Social Eating House in City of London

Was a stunning evening, had the experience of the chefs table and it was amazing! Friendly staff great cooking! Paul hood and the team made it a very special night!

Want a Michelin star chef to cook your dinner?We gave this place some high ratings. It’s definitely a pricey place to eat, but is it worth it? I say yes!We ordered: Roasted Cumbrian Herdwick lamb rump 🐑, coco beans, aubergine, tamarind, sheepmilk ricotta, lamb fat. This isn’t somewhere I would eat regularly. I would go here to celebrate (e.g. getting a promotion) . The service was amazing; the waiter even poured our sauce for us. It was very dark inside - initially we walked straight past it because it looked closed from the outside. Although it was a very small portion size, it did have a high quality taste (but we weren’t full at the end of our meal).Ratings out of 10:- Taste: 8 😋- Service: 8- Price: 9 ££££- Presentation: 9

The Chef's counter experience was so good, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. We felt really comfortable and relaxed and the service was excellent. A special thanks to Oliver in the kitchen, he was really informative and very easy to chat to. All in all a great evening and I would really recommended. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great scallop starter. But unwhelming mains, the halibut was overcooked，and while the venison was cooked perfecty the lasagne didn't add to the dish at all. I've had much better meals in london , and it was a shame that my favorite bread and wine was closed. I mentioned to the waiter my feelings on the mains but no comment was made. I would have let that slide but from the moment we walked in we felt like we were looked down on even though the restaurant was quiet they had to check if tables were available. We also were asked to provide our name and number as if a possible no pay risk even, and after paying the bill and service charge ready to leave no one brought our coats back , having to walk of shame across the restaurant to obtain them. Much better food for the price to be had where you do actually feel welcome.

Full 5 stars from me and would give 6 if I could. Went there last week for a dinner at the Chefs Counter downstairs in the basement. Just wow! Food - oh my God! Culinary orgasm! Wine paring - perfect!Very much enjoyed watching the kitchen too - like beautiful choreographed chaos!Looking forward to be back and try the new Christmas Menu.

Just had a lovely lunch here. Cosy welcoming feel, peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of Xmas shopping, and not too noisy even when it got a lot busier later on.Seasonal menu looked enticing but a little too large for us at 3 courses for lunch. If I remember it was about £54 with a cocktail but don't quote me on that.We opted for a hake dish and venison dish with a side order of triple cooked chips.Absolutely delicious, the vension shoulder trimmings came as a lasagne on the side, with the fillet on the main plate.Friendly attentive service and nice to have a change of vibe compared to Pollen Street social (Another favourite).

Food sublime - service somewhat lacking.We went for the festive lunch menu. Had one each of the starters , both delicious , but placed infront of the wrong customer, before we could say anything he had dashed off the get the dressing for the bream ..( I know this isn't a huge thing but having been to other Jason restaurants it was a bit off) . We moved onto main course with chicken, cranberry,creamed Brussels...fabulous flavours and presented beautifully, my partner had the flat iron steak , again cooked to perfection but the given steak knife wouldn't cut through it , had to ask for a sharper one. Again these are not huge issues but not to the standard we expect from going to an Atherton restaurant. And just a bit slow all round.Wouldn't rush back there, where as all the others we have wanted too and occasionally have 😊

Just wow! Amazing experience at the chefs counter, sitting in the kitchen. Fantastic atmosphere and so much fun to be able to chat with the chefs as they worked. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming.The food was outstanding, from presentation to taste, absolutely flawless.The tasting menu is a lot of food! So arrive hungry. They paid attention to our dietary requirements/preferences too.The only criticism was that the drinks took wayyyy too long to arrive. We had been served two food courses before our first drink arrived. The food did arrive very quickly and we felt a little rushed. Would’ve been nice to have longer gaps. I wonder if they had other bookings after us that they were trying to fit in?Overall a great experience and a wonderful evening.

Fantastic for foodies. Excellent crafted menus wonderful staff and a fabulous cocktail menu, if you have the time book a table at the Blind pig (which is their bar upstairs) for some truly unique cocktails pre or post dinner.

A feel of class, but not in your face, moreover subtle and refined decor and ambience. Greeted warmly we were met by our waiter who talked us through the menu. The descriptive on the menu is imaginative and benefits from a little explanation… both interesting and fun. When it came to the food… a flavour explosion, dining Nirvana. I could easily compose an individual write up on every course. For fear of boring you, I will simply say that every course was 11/10!! But I have to say, the dessert was mind blowing. We will most definitely return
