A savory tart filled with creamy spinach, a delicate blend of cheese, and flaky pastry for a delightful starter or snack.

"we moved our time and number of guests in the last minute, as we arrived, we were moved to a table next to the lobe music (quite loud.) on request we were moved upwards to a big table. our waitress was excellent and gave great information about meat cuts available. eating was fantastic. the wine list was really good, and we chose a beautiful bordeaux, of which we had 2 bottles. dessert was beautiful. whole experience was beautiful. I guess it's expensive, but they need to pay for high quality food and service, so it felt like excellent worth?"

"Food was amazing and worth every penny! service was great until they had a shift change and we were left unattended as we had eaten by then, we had to chase for the bill and when asked it wasn't met with any words just a grunt. the original lady serving was great, she was lovely and chatty and was super. they had a good selection of drinks however this was a Saturday evening and they has run out of all sparkling wine that was served by the glass. One change i would make is to have more wine options by the glass rather than having to purchase a whole bottle. i was the only one of my party which was drinking wine and wouldn't have wanted a whole bottle to myself. overall great experience and food was amazing just a shame about the last part of our service and the lack of drink available considering it was a Saturday evening"

"We arrived earlier than planned but not a problem, seated us in the bar and ordered cocktails. At the appointed time we were asked if we wanted to move to the table and our drinks quickly followed us. Maitre de was excellent, on hand when required and organised the serving team well. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the wine and made good recommendations about the Bookatable menu options. Service continued to be efficient and unobtrusive. We spent a lovely two and a half hours celebrating my daughters graduation, the restaurant team recognised this with a tailored dessert! The one down side would be the massively overpriced wine. How can a cocktail (just under 10, expensive, but London price) be less than a glass of mid range red 14.50, nice, but not 14.50 a glass nice The food was good value even with the Filet Steak upgrade, just a shame about the drinks prices. Did not detract from an excellent experience, thanks to the Tuesday evening team at Gaucho Smithfield."

"I often come to gaucho and to say I was disappointed last night would be an understatement. My fiancé and I both ordered fillet steak, well I have never seen a cut of fillet steak as flat as the ones we had and the taste wasn’t great either. The chips were over cooked and we couldn’t eat them, the peppercorn sauce was so watery and didn’t taste anything like peppercorn, I couldn’t finish my meal. I wanted to make a complaint on the night as I wasn’t prepared to pay for my main meal but my fiancé told me to rather write a review afterwards as he finds things like that a little embarrassing. The starter was lovely but you can’t really go wrong with bread butter and the dessert was also ok. Very disappointing as we love gaucho but we won’t be going back there in a hurry. I’m not sure if you have changed management, but a friend of mine said they went to to the one in Tower Hill not long ago and they were also very disappointed. Seems like a lot has changed which is a real shame."

"Being immediately after New Year and early in the week, the restaurant was only moderately busy and comfortably accommodated our party of 8. The service was attentive and the food was good, albeit expensive especially when one adds in side dishes [chips, vegetables etc] each circa £4 to accompany the main courses. My main gripe is that the wine list is expensive, with the cheapest wines at £35 and rapidly rising thereafter for wines that aren't particularly special, which in turn bumps up the service charge."

"New Years Day the restaurant was busy but didn't feel crowded, Groucho position the tables with respectful space. Our waiter was outstanding, he gave us so much attention from helping us with off menu cocktails and wine selection, to patiently talking us through the meat cuts. We opted for steaks, which came cooked to perfection (not easy to get medium rare perfect but the chef nailed it) with all the sauces which where equally incredible. Advice leave some room for dessert, Sticky toffee, cheesecake and cookie dough are all highly recommended."

"We went as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children. I must admit the experience was pretty disappointing. The steak was a little over cooked, the chips were soggy (they must have been sitting under the heater for a long time) and the ribeye could have been a lot more tender. Burger was good value, chicken Milanese was over cooked. Service was great and ambience enjoyable. It’s a nice looking restaurant and a seat near the window is recommended, there is always something to look at. Probably won’t rush back."

"Terrible. Service was atrocious, when there was any. Lots of very self important men strutting around doing little and a couple of very harried waitresses trying to do everything. Had to flag someone down to order, after 15 minutes waiting. One coffee didn't arrive so had to order again. When food did arrive it was barely warm and the scrambled eggs tasted grainy and unpleasant. Not going back here and I do a fair amount of business breakfasts. I was shocked at how bad this was."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"we found the food average and the alcohol prices blackmailed. £14 a glass wee (we found when we got the bill, the personal has not shown us the weeping list or advised us in the price) is what I would expect to pay in a first class restaurant not somewhere that sells itself as a casual culinary experience and £5 for 330ml alcohol-free beer and £6 for a 330ml beer really brewdog?. eating was different, but not very good. up from £20 for a main course the options we have chosen (the strange caesar salad and the fish risotto) were disappointing. the salat was a little strange and the fish was overcooked or two smokey and the risotto had no salt in it. we went to a Monday to participate in the open microphone session, but with praise like this we will not return and I would ask if many others with alcohol prices like this."

