One Moorgate Place

The staff here are exceptional. They greet you with what appears to be genuine warmth (hey, even if it’s not — that’s a skill in itself!) and are exceptionally efficient and pleasant whenever you come in. I’ve only been lucky enough to dine here three times but it is by far the best service I’ve had anywhere in the square mile.
But you don’t come to a restaurant for the service… the food is also impeccable. I’ve had the lamb cutlets, the fish and chips, the salsa chicken as well as a string of decadent desserts and I have never had a bad meal there. The truffle chips are cooked perfectly and the tender stem broccoli is always seasoned amazingly. I’m not really one to write ‘rave’ reviews but this restaurant deserves it. Whenever I’m told I’m allowed to go along it literally makes my day.
If you are ever given the opportunity to eat here, take it! You will not regret it. Their wine list is also pretty good.

It’s true, the menu is limited — but I believe this is to suit the lunch crowd in a timely manner. A certain menu, which consists mostly of salads, is guaranteed under 30 minutes or free.
I had the fish and chips, which was absolutely delicious. Also at my table was scallops, lamb, and more. The quality of the food was very high. Service was good, and they accommodated my party of 7 easily, with plenty of room for us all (not to mention at last-​minute notice) l. Chairs are very comfy. They said they are adding outdoor seating some time in the future, which would be good.
I thought my dish was amazing: fresh and filling, but not greasy at all. Highly recommend it for the work lunch crowd. My group was very impressed.
The very reasonable prices, especially for this area, pushes this to 5 stars for me.

Nice place, very cold — both aesthetically and physically. The food was very good — we both had the spiced aubergine main course which was lovely, very unique. The service is good, but not warm — like the dining room itself it was cold, yet competent.
They promise two courses in 30 minutes for 16 quid and if it takes longer, it’s free.
The menu looks great, but only if you eat meat or fish — there was only one vegetarian option, and I managed to pick this restaurant for my vegetarian friend! Luckily she liked it, but they were unwilling to consider making any other options.
It was ok, but I won’t be going back there again, apart from anything else, it was so bloody cold that I still haven’t warmed up!
