   Great central place to meet. Mentioned, when booking, meal was for a birthday and on the house fizz to start with was a lovely touch, plus candle in chocolate desert was great service. Staff young and attentive.

   Limited menu but good. Short wine list but not bad. The chips should be real chips and not french fries!

   I have not dined at Rowleys for nearly 25 years having moved out of London, the steaks and chips were as delicious as I remembered them, the wine just as good .The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly, the ambiance again as I remembered, nice high ceilings and plenty of space. Highly recommend to new customers and old returnees.

   Food was good, but when making the booking was told the slot was 2 hrs by opentable confirmation. When we arrived, we where told the the kitchen closed in 15mins and the restaurant in 45 mins. Felt rushed through dinner. Checked website afterwards and you really have to hunt for the opening times. Why allow a 3pm booking when the venue closes at 4pm? Very disappointed.

   We have been going to Rowleys for a long time and like its proximity to West End Theatres and some of its special features. Because of Covid we have not been for some time and were surprised by the high prices. The cheapest wine is £35 per bottle and the Service Charge is now 15%. For two of us with two courses and wine it came to £190.

    Delicious quality food that we’ve come to expect here. Service was friendly and efficient. Restaurant quieter than expected for a Friday night. Had chateaubriand for two with stunning peppercorn sauce. Bottle of wine was reasonably priced and well chilled.

    Been going here for years but this wasn’t an enjoyable experience. It was my birthday so they generously gave me and my partner a glass of fizz on the house when we arrived. We then waited nearly 40 minutes for our food to arrive and ordered the chateaubriand (£65 for 2 people) and it wasn’t seasoned at all so very bland, the Roquefort butter was also very bland. Fries are always great, but the buttered spinach was very dry, not much butter and again no seasoning. Very disappointing.

    We dined here pre-theatre. We had enough time for a starter and main meal, and the service was prompt enough to deliver with time to spare (1 1/4 hours). As we dined at 5.30 as the restaurant opened, on a Tuesday, it was pretty quiet. The prawn cocktail and Chicken parfait were excellent, but the real star was the steaks. Three of us had the Sirloin, which while not cheap, was absolutely delicious. Served on a warm platter and pre-sliced, they were really tasty and complemented with hot, fresh fries. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful restaurant with lovely ambience. Very warm and welcoming. Great, attentive service without being at all intrusive. My friend and I shared the Chataubriand, which was outstanding, as was all the food - I chose the prawn and avocado starter, my friend chose the whitebait). The wine we chose (Château Gachon Montgne St Emilion) paired beautifully with our meal.

    I am a great fan of Rowley's - been a "go-to" venue for me for many years. I love the atmosphere and the menu is good, simple and consistent in quality. Wine list is good too! I will keep going back and already have 2 business lunches booked for June!

    Booked a pre-theatre meal for my husband’s birthday. Was given a couple of complimentary glasses of Prosecco on arrival due to birthday, which was a nice touch. Place was clean and staff were lovely, the only downside was the meal. My husband had the burger and I had chicken supreme. The chicken supreme was essentially a chicken breast with half a tomato, thin fries and a garnish of rocket. Meal total was nearly £70 for a bread basket starter, a coke, burger and the chicken, all tasted ok but nothing special - nice place but far too overpriced for what it was.

    Very good, tasty and succulent steaks, cooked as per our request - to the standard and quality we had expected. Busy, fun and lively atmosphere. Staff were polite, attentive and professional. My only thought was you couldn’t help but notice the waitress team seemed slightly understaffed for the number of diners. No criticism to them as they were coping well, but you got the feeling it was extremely hectic for them to keep on top of it at times. Very good and will be back again soon.

    The service received from the staff was second to none. I originally booked for 3 guests at 7pm but requested a last minute change to 7.30pm for 4 guests. They were very accommodating. The waiter was patient and supportive. We were not rushed to finish our meal and nothing was too much trouble. I used to visit this restaurant regularly in the 90s and last nights visit reminded me why. I thoroughly recommend this this restaurant.

    Rowleys in my opinion used to be a good steak house with real atmosphere to match . Now its a really good restaurant ,modern with varied a menu which brings it into line with other food establishments. To me its lost its special atmosphere but worth a visit.