"Food is good, service is very good. Only negative note is that when I book a table in advance I expect a decent table. I was given one close to the waiters desk, bit uncomfortable, you know the one you are given when you arrive unplanned and they make an effort to accomodate you. There were other tables available but I was said they were booked I booked too..... so overall not happy"

"Food was excellent and served quickly. There were of course on 4 people in the restaurant other than the staff. The steak was really really good and cooked exactly as I had asked for. I thought £3 for some horse radish on the side was ridiculous. The fact the everything is a side at additional cost is a bit much. Nothing was offered included in the price of the steak. So by the time you have say mashed potato, and two veg plus the horse radish you've added £21 to a £43 steak. Pity they no longer have table cloths so it no longer feels like fine dining for a fine dining price. However, the service was excellent as was the food hence the positive rating. The restaurant and its outside tables (in a narrow side street) are a bit gloomy compared with the old location."

"For the price you pay, this place is extremely noisy. It was difficult to have a conversation since the tables are packed too closely together. When I'm spending so much on a meal, I expect a better atmosphere. The service was lacking as well; the staff appeared either overwhelmed or indifferent. I had to actually call the gentleman back just to order my sides after he walked away immediately following my main order. On a positive note, the quality of the food was good, so hats off to the chef!"

"A very special restaurant with a fabulous view over Trafalgar Square and way beyond. A great menu with vegetation choices. A good wine list, but the bottles start just under £30.00. I made a mistake (and so did others) of leaving my coat and umbrella in the downstairs cloakroom, which closes before the upstairs (floor three), restaurant! I was told my coat and umbrella would be bought up to the restaurant cloakroom later but sadly this did not happen and it was a bit of a farce trying to retrieve my items at the end of the night! It is a little tricky to find floor three where the restaurant is situated. Basically enter through the main entrance, go up the stairs to the first level, walk all the way to the back of the room and you will see lifts at the end that will take you up to the restaurant. Definitely worth the trip but book first as this place gets busy."

"I requested a spot at the counter bar since I was alone and heading to the theatre . No sooner was I seated than the bar man abruptly asked me what I wanted to drink no “welcome, how are you tonight” . He seemed a bit miffed when I asked to see the cocktail list, as though I should know instantly what I wanted. And, although a prix-fixe, pre-theatre menu is advertised online, only the regular a la carte menu was handed to me. So I had to ask for that, as well! As it turned out, I ordered an expensive a la carte main dish, since it appealed to me. During my meal, no one ever topped up my sparkling water the bottle stood in plain sight and the barman/waiter watched me refill my glass. And, when I’d finished my cocktail, no one asked if I’d like a glass of wine although I sat there looking at the page of wines by the glass . By then, although I did want wine, I was too fed up with the rudeness to order one. It was only after I asked for my bill that a waiter asked if I’d like dessert or coffee! Obviously, I didn’t. But I just smiled politely and said I had to go. No one thanked me for coming or wished me a pleasant evening. Yes, the place is packed being right by the Ritz Hotel is very beneficial . And the ambiance is suave and clubby. But the waitstaff is basically disaffected although they do act unctuously polite to regulars . I’ve actually been coming to Le Caprice for many years, but usually sit with friends at a table. Hmm— what a difference!"

"We managed to get a last minute booking which surprised us, given that it was a Friday evening in the west end. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and given a nice table by the window. We ordered wine which was decanted at the table by our waitress Valentina. We chose mussels to start followed by pizza and sergios cod provencal along with a tomato and onion salad which they kindly prepared despite not being on the menu, (not always easy to achieve in many other restaurants) The mussels were tiny and many of the shells were empty, however the marinara sauce was tasty. The pizza, quattro formaggi was incredibly salty and doughy. The cod dish was bland and in our opinion the fish was undercooked. We were hungry so ate what we could. But left a considerable amount of food untouched. When the waitress came to clear she could obviously see that we had not enjoyed the food and asked how it was. She was also surprised that no-one had come to do a quality check. She said she would go and speak to the manager, which she did. After we paid and made to leave the manager then approached and offered us a limoncello which we declined. Sadly we were disappointed and despite there being many celebrity photographs adorning the walls, we found the experience underwhelming."

"The pre-theater set menu at this restaurant was very good, but unfortunately, our friend arrived at 6:32 and was told it was no longer available. Instead, he had to order a la carte, which resulted in him only getting a soup before going elsewhere for a sandwich. It would have been more profitable for the restaurant to offer the set menu. This was not a good customer experience and hopefully they will improve in the future."
