Soho restauarant, good for quick meal before theatre
Booked Bistro 1 for a quick meal before going to the theatre. The staff were helpful despite us moving tables about three times. It's a bit cramped and downstairs is a bit dark but I suppose cheap and cheerful would describe it. It's not modern or trendy but produces reasonable food and we had a deal for £14.90 for 2 courses and a glass of wine. I wouldn't go here to impress someone but it's prefectly fine for a quick lunch or dinner with friends. I hope this review doesn't out anyone off because it really is fine, perhaps it has a charm of its own which more than makes up for the decor but the food is good and tasty.

Booked for 2 children, 2 adults. There was enough choice that no age group felt left out. The food simple, tasty and presented nicely in a timely fashion that we were able to take our time walking to the theatre afterwards.
