Alice's Reviews

I had dinner here last night, and I was really pleased, the staff were very helpful and knew what they were talking about, I went with three other friends, and we tried some lovely dishes, such as the duck and bhoonas, the food was out timely, and the wine was wonderful, its a great venue and would be perfect for large bookings or a party, great place for a first date, as it has a great atmospehre and great mood lighting, I will be back again. It is quite pricey though, so get someone else to pay!

I used Manicomio this year for our AGM and we were so pleased with our choice, we booked for 40 and everything went to plan, amazing service, amazing food and drink and what a great building. Our guests were from the US and EU and each one thanked us for a great meal.
Jason the manager looked after us from start to finish and every wish was catered for, I would recommend this for hiring our part or the whole building or just a dinner for two, the name Gutter Lane also gave us a giggle, but it is far from in the name it is based in! Go try it, you will be so pleased you did.
We had a bean and meat salad to start, black faced lamb for mains, and icecream and berries for dessert plus lots of wine which really complemented the meal.

Wonderful restaurant and the renovation since last years fire next door has done wonders to the place.
The food is wonderful, just remember to ask for the set menu if you want to try lots of lovely dishes for a really great price, esp as the waiting staff will not naturally put it on the table.
This is a great place for a large group or intimate dinner, highly recommended, I have been here about 6 times now, and the food is always spot on.

I had my birthday meal in here last year on a Saturday night, there were 6 of us and to be honest I was really disappointed, the food is nice and the staff were friendly but I just felt like we were in a great big fish bowl.
You have to go down steep stairs to get to the main dining room and in heels this was a slow process.
We were sat in the middle of the room and we all felt like we were being over listened and looked at for the whole meal. I had wanted to eat here since the late 90's at the height of its fame, but I think it needs a re-vamp as it is a little tired now and not as glamorous as I was expecting.

I love this restaurant the staff are helpful and friendly and the food is divine, they do a great ‘Quick Lunch’ menu and it is always out in time so that you can have lunch out in your hour lunch break, I have now eaten here about six times as the steak and moules are divine, it is not expensive and great for people watching.
Well worth a visit

This is my favourite venue in London, we went for our work Xmas meal last year and what a treat, there were 11 of us and we were all sat on a lovely large round table which made interaction and conversation between us so much easier.
It was simple to book and we were offered the exclusive guest/diners bar beforehand for delicious cocktails.
The food is delicious and there is something for everyone as we have a couple in the party who don't eat fish, but they were equally delighted with the choice.
This is a lively venue and very entertaining on every level, I just wish that dining then entitled you entrance to Bungalow 8, but overally a truly fantastic place to eat and so convenient for central London

I celebrated my 30th Birthday here on a Saturday, and once seated we were told by the female waiting staff ‘You need to order now we want the table back at 9pm’ incredibly rude, as we knew we had the table from 7-9pm. We chose one main course only, as that is the only time we had! The food overall was good, although my medium steak was a little burnt, my friends dishes were nice, but not worth the £16+ price tag plus sides.
The Circus acts were interesting, the flexi girls were great, but the Brazilian dancers were a little odd, seeing as it was a circus theme.
Overall ok to try once, but I and my friends will not be going back
