Nicos TagarasJanuary 18, 2017One of the oldest restaurants in London! Stunning dining room. You have to try the roast rib beef or the typical english dish kidney pie! Everything was excellent.
Craig FreemanMarch 6, 2015You have to go for a roast here. Tourist or local you simply must. Surprisingly child friendly too. The bar upstairs is perfect for a pre or post meal drink too.- Reece BeefNovember 1, 2014Absolutely lovely roast beef... Sharing platter for dessert was perfect and no.283 on wine list is perfect and compliments
- Peter MaclaurinMarch 28, 2011One of my favourite restaurants, great service, great food and great wine. One can lose hours in this place. Ask for a booth and perhaps a Cocktail bar upstairs for a light drink before hand. The 'bee
John GavinNovember 25, 2016Good atmosphere and busy but the beef was not as good as I'm used to at home! Quite an operation and very friendly and efficient staff

- James GoochJanuary 21, 2018Fantastic Beef Wellington and the carving trolleys add some theatre. Wonderful ambience in a gorgeous space.
- Robert PaluszakApril 26, 2016We had the roast beef done and it was great. It was my wife's birthday and they treated her to dessert.
- Jonathan RoseJuly 28, 2013Buffet - carbo filled, deep fried, bloat! - heavy heavy heavy...coffee like gravy...I do so love these old English 'institutions'...almost like they can't be bothered to serve up good healthy fare!
Matthew NgSeptember 3, 2014Come for Sunday roast. The beef is great! I also had the lamb which was equally as good!
HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011The exclusive Simpson’s in the Strand restaurant opened in 1828 as a chess club and coffee house. It became known as the home of chess and attracted all the great players of the age.- Reece BeefOctober 6, 2014Class. Elegance. Taste. Famous. Quality Service. Fine dining. Sunday roast is incredible!
Lance LacoffOctober 6, 2014Aged Scottish beef, vegetables, skate, all really good options. Nice ambience
PhilMarch 23, 2013Very quiet in the cocktail bar! And I thought it was supposed to be the best cocktails in town!!!!!
Phil GyfordJuly 24, 2012If you get the roast beef or similar, it is apparently traditional to discreetly tip the carver once he's served everyone. £1 or £2 should be OK.
- Mohammed MohammedSeptember 14, 2017This restaurant is very poor in service. We had to wait for-about an hr to get the drinks. Very bad restaurant in all means
John BradshawMarch 24, 2013To be honest the food was lovely but the service was not. The service was terrible! Took over 30 minutes after ordering the starter for it to arrive.
Girolamo MonteAugust 23, 2014Famoso e Elegantissimo. Ristorante classico dal sapore puramente british. Ordinate l'arrosto britannico al tavolo uno spettacolo per gli occhi e per il palato. Servizio in sala curatissimo.
