Alex's Reviews

Went for Sunday lunch and left rather underwhelmed. Dull, rather hushed atmosphere, rather overdone service. Food was mixed, with a reasonable mackerel to start, a very under seared piece of tuna. Main course of loin of pork was ok but a bit dull. Best was the wine list but generally this place just seems to miss. Alex S

I returned to may favourite restaurant in London but came away feeling rather let down. My guest and I arrived ten minutes early for 12 o'clock lunch booking to be told (in slightly less than charming tones) that tables were still being set. Once we were seated the amuse bouche arrived, was placed on the table, but no explanation was given as to its origins. Nonetheless it was very good. We chose from the well priced set lunch menu. Unfortunately the beef in my first course salad while perfectly cooked was rather chewy. For my main course I chose halibut which was accompanied by a very creamy sauce which was too rich and bland.
On my previous visits to the Square I have been so impressed with the standard of cooking and the depth of flavour of the food that I was very disappointed on this occasion.

I hope this was a one off and that normal service will be resumed next time.

I had lunch at Galvins Bistrot Deluxe for the first time. I have been wanting to try the restaurant for some time and was not disappointed. I had requested a table with banquette and was duly led to the right table on arrival. Service was attentive and professional. The food was excellent, well presented and full of flavour. We did not have to wait too long for food to arrive and all requests were met efficiently and without fuss. I was surprised to see that it was very busy and I hope it remains so through these difficul times.
