Square Meal Review of Waterloo Bar & Grill ?

A tweaked name, a slick of new paint, some slouchy couches & a brighter-looking bar signal a change of direction at what was the Waterloo Brasserie. Instead of bourgeois French classics, the kitchen now puts most of its faith in club sandwiches, bold burgers (chicken with harissa & tzatziki), salads & meaty grills (Longhorn rib-eye, Barnsley chop with champ); one fan declares the new streamlined menu ‘simple & very well executed’. Additional comfort appears in the shape of bushy-tailed breakfasts (pancakes, omelettes & so on), while sharing plates & happy hours cater to Waterloo’s workers, who are more than happy to indulge in a ‘guilty pleasures’ platter loaded with spicy wings, onion rings, potato wedges, sticky ribs & more. An agreeable & atmospheric pre/post-theatre standby for patrons of the Old Vic, too.

    Great venue to go with friends. Menu was simple and executed very well. Cocktails were 2for1 (always makes me happy) and the staff were friendly. Really cant complain!!!

    Waterloo Bara and Grill are really doing it for the area! Try the baby chicken… I never order Chicken in a restaurant but this really must be had!

    We had our company late Christmas party at the Brasserie last week and had an excellent time. We had that round table at the back of the restaurant and they even organised christmas crackers for us.
    Staff were friendly, drinks were reasonably priced and the bar had a good atmosphere. Will definately be going back.

    Our meal at Waterloo Brasserie was very pleasant, for a decent meal in a very central location it is a solid choice. I had a rather rare-looking medium rare steak, which came with chips which were nice and crispy. The cheeseboard of smelly cheeses had small but potent choices including a decent reblochon. This place is very popular with the pre-theatre crowd attending The Vic which is literally across the road. The bar was also buzzing with the post-work crowd, so the place had a good vibe. However the service was probably the best thing about the meal – our waiter was very attentive and knowledgable without being pushy.

    Had an early dinner here (3 of us met at 6pm prior to going to the Old Vic) on Saturday night (21 feb 09). Have been several times before but decided to write about it this time.

    It is a great restaurant – sexy decor, helpful staff, great food and great value. I had the aubergine millefeuille with lemon sole – it was really good! We drank the house white – not shabby at all.

    Really convenient place to meet if anyone is using Waterloo station or if you are going to the Old Vic.

    The Waterloo Brasserie is a nice enough venue for a casual bite – ideal for pre- or post-theatre when visiting the Old Vic. Interior is smart and modern and deceptively large with and outdoor area and a function room / bar downstairs. The food is standard French brasserie style – think traditional French onion soup, steak bavette etc. The lunch menu is slightly smaller than dinner menu which is a shame as there are a lot more of my favourite dishes available for dinner and not for lunch. Service was a little shaky and slow considering it was quite quiet but all in all I was in and out with 3 courses in about 1 hour 45 so not too bad. Worth a trip for a bargain meal however if you find yourself delayed at Waterloo!
