"The TripAdvisor review for Lasdun is a bit confusing as it seems to be striving to be a top destination restaurant on its own. Located within the Nat Theatre, it is part of their efforts to create a vibrant dining and drinking scene that caters not only to theatre-goers but also to others looking for a nice meal. I visited on a Saturday night in June, after the pre-theatre rush had passed. My dining companion and I enjoyed a delicious meal, and even struck up a conversation with a delightful couple from Margate at the next table, which added some liveliness to the otherwise quiet restaurant. We started with a snack and a first course of crab, followed by a piece of pollack with chips - all of which was well-prepared using quality ingredients. The service was good, and we had a nice view overlooking the river. The restaurant's design pays homage to Lasdun's South Bank architectural style, and the room itself is quite charming. Our bill came to £176 for two, including 2 white Port Tonics and a bottle of Valeriole Rose - not cheap, but worth it for the high quality of the food and the unique experience. The only downside was the lack of ambiance, but overall, this place has great potential and we look forward to returning."

"We booked at House because it was convenient after seeing Follies at the Olivier. The service was good; courteous and speedy. The food was disappointing and overpriced. There were some very unpleasant foams, tasteless and ill matched combinations ie cold unmarinated mackeral drowned in an unspecified foam. bread and butter pudding does not sit well well with grapefruit. Cooking is far too complicated and simply does not work."

"Hart's Kitchen is off to a great start in the new year. We enjoyed plump, tasty, garlicky prawns and a comforting, creamy artichoke soup for starters. The flat iron steak, cooked medium rare as requested, was flavorful and satisfying. For dessert, we had a delicious chocolate fondant with ice cream and some standard Madeleines with lemon curd. The wine list offered plenty of options at reasonable prices. The service from the one waiter in the small dining area was professional and friendly. It's reassuring to see that this long-standing Nottingham restaurant is still serving up excellent food."

"Been to Harts many times over the years. On this occasion the service was totally awful. The food was still good, but the front of house team badly lets the kitchen team down. Orders taken wrong, one starter having to be re ordered and came out after everyone else had finished, food brought out in the wrong order (vegetables cold on the table before main courses served), we constantly had to ask for everything we wanted. Lack of knowledge for example the wine waiter was adamant port was a desert wine. This isn't the level of service we've experienced in the past with Harts and would recommend giving it a wide berth until management have got the front of house back up to a reasonable standard of service. This time I was the paying host and it was embarrassing."

"Really spot on. We popped in for dinner, our waitress Magdalena was lovely, the food came out quickly and was piping hot. We left utterly stuffed and wondering what we had done ordering so much food! Of you are looking for a decent burger or ribs in central London you could do a lot worse."

"This was my third visit and I loved it. They have the best brunch menu with breakfast and lunch choices and the waiters top your prosecco glass up very frequently! The service is great. Also, I love that it’s three courses as you feel it is good value for money and like a proper meal. One tip-lose the blue macaroon! :o)"

"We went on a Friday lunchtime to avail ourselves of the fixed price lunchtime deal. We have done this a number of times now, usually in a small group, and the service cannot be faulted. The deal price represents great value and there is no attempt to cut corners. Nice variety of starters then we all had steaks and nobody was disappointed. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"eating is really good, well presented too. it is a bit confusing for everyone (like I) used to dessert traditional starter/main. instead they have tapas and bigger dishes. since when was tapas a Korean word? what does that mean in this connection? it is impossible to know how much to order and the presented photos of menu items were not much of a note. there were more bottles of wein and sake (Japanese, probably) to drink than Korean, (class camp the only real I could see). the staff was pleasant and helpful, but seemed a little overstretched. we would have received more advice on what to order, regarding the quantity of food, the timing of the failure, etc. the restaurant is quite small and seemed only able to manage peak times bookings. you need to book this time. worth a visit."

"Great resturant, really good food. Prawn Coaktail was lovely and the Fillet Steak was cooked to perfection. Great friendly service and Rachel on reception was very helpful. Only slight disappointment for me was the Panna Cotta. And somebody really really needs to do something about the play list. Backstreet Backstreets back and Another Level Freak Me on a loop mixed in with a compliation of the worst of the and No. Just No. That playlist is completely inconsistent with the entire hotel and resturant. Apart from that we really enjoyed it and will be back"

"We went to celebrate my Husband’s birthday. We booked outdoor seating but due to weather we couldn’t sit outside. But the inside ambiance was equally good. Lady who served us was very kind and friendly. Limited choice on Menu but Lovely food and not overly priced. Staff was very warm and welcoming. Enjoyed the evening."

