   A little gem in the heart of a packed and busy area. Amazing food though we were rushed for a pre-theatre dining experience. Outstanding and professional service. A very sensibly priced meal deal given the quality of the food we received. It was my friend's birthday and there was the lovely added touch of some complimentary chocolates. The one downside was the cost of drinks. £16 plus service charge for 1 Aperol Spritz - really? Otherwise wonderful!

   I have been to Whitcomb’s multiple times and have always had an amazing experience. Food is superb. Service and ambiance excellent. Unfortunately our experience last night was not so good because our waiter was rude and dismissive. And my friends drinks never arrived even after reminding. So it did kind of effect our overall experience. Can’t fault the food though.

   I booked the table to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We had a really fantastic meal, ordering from the three course set menu. Everything on the A la Carte menu looked great but the set menu was fantastic. Service was really good, the staff were really attentive and refilled our water and wine without skipping a beat. My one critique would that the mains took a little while to arrive, but that isn’t really a bad thing unless you are in a hurry. I didn’t feel rushed which was nice. My one pet peeve in restaurants is waiting after asking for the bill, but that wasn’t a problem either, it came instantly after we asked for it. I would definitely come back again. Food, atmosphere and service all first class.

   We tried the set menu as we were in the area for the theatre. Overall the service was excellent, one of side dishes was too salty and the staff immediately offered to replace it. We chose not to replace as short of time and they offered us complimentary desert. For starters we had the cheese tart and burrata. The onion sauce a in the tart was very salty and the burrata dish felt more like a desert and a little lacking . Highlight of the food was the main course, the fish was done to perfection, crispy skin on one side but still tender and juicy on the other.. the baby roast chicken was equally good. The mash potato was smooth, fluffy and almost muss like, we loved it! Desert was done to a high standard. All in all very good pre theatre dinner

   Whitcomb'sResponded on 30 July 2022Dear LLKK, Thank you so much for sharing a rating and your feedback for Whitcomb's. We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience and sorry to hear that one of the dishes was too salty. We have shared this feedback with the kitchen team to monitor as it is unfortunately very easy to over season a dish. Thank you again for the kind words LLKK! We sincerely hope you will return for another delightful evening in Whitcomb's! With kind regards, Whitcomb's Management team. Whit

    Beautiful Restaurant in a prime location in Leicester Square. The food was delicious, staff very attentive and friendly. We were not rushed until after 3 hours when we were politely asked if we would vacate the table for the evening session but that we could continue at the bar area. The bar area was lovely, nice comfortable chairs, plenty of different drinks on offer and live music from 8pm. All this inside the new outstanding Londoner Hotel.

    The restaurant is in The Londoner Hotel and does not open its doors until 1200. It's a modern muted and relaxed environment and the staff were very friendly. The set menu choices are served on their own without sides (you get one of a choice of two sides with the main - in our case spinach or mashed potato) and are small but very good - we had the sea bass fillet and the mushroom risotto. I had the mash as my side which was almost liquid (it ran off the spoon) and I sent it back. The price is also pretty steep especially for what you get. We won't go again.

    Only restaurant I have ever been to that ran out of fries but could offer aerated mash potatoes!! Surely they couldn’t have sorted potatoes on a Friday night! Did spoil a really good fillet mignon which had a beautiful source but when combined with a runny mashed potatoes it ended up as a steak In soup! Service and everything else was great but did take the shine off a lovely night

    The website suggests a more intimate environment but they pack you in and the environment is quite loud. We had the lobster and filet mignon both of which were delicious, and the deserts were great too. Can’t fault the food or the service if you don’t mind a busy restaurant. Note that the wine comes in 500ml carats although you can ask for a full bottle. As a side note, staying at the hotel, breakfast in Whitcombs is £39 per head ! - Much better value options locally!

    Located in the Londoner Hotel, this is a truly excellent restaurant. The room is lovely; the service is attentive and competent, and the food is wonderful. One of us is Vegan so our vegan dishes were the Carpaccio d'asperges to start, followed by the Spaghettis de courgettes. The non vegan dishes we had were Crevettes a l'huile de piment to start, and the Filet de sole. We shared a side of steamed kale with lemon and chili salt. All of the dishes were beautifully plated, properly served and delicious. The filet of sole was de-boned properly after first being presented, and was truly excellent. We were too full for desert so we had expresso. The crowd is a little eclectic and unfortunately the attire is quite casual; probably because the restaurant is in a hotel located on Leicester Square, but the decor of the room is nice. The restaurant is expensive. Recommended.

    Lovely find right in the heart of London. Food was cooked to a decent standard and tasty. Choice of menu on set menu was good but basic. Service was attentive and timing between each course was excellent. My only gripe was the service charge which was added to the bill at 12.5%. This should be a recommended charge not already added. It brought the cost of the meal to a much higher price.

    Whitcomb'sResponded on 4 July 2022Dear TraceyC, Thank you for leaving a review and sharing your experience with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience with us and had a pleasant evening. We understand that the discretionary service charge added to the bill can sometimes feel over the top. It is a common practise in London which we follow however should maybe emphasize more when presenting the bill that it is discretionary and should the guest wish to remove it, we are happy to. Kind regards Whitcomb's Management

    Disappointingly slow service. We had the set menu expecting to be able to eat 3 courses between 5.45 and 7.15 but only just managed 2. Surprising given the restaurant was nearly empty. The poussin was served too pink to eat and we had to return it. The white wine served warm (but then put on ice) It’s a shame as the rest of our food was delicious.

    Food was amazing but the ambience in the restaurant was terrible. It looks like an economy hotel bar area, was cold and uncomfortable as a result, and towards the end of our meal (the food was slow and one of our party had to leave when the main courses hadn’t arrived 2 ours after we sat down) staff started laying tables for breakfast around us!! Given how lovely the rest of the hotel is (we went to both bars during the evening) and how delicious the food was, the atmosphere was a total let down.

    I stayed at The Londoner for 2 nights,booked a table at Whitcomb’s on our last night. Everything was amazing,we both had steak,one of the best steaks we had had. Atmosphere brilliant,service decent. But then …. After we had finished dinner we still had full drinks left so got up an went outside for a cigarette. There wasn’t anyone on hand to notify them what we were doing so we proceeded out the front of hotel for a ciggy. Then I get a tap on shoulder from our waitress saying I haven’t paid for food. Which we knew as we hadn’t finished our experience at the restaurant (a quick ciggy break) as u can’t imagine this didn’t go down well unfortunately. We felt like criminals. Our bill was close to £200 which I would left £250 the food being that good. But unfortunately my back was up so I took the 15% optional grad off an paid we left. As said food was amazing just that one incident that left a bad taste in our mouths.

    Whitcomb'sResponded on 14 June 2022Dear Jamier, Thank you for sharing your feedback about the dining experience and leaving a review for Whitcomb's. I am delighted you enjoyed your experience but sorry that it did not end on a high note. This has been addressed with the service team and we will be more cautious. Unfortunately walk-outs do happen but in a case such as yours, we should always make sure to have the correct information first. We do apologise. With kind regards, Whitcomb's Management team.
