"I’d been looking forward to a meal here for many years and after our experience I had to wonder why. The food was mediocre and that’s being kind. We thought we were off to a good start, as the mackerel beetroot rhubarb and fresh horseradish hit all the right notes. The fish was lightly pickled, as were the other elements, each done in a slightly different brine, and it was fun, playful and tasty. The rest of the meal was a mess. A boiled artichoke was simply plunked on a plate and served with a thick vinaigrette. This is something we do at home all the time, but getting the inedible choke out was a real chore with a fork and dull knife- who wants to fight with their food at these prices? Mains were both hugely disappointing. A tough bit of sliced lamb rump was served with an oily mint sauce which didn’t do a thing for the dish. My pie of rabbit and Guinea fowl was full of bone. The sauce inside the pie was not creamy and rich but rather a very thin broth. While the flavour of the broth was good, it just didn’t belong underneath a crust. When I questioned the server he said that if a pie contains either rabbit or Guinea fowl, traditionally it’s served this way. I have to wonder why. We had some just okay drinks to start, and a glass of very ordinary Champagne with the mains. Though we were really looking forward to desserts which sounded delicious, we knew at this point they probably wouldn’t be so asked for the cheque. The room is nice and service was okay, but the food was inexcusable at this price. Sadly it seems like a tourist trap- the best thing about it? The cute menus."

Nice venue, but food at a recent event was disappointing. Access to the rooms upstairs was very difficult for anyone who has difficulty walking.

Elitist, exclusive, arrogant, full of Boris Johnson types etc, basically everything I hate in a restaurant BUT its still worth a visit for the experience and the food which is pretty decent modern British.

Quo Vadis has evolved from French food cuisine into an Italian influenced menu. The food is excellent; the restaurant is wonderful for friends and families. The restaurant has a beautiful look that is pleasing for all customers. Quo Vadis easy to find. We loved Quo Vadis, it's a wonderful place for couples to dine. By the way, there is a wide choice of wine for diners.

Old school legendary place with hearty food, some modern takes on traditional British food, with an extensive (and not cheap) wine list. Food was top notch, loved the pie of the day (game). Service was good but not exceptional, for example when we went to the loo between courses they brought out the next course and left it on the table rather than waiting till we were both sat down. Sommelier was very knowledgeable. View menu

Sadly I must recommend to skip Quo Vadis. The service was friendly but disastrous. They were out of many things and kept realising it progressively as the evening went along. Drinks took 45 minutes to arrive from when we first sat down, and didn't even arrive together. Then they couldn't manage to course out our food so we ended up with too many dishes all served together that went cold before we could manage to eat them. Had to beg for the bill 3 times. For a dinner with very light drinking (1 drink per person), bill was £280. Which is a lot to spend to be badly served. The smoked eel sandwich was amazing. Get one to go and eat it on the street? Then go elsewhere.

Imagine refined British cuisine in a quiet place in Central London. I was surprised at how elegant this restaurant was despite its location. Outside, the restaurant is quite loud and lively from the neighbouring bars, but inside the restaurant, it feels like you've popped yourself over to Mayfair. The first thing I noticed was how decorative the menu is. They have a variety of options for all diets. We chose a mixture of fish and meat. Their seafood was delicious. The meats were seasoned well, but the smoked eel sandwich was my favorite. Overall, it's a high-quality London restaurant. All the dishes were up to par, but I didn't quite find anything that would urge me to come back quickly.

Had to edit a previous review so guess it’s been 4 years since I was last here! Food and wine was great as always, but have to say I do miss the old dining room with the iconic stained glass window! The stand out about today’s experience I have to say was the service! Previously it’s always been very efficient but I’m afraid a little clinical (the quality of the food always made up for the lack of true connection and warmth). Today there was a difference, great warmth, connection and efficiency by Lydia who served me. I was too immersed in my book to engage in conversation, but she was incredibly attentive, always engaging and always greeting you with the most disarming smile. A true hospita... View menu

Had a wonderful dinner at Quo Vadis this evening. The food was so good: inventive and creative, but balanced and delicious as well as exciting and new. Our server, Fabian, made it a really special dinner. He looked young through my 63 year old eyes, but he was a seasoned pro. I think if what we had been looking for was structure and formality, he would have delivered. However, as this was our first time here and my wife and I have no dietary restrictions and like just about everything, we asked Fabian to work with us to assemble a sampling that would give us a taste of what Quo Vadis does best. He delivered the goods. He was warm, engaging, confident and knowledgeable. A good reminder to the...
