £33 I felt did not offer good value for money compared with other similar steaks I have had in London. When I asked for the free bottle of Red wine (£66) I was told it was out of stock, I then had to ask for an alternative and was shown the menu with no words of advice or a suggested alternative. The waiter was slightly rude and did not really know what to do. Eventually a cheaper alternative was supplied. I felt the "free" bottle was a bit of a lost leader to get us through the door. At a busy time of year I would have thought they would have ordered adequate stock. with a £16 carafe of wine the final bill was £123 with service. Thats 2 courses which I thought was not good value for money at all. Although they do inform you in the email, beware they add on the 12.5% service charge for the free wine which can add on another £8.25 to your bill ! On a positive the steak was cooked well and the service was fast even though the restaurant was busy.

A large-ish group booking well managed, food up to the usual high standard.

What a lovely friendly restaurant where the atmosphere was only bettered by the quality of the food.

Pleasant evening with an old friend, eating steak and limitless fries. The Argentinan wine was good too.

We were early, but we were immediately accommodated. The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the value for the precise was well worth it. Recommended! If you want traditional British food, eat here!

My mom came to visit and i decided to bring her here for dinner, the experience was amazing. The food was outstanding and the price was reasonable for the quality we were served. The waitress, an Italian girl, was very kind and ensured we had an extremely pleasant time also thanks to her. Although i have to admit the place was loud everything was simply perfect!

Charming service and excellent food!

One of my favourite restaurants in London, we always want to go back to Rowleys time and time again. The staff at Rowleys are brilliant, so attentive, nothing is too much trouble even though they are run off their feet. They always make our evening a fun experience.
