Smiths of Smithfield (67-77 Charterhouse Street, London, London, EC1M 6HJ) First time at SOS after a few pleasant reviwes from friends. First impression of the bar downstairs was cold and uninviting. My husband and I had a drink and then made our way up to the 2nd floor for dinner. Took ages before anyone came to take our drink order. My husbands starter (practically thrown at us by the waitress) was so good (Lucky Squid), I had the Portuguese Salt Cod Fritters – have to say I struggeled to taste any salt cod – my mum is Portuguese and hers are the best, so maybe I have been spoilt with hers!!! Ours mains were nice but nothing special. Dessert was ok too. Overall it was an average night. I wouldn't rush back. Beware of the guy downstairs with his clipboard tyring to get you a minicab – we were quoted a silly fare and got a black cab for half the price instead.