"Everything was just not up to standard.. They were sold out in there to special breads when we came. We waited for too long both with drinks and mains. for drinks (we got our starters before they came, and there were two bartenders in the bar not doing anything else than talking to each other) and about for mains. We got some pita bread in compensation. And we didnât like out of three dips to it. Our waitress were so arrogant and didnât even explained the concept or asked about if we liked the food. Besides that there were so many different waitresses there came to our table and they didnât talked together because they asked us the same questions. All in all not value for money a bad experience and we wouldnât come back."

"I had a pleasant dining experience with a great variety at the buffet. I decided to try this place after visiting their spa, and I was happy with the selection available. While there wasn't anything particularly extraordinary, the overall experience was fantastic, and the service was excellent, just as anticipated. Several other tables were occupied, creating a lively atmosphere, but it still felt private."

"We ordered Tapioca Marshmallows, Corn RIbs, Grilled Sweet Potato,Padrones , Black Rice and the large grilled seafood platter to share across 5 pax and most of them were good especially the Black Rice but small points to make the sweet potato was somewhat undercooked in the middle and the corn ribs were just quartered cobs when in fact at other establishments, the corn ribs do NOT have the thick stem inside. Hoping they can perfect the technique and that it can make a difference. Otherwise, another small piece of advice is if they keep there squid cuts so thick, they really should give customers a sharper steak knife maybe as current supply of knives is not strong enough to cut well or easily. Service was a little patchy (we were an indoor table in a corner close to the main street) and we had to wave about quite a bit to get the attention of staff. Otherwise, very happy to return again soon!"
"had a nice family dinner with good choices for all including a child and a vegetarian. the two veggie burger options were great, haggis nachos fab and the salmon salad plentiful. the chips were excellent! only slightly left off was the pizza that had a little heavy base for our lust. beautiful clean toilets and covid safe with lots of space between tables. staff efficient and friendly! would definitely return and recommend everyone."

"Possibly the worst service I ve ever received , we originally waited a hour for our table to be ready once seated we received our starter without getting our appetiser first. Although the starters were very nice . Then we received our mains but after waiting 5 mins we started our steak without getting our sides to accompany our meat the sides did come but after we had eaten most of our steak .All round very disappointing even thought the food was nice"

"After a few years, I am pleased to say that the food quality at this restaurant is still quite good. I give it a full mark for consistency. The menu offers a simple mix of traditional favorites and specialty dishes. We tried the fried fish tendon and were not disappointed. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable, given the current circumstances. Overall, we left satisfied and felt that our money was well spent. I would definitely recommend this place to those looking for a change from the usual Punjabi or Dosa dishes. Keep in mind that the seating is limited, so it might be a good idea to call ahead on busy days."

"Been here twice now because usually by us, i literally get 4-6 prawns in a portion but here, the prawns came and i literally couldn't believe it, the picture doesnt do justice to the size. It must of had 20 prawns on and been somewhere around the length of my forearm!.. I normally eat loads but both times here i have struggled to finish those prawns because theres so many and comes with 6 little tortilla wraps too! Staff are super friendly and accommodating, the food I feel is amazing value for money because of quality and portions, and the taste is to die for. Only thing i think could improve it, which isnt a criticism tbh, is to have a larger variety of drinks, including flat options, and some bigger/cheaper options like a jug of squash or a pint of juice. We are already excited for our next visit though and ive sent the pictures of our food to my family and told them its worth the travel Vegetarian options: Im pescatarian so i eat fish but not meat. I always struggle to find places with good quality pescatarian options. These prawns were to die for and portion was so big i genuinely struggled. I never ever struggle normally Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"so we went to the pfeffer tree, as it was late and there were not many alternatives. I would read here, they did something vegan eating and true enough they do. I probably ate the same as any other vegan who's ever in there: dim-sum, vegetable-stirring-bean and kokosreis. It was okay, not amazing, but okay. I've tied some sweet stuff and I remember a review here that said the cocos rice and mango sorbet was vegan. I asked the waitress and she went away to check and confirm it was. she also mentioned the pancake, but I was stuck with the tear. the desert came and I thought nothing of it and tried the ‘writing’, which proved to be a burned pancake. then I tried the sorbet who proved to be a tagel eis! I complained, but I really don't think she thought it was a big thing! I recommend to avoid this place to all."

"We went here for a business lunch. It may be bad luck with the dishes that the three of us ordered, but we all went for the lamb as a main course, which was frankly very disappointing. The lamb came in small pieces (say was thoroughly overcooked (totally brown). We were all looking forward to a nicely cooked piece of lamb that was pink, but this looked like it was just diced up and fried. Not good cookery. Our starters and desserts were not terrible, but certainly not great either (probably lower quality to most supermarket desserts). Perhaps the chef was having a bad day, but otherwise I cannot fathom why anyone is rating this restaurant highly (although the location is lovely, and the decor also is nice and festive). Service was good too. Overall I am glad I was not paying!"
