The Commonwealth Kitchen in City of London

Nice atmosphere but food and service were disappointing. Service was extremely slow. Took 10 mins to get menu since seated. Staffs were nice but they were very inattentive. Once your dishes come, they don't come back to the table to check up so it is very difficult to grab their attention if you decide to order more food or drinks. Extremely frustrating. Food was okay, not really an authentic Peruvian though. Lemon juice (instead of lime juice) was used in tiger's milk in Ceviche, which is unusual, and flavour was not balanced well. Only dish I enjoyed was Paprika rib, which was tender and well seasoned. Rest of food was not worth the price you are paying for.

We ordered:1. Beef carpaccio2. Crispy peppered calamari3. Pan-fried salmon4. Marinated corn-fed chicken5. Café almendra6. Pera sensación* This is a mix between an Italian and Peruvian menu* They have a set menu: 3 courses for £28 per person* The food wasn’t amazing, probably average; I don’t think it justified the price.* I have to say the service was terrible and they forgot to make my friend’s main dish (and offered no compensation for the mistake).* The interior was classy and modern. And it’s a good location next to Covent Garden.Ratings:* Taste: 6/10* Service: 3/10* Price: 7/10* Presentation: 6/10

Ate here yesterday for lunch. Very friendly greeters and staff throughout the lunch and incredible food too. The calamari was very tasty 9/10 we ordered it twice we like it that much, the prawns were good too 7/10. The chicken skewers were very tasty but only chicken, nothing else, something on the side of it would be nice, 7/10 in spite of this. The pecorino and truffle tortellini was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had, rich, velvety, truffle 10/10. Overall I would return without a doubt, 9/10 overall, reasonably priced considering the service, location, portion sizes and we left very satisfied with the value.

Had this restaurant saved in my ‘London List’ for places to eat. I had extra time on my hands whilst visiting and luckily the restaurant were able to seat us when we were walk-ins. Service was phenomenal, waiters were attentive and chatty. Decently priced food and drinks considering being in London and the menu has a variety of different starters, small plates and mains to choose from! Walked away very satisfied.

Again I went to this great restaurant and could appreciate "the Italian" breakfast (picture below) but I felt like the waiter and waitress could be a little bit more helpful, and taking more attention to the tables, it was difficult to get someone to help me with my questions on the menu or to be served.This is why I give 4 stars.

Best home cooked French cuisine in London.

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and deliciousness of the food here. Defo recommend the pork ribs

Very good service(friendly and helpful staff) and food (not unforgettable but good) in a beautiful location. We had a nice experience.

The staff were a bit rude and edge. The drinks took way to long to come and they forgot my friends drink. Some of the food was pretty good but our risotto was like soup. The guy working there was very nice and apologetic, if it wasn’t for him I would of probably rated it a 1 star. Would of expected better for the price.

The menu had a great selection of dishes, with both Italian and Peruvian options. It was hard to make a choice but the meat was all very well cooked and delicious. It was quite rainy the day we went but the staff were very accommodating and friendly
