"We 'd been meaning to go to Crafthouse for a while and finally managed it for a Sunday lunch on a blustery Sunday the offer was very reasonable compared to some prices £25 for 2 courses. We came up in the private elevator from the road a nice touch; but then were left waiting in a corridor for 5 minutes whilst staff rushed around a half full dining room, then taken straight to our seats in the bar side of the restaurant we would have had a view of Boar lane and South Leeds if the blinds across the windows hadn 't;t all been fully down I can appreciate there would have been some glare earlier in the day, but the sun had already set when we arrived and so half our view was of greige. Service was a bit 'by the numbers ' there was a set order they worked in and we wouldn 't be allowed to order food at the same time as a drink even though we were ready. Starters were OK cured salmon was tasty and well presented, though the accompanying slice of brioche looked a little mean and unevenly toasted; the prawn cocktail was very salty prawns with a limp and tired salad and not enough Marie Rose. Mains were where it all fell apart we were offered beef or lamb either well done or pink and both settled on well, as medium was not allowed; Both meats arrived rare, and though tasty were very tough and gristly cuts, with a lot of visible fat around and through the meat. Veg were OK, though didn 't;t feel particularly freshly cooked. With a (very good) rum old fashioned at £18 the total came to £76 including a 12.5% service charge. Ambiance was noisy, with some dance ish music a bit too loud for my tastes perhaps closing the door on the very noisy group in the glassed off 'private ' dining room would have helped. I 'm glad we went, but there are much better options for the price, or less don;t think we 'll return."

"I wouldn’t normally turn to Tripadvisor to write a slightly negative review but I couldn’t find the restaurants contact details to email direct so here goes… I firstly want to say that the staff here were very attentive, friendly and righted the wrongs that were done with ease and efficiently but these wrongs shouldn’t have happened in the first place. The restaurant is very chaotic. It is in Leicester Square so I’m sure it’s always busy but it seemed very disorganised. We were a table of 7 and only 3 of us ordered starters. 2 of those came out and then we had to chase the 3rd. To which the waiter said they were preparing it now. But it should have been prepared and come out all at the same time. Particularly when it was a cold starter. We then waited a while for the mains and had to chase again. I don’t mind a little time between courses but this was too long. I got given a steak with 2 sauces on and no butter. Trying to get the attention of a waiter was very hard. I eventually got someone and asked why there were 2 sauces on my plate. They didn’t know why and asked which sauce I had ordered. I said peppercorn and they placed the sauce on my plate and took the other one away. In all this confusion our sides had been left on an empty table near ours. The waiter asked if we needed anything else and we said “the sides on the table over there would be nice”. I tried my steak and it was perfectly cooked and then proceeded to pour my sauce over my steak and a mushroom fell out of the pot. Now I’m ALLERGIC to mushrooms and so now my steak is now inedible. I caught the attention of what looked like a manager as they were in plain clothes. I explained what had happened to which she asked me what sauce I had ordered and had I told someone about my mushroom allergy. I said I had told the waiter at the beginning of the meal when we ordered so no excuse to give me the wrong sauce. The sauces do look the same but maybe they should be labelled somehow especially when there’s allergies around. I got given a new steak within a few minutes. It was cold but not covered in mushroom sauce so that’s a bonus. The food was good I can’t fault that but something needs to be done about the service and attention to deal. I also ordered a butter to go with my steak which never appeared even after asking multiple times. I would recommend the food of this restaurant but just prepare yourself for a chaotic dinner."

"this is our third time in london, the last time was 2019 for a week before the corona virus. we were at that time in this restaurant, the service and the food were so good that we went back there 4 times in the same visit. this time we arrived and booked in advance, we arrived and the whole menu is different. I understand that there has been price increases since the corona virus, but I would expect that if the prices rose twice, that at least the service would be appropriate. our waiter was very inkind and impatient. we felt like he didn't want to serve us and ask each one we frightened him. we waited for our appetizers for a long time and the main courses came before me. we had to ask about the court three times until we got it. we thought we were coming at least twice more to eat here on our trip and we will not return. even in juni, when we come back, we will not eat here because it is simply disappointing."

"The worst service I have ever experienced in years of dining out . Zero accountability from every member of staff, blaming every problem we encountered on a member of staff being trained . Waited mins for a drink after seeing it sat on the bar for mins! Waited a further mins for sharing starter with no plates or cutlery ! Another mins later we were still waiting for mains order to be taken ! Waited again for another drink .Such a shame as the food when we did get it was very nice . The only time the waiters noticed us without us approaching them is when we got up to leave without paying the bill as we waited mins again and the bill never arrived. I settled the bill but refused to pay for any drinks having spent the best part of hours getting ignored. Needless to say we will not be returning to a steak and co restaurant anytime soon. Total shambles from start to finish !!"

"The first time we went we age from the lunch menu with the 3 courses for £18 option I really enjoyed my starter, the short rib had a beautiful barbecue taste and the pickeled mustard seeds added a fantastic texture and a beautifuly sharp contrast to the meat. I felt like the crispy shallots didn't add much other than texture, maybe more would've helped. Presentation wise I loved the jar the ribs came in For the main course at @alstonmanchestr I opted the Tweed Valley 250g rump steak which was served with garlic butter and fries on the side. The rump was a £3 surcharge to the set menu, I could've had a flat iron steak for no extra charge but I couldn't do that to myself. The steak was so perfect, I asked for mine rare which did not disappoint. The meat was thick and tasty. I enjoyed the fries but I would've preferred chips, also if I wasn't having 3 courses I would've grabbed some veg on the side. For Dessert I enjoyed Dark berries and gin tart with almond ice cream. This was a great end to my meal, the gin undertoned the sharp Berry flavours and wasn't overpowering. The pastry was firm and sweet. and I enjoyed the dessicated almond on the ice cream provided a nice texture. Our second visit we ate in the evening from the a la carte Starter Courgette and corn fritters with chilli tzatziki did not disappoint, they smelt very aromatic and were nice and crispy. The flavours were great but the main event had to be the chilli tzatziki underneath, it tasted incredible Main I had decided a few days before that I deserved a T bone as it had been a while since I had one. This one was 500g and served with either chips, mash or veg, and a choice of sauce. I opted for chips and I decided to try the bone marrow butter which did not disappoint. All the Tweed Valley steaks at Alston are hand selected by a master butcher from the best cattle that's been fed grass and barley My steak, served rare, was perfect and in true T bone fashion got less cooked in the center so I was pretty much eating a live cow..mmmmm. The seasoning on the seared meat was gorgeous and with that bone marrow butter spread on it was taken to a next level"

"The food at this restaurant was delicious, but there was a problem with the desserts as they took a long time to come out. Despite this, a senior staff member apologized and we were not charged for them. However, we did have to wait over half an hour for our drinks to be brought to our room, which prompted me to write this review."

"Must admit I was disappointed...been going here over the years and have always loved it. However this time I was in the 'extension ' which is not a patch on the original downstairs space!! Not to self....make sure I book downstairs only! I found it did not have the same vibe and was rather chilly. Secondly, I requested 'medium rare ' and my steak arrived 'well done '....bizarre in a steak restaurant!! So my friend had finished her meal and I ate afterwards on my own....not quite the vibe I was looking for when I booked (however.... we were given the option to send both back so we could eat together...my friends steak was perfect so I think it was too good for her to chance it)... When mine was replaced it was good and the sides were perfect.....just a shame that there were a couple of situations from making it a perfect occasion."
